How can you tell a true friend from someone who just wants something from you? You need to know this so you can cut off those that are holding you back.

One mistake some true friends might make is laying down pressure when all they are trying to do is show support. What are better ways for them to support without adding to the stress or workload?

People on the outside always have an opinion about something they have never experienced.

We all know someone or have been that person that talks about making change but never takes the first step. Just talking about it seems to give a quick reward but does not provide the satisfaction they desire. Our society is programmed to be validated by thumbs up and hearts instead of acting and showing results. ”Like me for who I am” seems legit but is it really an excuse to make people feel bad for calling you out? Akira and myself reflect back on our own past to provide insight on why people do this and why it does not bring the satisfaction they desire.

We have lost the definition on what a true friend really is.  We think more is better and strive hard to be popular when it’s taking us away from what we were put here to do.  Is helping others with no concept of reward a bad trait?  Some of us are not supposed to fit in and that is fine, we have bigger and better things to do, and will meet incredible, genuine people along the way.  Join Akira and myself as we discuss why you should not fit in on this episode of Mind Muscle Connection.

Most people do not care what you are doing.  We focus on getting validation from those that do not care and stop focusing on the coach or mentor that does care, shooting ourselves in the foot.  Why? Is trauma from the past causing you to repeat the same cycle? The boys talk about this dilemma and how to over come it.

The boys talk about how saying this phrase, and actually putting action behind it, can change your life.

On our second episode of suicide awareness month we are joined by Joe Shelley as we talk about how powerful saying f** you can be when you put action behind it. We talk about our own instances where we had enough of being depressed, and letting life kick us while we were down, and how we said f*** you and turned it all around. We changed relationships (not got rid of them), changed our habits, and now live a better path that brings satisfaction.

The boys recognize Suicide Awareness month all of September. This week we start with “It’s ok to not be ok.” We discuss the different types of suicide (not just ending your life), what can fuel them, and what steps can we take to reframe our mind and get in the right direction. Tactics as simple as remembering what you have accomplished instead of where you messed up, cutting off people and environment you do not need, and how the bigger person, not the wimp, will ask for help instead of tackling this on their own. Why are people stubborn and try handling it on their own when they have not been able to handle it for many years, which will eventually lead to a point where you will end up hurting people around you.
