Stop Consuming Self-Help, Start Training Your Brain

The only way to see results is to treat self-improvement like a physical workout – with focused effort and dedicated reps.

I see a lot of self-help shit on here.

I have absolutely nothing against it.

Some of you assholes get out of here and talk shit about self-help like we're all fake gurus or we have some sort of like mal-intention for wanting to get paid for helping people where they need it.

Although I don't see any of you complaining about McDonald's getting everybody fat and giving them cancer but that's another story.

One thing I do want to emphasize... reemphasize... possibly over emphasize... is that self-help is a practice and must be put into action.

And I don't mean the kind of action where you use it in a real life scenario maybe with your mother… maybe with a boss… maybe with pushy friend.

What I mean, is that you need to go to the gym.

Whenever you want to get off your ass and gain some muscle and burn some fat where do you go?

The gym.

But when it comes to self-help, YOU don't go to the gym.

Reps are the key to your self-help actually working.

Whether you learn what I teach, or you read a good old-fashioned Tony Robbins book, you aren't going to get shit out of self-help if you don't purposefully practice a couple times a day.

This is especially when your mind is way off - feeling weak - feeling anxiety, stress, or depression.

All that anxiety - all that pain in your mind and cloudiness in your mind - is basically weakness and fat that need to be converted into muscle and lean body mass.

But you don't get it by just looking at the gym.

You don't get it by regurgitating how to build muscle to your buddy telling them that curls are great, or deep-seated squats are game changing.

You do it by going to the gym and hitting high repetitions.

You also do it by hitting intense or heavy repetitions.

And in the game of self-help, you can do low weight / high repetitions by facing the small shadows … the things that annoy you.

The look somebody gave you across the street that bothered you or your coworkers shitty tone of voice.

You can practice the high weight / low rep sets by diving deep and looking at the issues in your shadow that really drive you insane.

A huge blowout fight with your parents.

Your wife or girlfriend saying snide comments to get under your skin.

Your boss sexually harassing you or throwing threats at you.

But either way, you need reps.

If you don't practice in the gym, when it's time to really lift something, you will get strained... You will be broken.. You will fail.

I really have no details that I want to give you right now because you're not my student.

You can change that by signing up.

But should you decide not to sign up, take whatever book you have...

Whatever methodology you prefer...

And figure out a way to do reps.

Because, anything else is just illusion.
