  • EP:09 How to develop mental toughness

    Mental toughness

     

    WHY IS IMPORTANT?

     

    Life will give you plenty of sh*t sandwiches and you will need to be tough to face challenges and “NO” periods.

     

    A life dedicated to growth isn’t an easy one, if you are taking the shortcut and the easy road, you

    will have very little success to show for.

     

    Learning how to deal with challenges and become better at dealing with them will give your more

    chances to succeed in the long run.

     

    More famous cases are Thomas Edison and his

    colleagues tested thousands of materials before creating the carbon-filament
    lightbulb; J. K. Rowling received twelve rejections before the first Harry
    Potter book was published

     

    Mental toughness will not make you quit when things become

    hard

     

    What it is?

     

    Mental toughness is a personality trait and is the capability to do your best while in the face of

    stress and obstacles.

     

    Mental toughness relies on your ability to manage negative emotions like anger, fear, and sadness so they

    don’t control and lead you away from your results

     

     

    Mental toughness isn’t something you’re born with, but a state of mind you can cultivate with

    patience, passion, and hard work.

     

    To be mentally tough, you have to demonstrate courage in the face of adversity even

    when the outlook is poor.

     

    -----

    The 4Cs model of mental

    toughness was initially proposed by Peter Clough et al (2002)

    The mental toughness model comprises four components,

    the 4C’s:

     

     

    Control: believe we can make a difference,

    focus on what you can control

     

    Commitment, (take time and promise you will

    stick to it, discipline, doing thing when you don’t feel them)

     

    Challenge (enter flow, growth mindset)

     

    and Confidence (believe you can)

     

     

    How to develop it?

     

    Accepting reality and charging head on

     

    Accept reality and not sugar coating – I might not getting results but if I keep doing

    the right thing, things might change, even if it’s going to take time.

    Observe and adjust your patterns of thinking. 

    Are you thinking too many negative thoughts, such as I can't do this? Are you thinking unrealistic thoughts, such as the current situations in society have no impact on me.? Think in a way that is both positive and realistic. If you notice your thought pattern is not balanced(i.e. too many negative or too many positive thoughts), work to adjust it through positive and realistic self-talk.

     

    Have a positive yet realistic mindset. This mindset enables mentally tough people to function at their highest level. It’s rooted in the fact that they accept that: a) the world is unpredictable, b) obstacles, setbacks, and change are a natural part

    of life, and c) the way to make progress is by confronting these realities head
    on.

     

     

    Deal with failure correctly:

    Be resilient in the face

    of setbacks and failure. Mentally tough people recognize that disappointment,
    mistakes, and failure are natural parts of life, seeing them as opportunities
    to learn and grow. When you stop seeing failure as a reflection of your
    adequacy or worth, that’s when you perform better. Failure as an inevitable
    part of life and valuable feedback that you can learn from

     

    When you make a mistake

    or fail, immediately acknowledge and dispute any negative thoughts that arise
    by telling yourself that this is a chance to learn and become better.

     

    How to deal with failure:

    First, apply the 10/10/10

    test: Ask yourself whether the failure will matter 10 weeks, 10 months, or 10
    years from now.

     

     This will give you a sense of perspective, so

    the offending event doesn’t consume you.

     

    Have a

    support network

     

    resist the urge to hole

    up and isolate yourself after the failure or setback. Instead, reach out to a
    friend who you know will make you feel better by distracting you or making you
    laugh.)

  • EP06: Where to go when it's Cold? EUROPE EDITION - Canary Islands - Spain

    Probably the only place in Europe that has 20+ degress from november to march, The Canary Islands, Spain


    How to reach the Canary Islands? : cheap airlines from all over Europe main cities, especially from Madrid, London – plenty of flying options and if you want to do van life, ferries from south of Spain.

    Where to go, let's start with the island I recommend the less

    Lanzarote

    Do you like small places filled with Italian and Spanish men that love biking? Then Lanzarote it’s the place for you.

    Reality is there are few spots on the island and none of them have great volume. Although From Arrecife to Famara or Playa Blanca is only 30 minutes.

    If you are into nature, biking and surfing, cool,But I think still think Tenerife and GC are better and offer overall better accomodations

    Fuerte Ventura

    Lanzarote volume is pretty much all about Corralejo,in the north, where on week ends locals come to party as in the local municipality, puerto del rosario, there is pretty much nothing, actually the city itself has a bit rundown vibe.

    You will have germans and italians visitors – I spent some time in the south in Morra Jable, (almost 2 hours driving to the south) and while I think the place is beautiful, it makes sense to visit only for tourism purposes

    Now let’s go to the two best options:

    Tenerife – south best weather but a lot of british tourists, night game in las Veronicas if you are brave enough or Friday/Saturday locals also go to Papagayo and Casablanca

    People come here for surfing, train at beach volley or visiting natural attractions so daygame will be a little bit hard.

    Not much volume and quality in the app in the south, bumble is pretty much dead better chance in santa cruz, but climate is different.

    Also consider that Santa Cruz carnival draws a lot of attention and people so it might be worth checking it out and staying there while investing one hour of your time to visit the south.

    The University is in a village called La laguna and it’s quite distant from everything and it’s frankly a cold weather (in tenerife there are over 20 micro climates, so in 1 hour you could pass from summer to winter temperatures back and forth)

    Mainly british tourists and italians in Las Americas – Los Cristianos and a lot of old people in pension.

    There aren’t many solo girls travelling so you need to have your two set game on point and you need to be opportunistic.

    El Medano is the paradise for wind sports lovers such as kite surf

    Here you have a small village with relative low volume, although being small and attractive to sportive people, makes so that it attracts a more stable digital nomad community – it reminded me of Tarifa in Spain.

    Gran Canaria –

    Same as Tenerife, the south has better climate while the north has more volume, although here the city is more compact and less spread out. Although the airbnb’s will be generally more expensive than Tenerife.

    The main beach and University are near the city so Gran Canaria, overall, gives you the biggest volume and logistics.

    The south is Mas Palomas and here you have all nationalities, I saw in my experience that overall there is more young people.

    other islands have zero volume, don’t even bother.

  • EP04: Cold at home? Travel and go to Mexico (beaches edition)
    Hey Guys
    Mario here andI published a podcast about where to go in Mexico when it's cold and I thought you could enjoy some notes of it for directions - where to go and some safety concerns. feel free to ask me any questions about
    So as many of you are from the us, from Canada, from Europe, this is the time of the year when it start to getting a little bit cold and we look for a little bit of more Heat, sunlight. Isn't that bad, isn't it?
    So today we're talking about Mexico. Mexico is my favorite country to go in winter simply because of the options that it offers. And also other things like tourism, food, great people. I just find it overall is a great country to spend some time. Now, Mexico could be divided into two categories, like the big cities.
    So you have your Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, and the Touristical areas like Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Tulum on the East Coast. Meanwhile, on the west coast, you have, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta and Puerto Escondido.
    We're going to focus mainly on the touristical areas, where to go, what to do, how is game, etcetera, meanwhile, the cities are for another day also because cities I see, I see them more as a long-term thing.
    IF you have your classic, one week or two months that you wanna spend around here, this is probably where you should focus. West Coast is coming second in my opinion in terms of visibility and why to go there.
    CANCUN
    So I will start with Cancun, simply because Cancun probably is where you're gonna land. It's the biggest airport in the area. You also have an airport in Cozumel, but unless you're really into diving, I wouldn't just stay there. There isn't much volume. Okay. So Cancun, you have your beach area, which is where all the main big resorts are, where the beautiful sandy beach is.
    Beautiful, crystal clear waters in terms of beach wise, I probably think is the best between the tree. Only thing though is there isn't much to do. You know, that's, that's the only thing in Cancun. There isn't much the downtown. I don't think it's a great location for day game. Your best options are probably nightclubs and the apps.
    So that's it. During the day, nothing much going on. The cool thing to do around here is probably Isla Mujeres and Isla Holbox, which are. Two small islands Isla Mujeres is a little bit up north of Cancun. Meanwhile, Holbox requires a little bit of travel to reach there. Again, great places to relax fantastic nature. But there isn't the kind of volume that we're looking for.
    PLAYA DEL CARMEN
    45 minutes away from Cancun Airport, you're gonna have Playa Del Carmen. So in Playa Del Carmen, it's a little bit seasonal place you have. overall good volume around the winter so you can do day game, night game apps, everything works. Although there's periods where you have more of that, which is during Christmas holidays, new Year's Eve, spring break.
    The other times it's a little bit quiet. You still have enough volume, but it is not gonna be crazy volume. Okay. Where to stay: I wouldn't recommend Quinta Avenida, which is where you have most of your volume, simply because at night it gets a little bit too loud and prices are a little bit higher in my opinion. So you can take an Airbnb on decima or a hotel. Although some of these are hit or miss, as they might don't allow you guests soon. You have to pay extras. So it's always, again, it. Hit or miss. Okay. There's plenty of two sets going on during the day simply because there aren’t many solo traveling girls.
    There are of course, as always, but you need to get your day game Two sets on point. Okay. Also, the hottest girls you'll meet here are Argentinian. And unfortunately, very few of them speak English, so speaking Spanish as always is recommended in this part of the world. At night. There aren't many choices.
    I think the best ones are tequila and clandestino. There is also another place called Santino. It's okay, it is not my favorite place, but it's still worth checking out. I w

  • EP03: Why Short Guys can't get laid... or can they?

    Hey Guys, Mario Tubone here

    I want to talk to you today about a topic that I know is on the minds of many guys out there: height and dating. Specifically, the question of whether guys below 6 feet can get the ladies.

    I know this is something that a lot of guys worry about, because there's this idea out there that women only want tall guys. And I won't lie, being short can be tough sometimes. But I'm here to tell you that your height is only a small part of your overall sexual market value.

    I've seen plenty of short guys who are successful with women. It's not just about how tall you are - it's about your confidence, your mindset, and how you present yourself your looks) and your money, status and Game.

    One of the biggest issues that a lot of short guys face is negative beliefs about themselves. They think that women won't find them attractive, or that people won't respect them. But these beliefs are limiting your success not just in dating, but in other areas of your life as well. If you believe that people won't respect you, then you won't have the confidence to take risks and pursue your goals.

    Another issue that comes up a lot is victim mentality. Some guys think that because they're short, they don't have any options. They believe that height is the only factor in their sexual market value, and so they don't bother trying to improve in other areas. But this is a defeatist attitude that will only hold you back.

    I've known guys who are shorter than average but are incredibly successful with women because they've focused on what they can control. They work on their confidence, their social skills, and their overall presentation. They take every opportunity to meet new people and explore new places. And you know what? It works.

    At the end of the day, your height is just one component of your overall sexual market value. Yes, it matters to some women, but it doesn't matter to all of them. And it's certainly not the only thing that matters.

    So if you're a guy who's feeling down about your height, I want you to remember this: you control your own life. You can choose to focus on your limitations, or you can choose to focus on what you can do to improve yourself. The choice is yours.

    Thanks for reading, and I'll see you in the next post!

  • EP02: Cold at home? travel and do game: Colombia

    Hey there, it's Mario Tubone, and in this episode of my podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Viking, my Nordic guest.


    We discussed his experience in Colombia, a country that has become a popular destination for tourists and pickup artists alike. Mr. Viking recommended visiting Bogota, the capital city, for a short period to get a feel for the country, but suggested staying in other areas that are more laid back and warmer. He also shared his recommendations for safe areas to stay in Bogota, such as Chapinero and Park 93, which have high quality of life and are close to malls, bars, clubs, and the best restaurants. For those interested in day game, Mr. Viking suggested the area around Andino Mall, while night game is recommended in Zona Rosa. We also touched on safety concerns in Colombia
