“Winning is defined differently for each of us but victory for me would be leaving here at peace with myself. I dunno what that is yet. You sometimes don’t like what you see + you become aware that you may need to change some things.” “Success is stumbling from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm” TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast SEE MY FACE + OTHER CONTENT: www.youtube.com...

Here's the second set of things I learned from watching the show ALONE: 2. The main thing that makes people give up on this dream of theirs - other than actual starvation or contracting some sickness or some shit, is that they miss home. Isolation is fucking horrible.  3. One Person’s trash is another person’s lifeline. Anything can become a resource or an asset if you are creative, persisten...

The most valuable lesson I've learned from binge-watching a bush-whacking show is: 1. Attitude is the number one dictator of success or failure. It’s almost fool proof to assume if one of the contestants is shown mourning their family or losing their cool, or losing their temper, or losing their positive energy around the “mission” that they will give up within the next few days. Whether that be a...

the lesson:even if your life is in shambles right now + there’s a big ass ugly black tree trunk right in the middle of your beautiful landscape of life + all you wanna do is throw the whole damned thing away!?? Tune into that bob ross energy and let it add to your masterpiece. Your curses can become assets with some honing. So, keep fucking going. Don’t give up - just stay calm + redirect that ene...

this is the final episode in the anchor series - in which we can train ourselves to crave the kibble whenever we hear the bell, just like Pavlov's pup. create a soundtrack or jingles to trigger workout or bedtime or cleaning or work mode. Manifest good feeling associations. increase your reinforcement to improve the strength of the path vibe with what ritual you already have in place. be patient +...

tune into what your natural anchors + coinciding cravings are. how many of them are intentional? proactive? positive? can any of those natural anchors be honed to improve your quality of life?

Keeping boundaries with ourselves is CRUCIAL to keeping us happy + safe + productive humans, but bear in mind when things are beneficial regulations meant to enhance your life + experience + the connection with those around you OR if those regulations are more like Constraints that you feel bound to and guilty + shamed about fucking up on. Challenge your self imposed rules + regulations once in a...

Internal restrictions can be critical boundaries with ourselves, but they are also easy to fall victimized + become restricted by. We want to check in with our subconscious restrictive thought patterns so we don't become constrained by our internal regulation system - and we can continue to feel guided by it, instead.

Embrace the power of the clean slate - whatever that means to you at this stage in your life. if that means trashing the first attempt, revamping the whole thing, imploding what you thought you knew, donating some old memories, cleaning out your HD, rewriting a first draft, taking time off of a relationship, taking a step back from a job, taking a vacation - whatever you need to do to get a fresh...

It's true. I got the plague + boy it kicked my ass - but the surprising part was NOT the ass kicking. It was the shame. I felt so much shame. Why? I did everything "right" and it didn't matter. Notice the quotes. This shit is a nightmare - there's no moral highground (unless you're deliberating being irresponsible, of course) here as long as you're trying. The shame came from the fact that I didn'...

Social Interactions can be draining. Here's how to prepare: Take a friend-ventory. Know what friends you need more rest before seeing, or prefer in small groups. Note when you don't vibe with a venue or a group rather than an individual. Plan for recovery time, stretch breaks, bail out strategies, and other things you can do to parse out your experience with overwhelming stimulus. Sometimes, all w...

Sensory fatigue: When your brain feels overstimulated with sensory inputs such as noise, lights, visual stimulation, sounds, conversation, etc. We all experience sensory needs + I truly believe we’ve all experienced certain levels of sensory overstimulation in some capacity. Like with everything else in life, everyone of us beautiful humans is unique, which means our triggers are gonna be unique,...

stop trying so damned hard + it'll happen. confidence comes from making the choices from your most internally aware self. give the external world some time to catch up.

"in coping with manipulation, it’s best to follow four basic principles: Know your rights and your limits; set clear, appropriate boundaries in a respectful and neutral way; recognize and avoid the other person’s efforts to escalate the conflict or muddy the issue; and always make sure to protect your own safety."

Negging (derived from the verb neg, meaning "negative feedback") is an act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or otherwise flirtatious remark to another person to undermine their confidence and increase their need of the manipulator's approval.

Lovebombing: A common manipulation technique is love bombing: "Love bombing" refers to behavior patterns where, at the beginning of the relationship, a partner showers the other with over-the-top attention, gifts, affection, etc. See: Kanye West's truckload of roses gesture... https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/love-bombing : " Genuine affection is mutual and should unfold at a pace that is...

gaslighting: manipulating (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity.  Maybe by: telling blatant lies, deny everything despite proof, make you question your reality, blackmail you, wear you down over time, gain your confidence + confuse you with infrequent rewards, project their shit onto you, try to align others against ya, make you feel or call you crazy or a liar. Noti...

trying to control and manage someone else's journey + struggle may feel like a way to show love, but it's really a way to take a piece of their experience away from them. struggle = potential to learn and grow. and unfortunately we can't grow without it.

we hate overthinkin' until it pays off. make em pay off by learning to hone your bad habits (in order to properly serve you instead of bogging ya down) because you're valid for being afraid - fear is a signal shit needs to change - but don't get caught up in the emotional side of it, insteaed start making the changes it's gonna take to make a difference.

PART TWO - please listen to yesterday's episode before beginning this one. You are responsible for  everything  that has happened to you in you’re life. You get robbed? Whether you hand your purse over, or run, or choose to do nothing. You are responsible for it. You may not be to  blame  for the robbery but you are burdened with the responsibilities of the repurcussions. That’...
