Unlocking Your Inner Strength

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell gives an exciting talk about habit formation. It’s a common issue, which not a lot of people know how to deal with. Tune in, and understand how you can create new habits and get better in life!

Here are the show highlights of The Story of the Orange Mallet:

• The Road Not Taken (00:58)
• How habits are formed (2:09)
• The story of the orange mallet (2:43)
• Mylene sheaths (3:59)
• Best time to form new habit (4:36)
  
• Discipline in habit formation (6:35)
• The law of momentum (7:43)
• Habits as systems (8:41)
• Fatigue makes cowards (10:13)
• Dependent on energy (12:02)

Kyle tried to write Robert Frost’s poem in cursive. It’s a classic poem about taking the unpopular route. New habits are formed in a similar way.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.” -Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken

The brain has a neural pathway that isn’t used much. The only way to form that path is to keep going back and forth. Similarly, you need to form new routes to form new habits.

Kyle enjoys doing hammer drills every day. He does it for brain development. He recently bought an orange mallet.

It was not easy having to change from a big mallet to a small one. He used to hit 300, but things aren’t the same. He needs focus to get used with his new orange mallet.

People struggle creating new habits. In his coaching sessions, Kyle focuses on helping others create new habits in any areas of concern. The best time, as he explains, is when you focus only on one habit while the rest of your life turns off.

For Kyle, while he was still teaching, his best time was usually during summer. It’s when his mind is clear and can pull in different directions. Overall, Kyle suggests that you choose one key habit that could influence all else.

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell debunks some fitness myths. Kyle has learned from the greatest minds in the industry. He quickly learned how people don’t usually think for themselves. Tune in to learn about these fitness lies.

Here are the show highlights of It's Time to Nuke Some More Fitness Lies:

• Mainstream fitness issue (2:03)
• The ham story (2:31)
• Myth 1: calorie deprivation (4:32)
• The set point (5:09)
• Limited willpower (5:48)
• Food as a drug (7:19)
• Myth 2: cardio (8:39)
• Myth 3: salt is bad (11:38)
• Benefits of salt (13:37)
• Myth 4: core training (14:47)

Many enjoy the topics of fitness and diet. But not many people think about why they do something. They depend on what they’re told to do instead of also thinking for themselves.

For this, Kyle recalls the ham story. A mother used to bake ham in the holidays. She would cut it in half before baking. It was a tradition their family held.

The thing was they never knew why they were doing so until they asked the person who started the tradition. Similarly, many exercise to stay fit without knowing why they’re doing so. Sadly, they think that they are doing the right thing.

Number one in the list is calorie deprivation. Many think that they need to cut calories in order for them to lose weight. But, it doesn’t last long.

There is a set point that the physical body adheres to. As Kyle explains, it’s not something that you can put a habit around. You can’t go on farther than your set point.

The body has a limited amount of willpower. Take Kyle for example. His set point is 250 lbs to 235 lbs.

Every time he joins a contest, he starves himself for 4 months. Remember that the brain and body are geared for survival. They draw in weight when they need to.

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell shares some notes he got from a seminar in Florida. Tune in for some classic insights!

Here are the show highlights of Secret Notes from Secret Seminar:

• An interesting crowd (2:13)
• Parts of the body that relate to vision (6:10)
• Writing in cursive (8:01)
• Activate the cerebellum (9:51)
• Earning your way up (13:43)
  
• Stages of stress response (15:49)
• Speed as a product of relaxation (17:36)
• Short interesting notes (20:00)
• Warrior, scholar, healer (22:25)
• Share who you are (24:28)

Among the seminar speakers were Matt Furey and Ted Nicholas. Many renowned personalities attended the event. One was world-class athlete who lacked confidence in himself. Sadly, lack of confidence could make you appear inauthentic to those around you.

Vision—not the actual sight—is related to different parts of the body. The first one is the parietal lobe, which allows you to remember things. It’s where ideas appear.

The second part is the crown of your head, which projects prophecy. It allows you to predict things that are going to happen. You also have the solar plexus located below your chest. It’s where your gut feeling comes from.

Cursive writing is very much tuned into the brain. It allows your bones and ligaments to move naturally. This is why Kyle encourages people to start writing in cursive.

When you try to copy somebody else’s writing, the brain picks up that other person’s experiences. Writing it the same way gives you access to their thoughts. As Kyle puts it, fine motor skills influence gross motor performance.

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell discusses how the brain reacts to survival. Tune in and learn how you can manage your thoughts to respond better to any situation!

Here are the show highlights of Your Brain is Hell Bent on Survival:

• Power of the eyes in survival (2:15)
• Breaking ocular lock (3:58)
• What is peripheral vision (4:52)
• Pure physical threat (5:26)
• The fetal position (6:59)
• Why exercise feels good (9:37)
• Deciding based on emotions (11:31)
• Thinking and movement (12:14)
• The aging brain (13:30)
• Designed to be pushed (15:08)

The eyes play a major role in survival. Regardless of where you are, you always want to break eye contact with the threat.

The eyes tell a lot of things about what is going on in the brain. Maintaining eye contact tells the threat to keep going. Realize how powerful the eyes are.

The eyes lose their ability to scan when they are fixed onto something for so long. This is called ocular lock. Remember that the eyes are tied into balance and movement patterns.

Attack is usually sensed from the peripheral vision. It is less likely to be sensed when you’re experiencing ocular lock. This is why you need to realize what is going on in your brain, and avoid looking onto something for so long.

Your legs and abs are shortened when you’re sitting. This gives you a ready position when faced with a threat.

In the fetal position, you tuck your knees up to your chest and your head down to your knee or stomach area. This enables you to protect your head. Remember that the way you carry yourself reflects the thoughts of your brain, and sends signals to the threat.

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell shares some classic insights to help you manage your energy wisely.

Here are the show highlights of Systems and Chaos Planning:

• Systems for survival (2:51)
• Goals for 2017 (3:29)
• Things that can get in the way (4:33)
• Ways to manage mental energy (6:07)

• Energy management (13:56)

Systems for Survival

Goals are not habits, but systems are. The brain works on the systems that we create. As discussed in the previous episodes, habits help free up head space. They help us focus as well.

Our bodies need habits and systems for survival. We need to have goals, and break them down to systems.

Goals for 2017

One of Kyle’s goals for this year is to write 3 books. To achieve his goals, he has set the habit of writing 1,500 words per day. Before that, he first identified what he wanted to write about.

Systems make you feel successful every day. You work on them each day for you to achieve your goals. Just like having a dietary habit, you need to stick with the system to succeed.

Things that can Get in the Way

Consistently practicing the system you’ve set can be challenging. Many things can get in the way. This is why it’s important that you know how to manage your energy wisely.

Many people make a list of things to do, fail to get things done, and get frustrated until their tasks pile up throughout the week. Lack of focus can burn up mental energy. Once done, you would need to take a break.

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell shares his thoughts regarding the book Patton on Leadership. It’s a good read for anyone interested in improving their leadership qualities.

Here are the show highlights of Leadership Principles From General George Patton:

• Doubt in your voice (7:03)
• Adapting principles to circumstances (5:00)
• Leading by example (4:18)
• The habit of winning (3:28)
• A word on leadership (2:56)

• Thoughts on progress (11:06)
• Focused commitment of life energy (12:13)
• Balance of time and resources (14:06)
• Do the hard work upfront (18:11)

A Word on Leadership

Everyone can develop their leadership skills. It’s not just for someone running an organization or for coaches.

Leadership is like the essential qualities of self-compassion and love. You need to have it first before enforcing it on others. Simply put, you can’t lead others if you can’t lead yourself.

The Habit of Winning

Winning is a habit and not just a goal. It takes time for the mind to settle on doing something, and turn it as a habit. That’s winning—having the momentum to work on your plan every day.

It’s difficult to keep losing in life. Imagine having to lose a lot of pounds. For you to improve, you need to lose an ounce at a time.

Leading By Example

A leader has to go ahead of his followers. It’s important that you lead from the front. For Kyle, he does the actual training and maintains a healthy lifestyle.

Another important leadership quality to learn is the ability to adapt one’s principles to circumstances. To do so, you need to know your principle first. Learn more leadership principles from today’s episode!

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell shares the immutable laws that he holds true in his life. They are classic principles which everyone else can practice.

Here are the show highlights of Kyle Newell's Rules #6-10:

• Subscription newsletters (1:32)
• Immutable laws (3:09)
• Rule 6 clarity is king (3:31)
• Significance of clarity (4:21)
• Rule 7 have a morning routine (5:08)
  
• Kyle’s routine (6:35)
• Rule 8 put your own mask first (7:43)
• Rule 9 rhetoric vs dialect (9:01)
• Rule 10 compassion towards self (10:40)
• Recap (12:14)

Clarity is King

Kyle’s personal word for the year is clarity. The mind can go on a reactive state when it lacks clarity. Consequently, a lot of bad things can happen.

In most of his mind mapping sessions with clients, he saw the lack of clarity that people deal with in life. It presents a kind of ambiguity where you wouldn’t know what’s supposed to happen.

Significance of Clarity

Unspoken issues can lead to unwanted division in a relationship. Consider a husband who has something in mind that annoys him. His wife, on the other hand, thinks about something according to how she views his situation. This unspoken tension, however, grows over time and divides them.

That is why clarity is important—it lessens the intensity of the emotions that one suppresses. Everyone around you wouldn’t have a hard time knowing what you want when you’re clear with your thoughts.

Have a Morning Routine

Having a morning routine enables you to make the most out of your day. The most stressful hour is when the cortisol goes up for about 2 hours before you actually get up from bed. It’s the time when you move from being unconscious to conscious.

Regardless of how comfortable your bed is, the cortisol will alert you of the day. Most people wake up confused, and further allows this main stress hormone to take over. It could lead them to doing things they’re not in control of. This is why it’s important to have a morning routine.

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell discusses the importance of releasing bottled-up emotions for a healthy body.

Here are the show highlights of Take a Page from 'Falling Down':

• Releasing bottled-up emotions (1:50)
• Meet the alter ego (2:36)
• Tension myositis syndrome (4:17)
• The Divided Mind by Doctor John (5:24)
• Premise behind TMS (5:53)
• Pain that diverts attention (7:30)
• Mind map principles with pain (7:53)
• Psychomotor medicine (10:18)
• Getting defensive (11:29)
• Kyle’s piece of advice (13:36)

Releasing Bottled-up Emotions

Kyle recalls the movie titled Falling Down starring Michael Douglas. It revolved around a defense worker who had enough of the belief held by everyone around him.

“You can only be the person down for so long before you lose it.” -Kyle Newell

He went on a rampage, and became in control of everything. Apparently, his repressed or suppressed emotions led him to that point of becoming a badass character. This happens to many people as well.  

Meet the Alter Ego

Everyone has an alter ego that just needs to come into play. For this, there will come a time that we will have to release our rage. If we keep on suppressing it, our animal brain could take over and place us in a state where we’re not in control.

Tension Myositis Syndrome

Many people have mystery ailments that have no physical cause. This is what it means to have a tension myositis syndrome.

Kyle had a similar experience for two and a half years. He had all the symptoms of stomach disease, but failed to find out what caused it. They tried everything but to no avail.

That’s when he heard about Doctor John’s book titled The Divided Mind. To this day, it gave him the ability to remain healthy.

In today’s show, the human strength expert Kyle Newell shares the importance of having a morning routine and how it can help you make the most out of your day.

Here are the show highlights of The Ultimate Morning Routine:

• Smart Moves (1:30)
• A life without plans (3:05)
• Importance of having a routine (4:44)
• Learning and movement (6:00)
• Physical movement and emotional safety (6:40)
• Emotionally engaged with focused interest (8:55)
• Chronic stress (12:07)
• Ultimate morning routine (13:15)
• Making use of both sides of the brain (16:03)
• Kyle’s piece of advice (19:47)

A Life without Plans

Kyle started achieving moderate success in his daily life about 4 years ago. For whatever reason, he decided to leave off planning the night before. Consequently, for many months he woke up without having clear objectives in mind. Than gave him more stress.

To discuss it further, he points out the existence of 6 different environments. The time we wake up every morning is the most stressful time for us. It’s when we move from being unconscious to being conscious. During which, we develop hormones that alert us of the day.

Importance of Having a Routine

Survival mechanism is the very act of a routine. It’s something that alerts us each day without having to think about it. If we think about everything that we need to do, our brains will be exhausted even before setting off to do them.

For that reason, we need to save our energy when possible. Good way to do it is by setting goals, allowing our minds to create and rationalize ideas.

Learning and Movement

For a long time, Kyle went through a mild state of depression due to lack of planning. During those months, he would wake up without knowing what to do. From that, we find the connection between the brain and the body’s mechanisms. This means learning cannot be separated from movement.

The Story of the 3 N’s

Kyle shares the story of the 3 N’s: Nolte, knee, and pneumonia. He tells about how he got completely stressed out after working on a number of things at the same time.

He was still working full time as a school teacher when he and his wife opened the training facility. With that, Kyle had to balance two main jobs at the same time.

He ignored the stress it gave him, and just continued working. As a result, he suffered from pneumonia.

Finding the Perfect Balance

The experience taught Kyle the impossibility of having a perfect balance in life. No matter how much you strive for it, it still would not be achieved.

The tough schedule and the stress it caused took away his freedom. Consequently, Kyle had to resign from teaching. He learned classic lessons from it, and he wants to guide others in finding the right balance they need.
