Goggins language cheapens the message

@HealthspanHandyman 3 місяці тому

@ally2ava There's always one lmao. He has explained and responded to this countless times, including in this podcast episode. Listen to those more so than my own framing, but basically...Excessive attention to filtering himself would subtract from and thus effectively cheapen the message because THAT would inhibit vocalization of the raw truth of the cost and process behind that which the podcast and inquiry centers on here. Focus is on the reality and relaying that, full stop. Interjecting a priority of 'OK, but no curse words!' - would potentially compromise that to some (slight or more) degree. No matter how infinitesimal the degree, Goggins is not the type to compromise the truth of his experience, process, path, associated cost of that ("what it took/takes"), etc. and this ironically is _augmented_ by the fact he wants it to be as helpful to others as practically possible and, probabilistically, a key component to ensuring that is to AVOID filtering the raw signal from its source so to speak. Anyway, difficult to explain off the cuff in text but again he himself has addressed this so many, many times. Besides, with all the actual threats, travesties, harms and everything we bring upon ourselves and which external life exposes us to, I can never understand why vocal symbols like curse _words_ are allegedly so 'heinous' to some people. Like, c'mon How about you demonstrate something like he has and communicate it better without feeling like you're compromising integrity and axiological emphasis of what is being expressed 👌🏼

I find that practicing mindfulness to turn the sucky stuff into a playful creative Joy eventually makes the crappy stuff less than crappy and sometimes it can become fun. Adding this additional mindful layer can really create profound healing results an improvements in the process of becoming whole and healthy. We can change our emotional relationship to almost anything with consistent practice of the right combined body and mind techniques

By far one of your best podcasts, in my modest opinion. What separates David from the crowd is he is REAL - truth bombs exploding everywhere. As a 59 year old single mom who suffers from chronic pain (car accident) with four grown children, his words truly hit home. I get out of bed every damn morning at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="375">6:15</a> am and go to my day job even though I don't truly enjoy it, but it pays our bills. I come home, shop, cook healthy meals, workout a little, walk my dog, do some more chores then hit the bed early so I can get up, rinse and repeat. I enjoy my weekends with friends and family but most of my time is spent doing. I have been like this my entire life - always just putting one foot in front of the other, day by day. Thanks Andrew.

This is amazing, to hear about the anterior mid-cingulate cortex. I suffered with severe depression for a few years after my parent’s death , desperate, a good friend of mine told me, you have to do exactly the opposite of what your brain (negative voice), is telling you to do. And so, I began doing it, the opposite: getting out of my bed, going outside, working out, working, eating healthy enough, spending time with people… without even noticing, a few months later , I was slowly going back to being myself. Without medication 💊 I still feel the sadness that caused my depression but decided to go live life . Great episode . Digging deeper with the footnotes. I am not going back to depression .

Notes: - Anterior midcingulate cortex = will to life / willpower - If you do things you hate, the anterior midcingulate cortex will grow, if you like hard things it wont grow - Example 1: If you dont want to go in an ice bath for 10 minutes and still do it, it will gow - Example 2: If you LIKE training to failure or like forced reps and do them, it wont grow - You have to not like it, anything you like to do, will not enhance your willpower - "I'ts the 'suck' part that grows the anterior midcingulate cortex"

@jaxonschlutz1279 3 місяці тому

this is very key information and I think that self discipline is the ground work to success but personally I think that you should still try to enjoy the hard things you do every day as much as you can to maintain a positive mental frame work. Because lets be real, even if you try to enjoy the hard things you're still not actually going to truly enjoy them. I guess all im trying to say is that if you want to add more suck into your life for extra will power do it by adding in additional things that you dont want to do or by physically making the tasks you currently do harder, not by restructuring your mental frame work to hate every single hard thing you do during the day. try your hardest to love and enjoy every single thing you do, and once you do love everything you do take that as the indicator to increase the difficulty. progressively over load and stay hard.

My eyes welled up a little bit listening to this. Most of my 50 year life has been about the avoidance of doing the things that I *need* to do, but don't want to. I instead had settled snugly into my comfort zone: alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, video games, etc It has only been in recent years that I've learned to understand that, for a better life, you *must* get comfortable doing uncomfortable things. To learn a new skill takes practice. And 'willpower' is simply just a skill. So practice it and it will get better. Edit: *THESE* are the things we should be teaching our children. Inflation keeps us too busy to do so, and our education system is little more than an indoctrination system. Combine the two and it's little wonder we are churning out so many depressed, medicated, fat, no-purpose adults.

I am coming to understand that societal conditioning and my own perceptions of life has erroneously formed these opinions. this gives me hope that, more than the accomplishments, is that there is physical proof in the brain that doing difficult things actually works! It’s not just powering through in life. We don’t have to believe that we’re lazy or useless or less than. We’re not doomed to stay in our thoughts and/ or current state! We now know that it is likened to a muscle that needs to be worked and that it takes time to build this! Thank you both for this truth that all of humanity can benefit! Thank you, God and the universe!🙌🏼

No lie, my discipline was next level thanks to by grandma and the hell she put me through and all the bullies at school. Telling me to off myself and stuff was hardening. I got a little weak after she passed and i grew up and wanted to relax. Thanks for the reminder.

Haven’t finished the full episode yet but did listen to this portion and so far it’s the best part. As someone who went through a bad case of shingles then cancer what he saying is understood completely. When you have those things you can’t do what you’re told partially or one day not the other. You do exactly what you’re supposed to or advised to get past these diseases and then what you’re advised to never have to go through them again. Your choices are either A) do what’s needed to be healthy - diet, exercise, lifestyle or B) go through this again in the future. As he said there’s no motivation, self discipline, etc. it’s just donut or don’t. Fail or not. 🎯

Great topic. I have always had a fascination with neuroscience, and this one of those topics that has always been the highest on my list of interest with regards to neuroscience. I learned many years ago to embrace the stuff that I hate and don't want to do. It truly changed my life when I did so. This puts context to all of that, and I appreciate the breakdown.

This portion of the full show was my favorite and had so many "ah ha moments" on motivation and general life lessons. This can be applied at school, in the gym or at the workplace. Ultimately, in my mind, doing hard things by design can change the self perception from being rudderless to meaningful.

@kristinayager3791 3 місяці тому

When I was a teenager I had an eating disorder. I’m certainly not endorsing an eating disorder, but it’s fascinating because my will to resist eating for days on end no doubt activated my anterior mid singular cortex. This experience has in part helped to shape and form the self-discipline I developed to achieve things in life. As I grow older and seek to control other things in my life as an adult, the first thing I do is control my food intake - this will jump start my overall self control. I’m sure there’s a study or paper that digs into behaviors like this, but as a human living with this experience, it becomes a philosophical pursuit: like anything in life, we all have these drives, and they can be used to help us or harm us, or it can be balanced with time and maturity. Seriously Interesting 🧐

That first part of the video was amazing. You could tell the more Huberman kept explaining the anterior mid singular cortex goggins started to realise where it was heading and how I proves everything he is about and is doing as correct. When he said it's more to do with the will to live. David said now we're talking. Wow! Powerful stuff

@suicideiscla55ic 3 місяці тому

An important distinction to add is that you have to DO something that you don’t want to do, NOT have something DONE to you that you don’t want. In a weird way, it’s like how actively choosing to engage in something you fear, etc. will help you to grow whereas those things that just happen to you could cause trauma.

@Android-Zen 3 місяці тому

It’s counterintuitive, but I’m happiest in my life when I’m consistently doing things that I don’t want to do. Lately I’ve gravitated towards the familiarity of comfort and I’ve been miserable, in spite of making more money than I ever have, and being able to afford some of the things I always wanted. I think back when I was a broke college student working out over 1 hr a day and actively doing things I hate (reading fiction books, waking up early, etc) I felt untouchable and a profound sense of self accomplishment. Back to the grind.

Good to hear this. For years I believed that, most of the time, we know what we need to do, but we don't like or want to do that one thing, so we spend a lot of time and money looking for the work-around or "hack". Thanks for the dose of reality.

Hey Andrew! first of all, thank you very much for this clip with David. Every minute is pure gold! My question is, beyond strengthening willpower, which is no a small thing, what are the main benefits to the body or mind of enlarging the anterior midcingulate cortex? are there any biological benefits? My sincere greetings from Argentina!

@AmarrahSingerSongwriter 3 місяці тому

A few yrs ago I reflected on my life about when my willpower was the strongest and realized it’s when I was in the best shape of my life while tree planting. Ppl were surprised that I did it for 4 yrs and I always replied that I was just really good at forcing myself to do things I hated. I equated my willpower with being in great physical shape and now this interview has given me further insight. Very interesting stuff guys!

@garkeiner2342 3 місяці тому

Thanks so much for this podcast! The only thing I wonder is about when and how much to do hard things. Doing and overcoming "something" hard every day should be a constant, of course. I've had many teachers who were (almost) as intense as David and somehow I was always quick to adopt everything. So much so I feel bad if I do anything which feels good, mentally or physically. That made me run myself into the ground regularly to the point of being worse at many things in life, including my job and including social connections since those are things I like, so i spent all my resources on voluntary suffering, avoiding social life because it feels good and having little cognitive resources left for work. To this day I couldn't really get rid of this habit and while I might constantly train my "will power", challenging and growing myself physically and intellectually, I feel like I've trained myself to avoid anything that should make life worth living.

@lyndseygolden7546 3 місяці тому

I’m curious if grief and facing those things has different brain chemistry. Waking up to obstruction and hard that never ends is a great way to want your life to be shorter and it’s hard enough to live that just creating a want to continue to be alive becomes far more important than an identity.
