You're listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brooke Castillo, episode number 534.
2
Welcome to part two of being a badass.
3
In this segment, we are going to talk about the obstacles.
4
Now to review, in part one,
5
we talked about what being a badass is and my definition and the components that I include in defining badassery.
6
And just to review, they were having an incredible work ethic and having mental fortitude, mental toughness.
7
And so as we go into this episode, I want to talk about all of the things
8
that can get in the way of you achieving the level of being a badass
9
that you're going to need to achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve.
10
So when you think about the obstacles, to just keep it really simple, if you're not getting the results that you want in your life,
11
it is most likely because you don't have the skill of a work ethic that produces results,
12
either positive or negative, and you probably don't have the mental toughness
13
that you're going to need to be resilient enough to get there.
14
Now, one of the things that I talk about a lot is
15
that being able to define a problem clearly is the only way that you'll ever be able to solve it.
16
And you want to be able to define a problem where you are responsible for that problem.
17
Because when you're responsible for causing the problem and being the problem, then you have 100 % agency in solving it.
18
And this is the most important thing that I can tell you.
19
And as we move into the next episode, we talk more about tools, I'll elaborate on this.
20
But it's important to understand that when you define the problem, and you define the obstacles, then you can define the solution.
21
And you don't have to change anybody else.
22
You don't have to change the world.
23
You don't have to fix anything outside of you.
24
You can manage all of it.
25
So in this episode, I'm going to be talking a lot about things that you are responsible for and you can control.
26
And when I do this with my clients, students, friends, employees, it's very confronting.
27
I know this because I do it with myself on the regular.
28
And I just want to invite you to allow yourself to be confronted without being defensive just for this next 30 minutes,
29
just allow yourself to consider.
30
Because I think what happens a lot of times if I say, hey, this is your responsibility, this is your fault that this isn't working.
31
Our initial reaction is to defend and to block that information because it doesn't feel great.
32
And when you block it and when you defend against it,
33
you miss the opportunity to change it doesn't mean that you have to continue to believe it,
34
but I always really want to invite you to just consider the possibility that if you accept responsibility for everything,
35
then you have the power to change everything.
36
And it's a lot more challenging than it sounds, but we're gonna go on a journey today and we're going to explore it.
37
So there's a couple things I wanna start with.
38
First, the main obstacle to any kind of extraordinary success is always going to be your humanness,
39
which means the way that your brain was designed and has evolved works against you being extraordinary,
40
works against you being a badass in many ways to review the motivational triad,
41
the way that your brain has set you up to survive is to conserve your energy,
42
is to avoid pain at any cost and to seek pleasure.
43
And in the early days of humanness, this is what evolved us.
44
This is what got us to the finish line of survival.
45
And now that we live with all the creature comforts that we have created for ourselves, the motivational triad is still alive and well,
46
and it is debilitating in many ways.
47
Because in order to become extraordinary now, you have to overcome your own motivational triad.
48
You have to seek discomfort.
49
You have to overcome the desire for instant gratification and pleasure.
50
And you have to exert a lot of energy in the smartest of ways in order to create the results
51
that you want.
52
So That's kind of a bummer, right?
53
It's like we are set up not to be badasses by our own brains.
54
But when you know this, you also know that there is a part of your brain,
55
the newest part of your brain that can overcome this obstacle.
56
And when you do overcome this obstacle, you will be able to create way beyond what you ever maybe have imagined,
57
and also way beyond maybe something that's ever been created before.
58
That's what to be on the edge of evolution really is, to be on the forefront of creation.
59
So in order to do this, I've taught you all that it's really important to have goals that are big enough.
60
So one of the first obstacles
61
that I'm going to present to you is many of you do not have goals
62
that require you to develop your mental fortitude or your work ethic.
63
You don't want to present yourself with a goal that you could possibly fail at achieving.
64
And therefore, you set goals that don't push you cognitively, emotionally, or mentally.
65
And they don't require you to work as hard as you're going to need to work in order to increase your capacity.
66
And so that would be the first and foremost issue.
67
Bad ass people have bad ass goals.
68
They have impressive goals that are scary, that are extraordinary, that are extra, as my kids would say, right?
69
They're over the top.
70
They seem crazy.
71
But as you may have seen me do in my own life is when you set big,
72
huge goals, the goal can start to define you even before you've achieved it.
73
And that is really important because if you're setting really small goals, you are defining yourself by a very small goal,
74
by a very easy accomplishment.
75
And you know it's easy for you.
76
And then when you don't, or if you don't accomplish that goal, that is so defeating versus having a goal that maybe you fail at,
77
but you know that you're going to fail at it because it's such a big goal that it requires failure.
78
And the more you fail, the more you produce results, the more you learn, the stronger you get, the better your work ethic.
79
Because when you go out there into the world
80
and you try to achieve something and it doesn't work and you don't create the result that you want,
81
that's when you double down on your effort and you do it again
82
and you do it again and you do it again.
83
And then eventually you produce a result with ease that once was seemingly impossible.
84
That's badassery.
85
That's how you become a badass.
86
So I would say that the motivational triad
87
and small goals are the first major obstacles
88
that you're going to run into between where you are now and being the badass that you ultimately want to be.
89
The next one I would say is fragility.
90
And I highly recommend that you look up on my podcast, Anti -Fragile.
91
I did a podcast on being anti -fragile
92
and it is one of the most important podcasts
93
that you can listen to because it is a trend right now from what I can see.
94
And I see a lot, right?
95
I see a lot of students,
96
a lot of employees, a lot of clients presenting with a level of fragility that is defeating them, right?
97
It is hurting them.
98
And what being fragile or anti -fragile means is that when you face a trauma or a challenge in your life,
99
that is an opportunity.
100
You get broken down by it.
101
It's an opportunity to rebuild and make yourself stronger in those broken places.
102
If you aren't putting yourself out there to expose your fragility, you can never become stronger.
103
You can never become antifragile.
104
If you're not willing to break down the muscle, there's no way for us to build it bigger.
105
And as human beings, it is our nature to become stronger as we face challenges.
106
And so if you are avoiding challenges,
107
hiding from challenges, or becoming completely incapacitated or defeated by every single thing that happens to you out there in the world,
108
it's going to be very difficult for you to create what you want in the world.
109
And so I'm going to talk about it in the next podcast, but becoming and embracing your anti -fragility and using your obstacles
110
and using your traumas and using your mistakes
111
and your failures to make yourself stronger is that secret path to creating mental strength and an incredible work ethic.
112
Fragility weakens us, right?
113
And you'll know that you're doing it.
114
if you are constantly making excuses.
115
Okay?
116
So look at your life honestly.
117
Explore your challenges honestly.
118
If you're constantly coming up with excuses as to why you are exhausted
119
or overwhelmed or need healing or unable to move forward,
120
you're probably, you know, identifying as fragile and really embracing victimhood.
121
And that's just not going to work.
122
It's just not going to work in terms of creating fortitude in your life.
123
Okay.
124
The second one, this is a huge one.
125
If you're anything like me, I call approval whoring.
126
We are constantly seeking approval.
127
And when you are seeking approval or applause and you're following the compliments and you're following approval of others,
128
the delight of others at your own expense, you will never create authentic success.
129
You will never become the badass that you can become
130
because you'll get locked in between people pleasing and perfection
131
because you'll want to create something that everyone can approve of and you'll want to please all the people.
132
So you will start adjusting yourself to the applause, to the approval of strangers, to the approval of people you don't even respect,
133
to the approval of people you don't even want to be like, to the approval of people who are negative
134
and really trying to prevent anyone from getting upset and really trying to prevent anyone from saying something negative.
135
Think about this for a minute.
136
I see this constantly.
137
There's a group of people that you don't respect, that you don't admire, that you would never trade places with
138
that you don't think they have the work ethic that's required of the mental fortitude.
139
And they're maybe not approving of you.
140
And you can spend, people spend entire lifetimes trying to win over people that don't approve of them.
141
And maybe it's just a family member, right?
142
Maybe it's like, I just want her to approve of me, my mother, my father, my sister,
143
my husband, my wife, if I could just get them to approve.
144
But when you look at what they're doing,
145
which is making excuses or being negative towards you maybe and not giving you the approval that you want,
146
it doesn't make any sense that we're spending time trying to get their approval.
147
And listen, I have done it.
148
I have played that game for so many years of my life,
149
trying to be the person I thought other people wanted me to be so many different people in my life.
150
And even when I do it really well, I still don't have their approval because their approval isn't about me.
151
It's about them.
152
Them approving is about them and their thinking.
153
It has nothing to do with me.
154
So I can bend over backwards trying to please people.
155
And that shit just doesn't work when it's coming from a place of insecurity and needing approval.
156
So that is one of the biggest obstacles
157
that you're going to have to overcome if you want to have a badass result.
158
The third one is drama, creating drama and seeking drama.
159
All I'm going to say about that is you have to stop.
160
You have to stop creating drama where there is none, overreacting to stuff, overwhelming to things, making things bigger than they are,
161
creating scenarios that are factually benign,
162
but our brain is dramatizing them in a way that we can't even function beyond them.
163
So it is important.
164
If you are someone that has a lot of drama in your life, you are probably participating and creating it by the way you're reacting.
165
It doesn't mean that other people aren't bringing drama, but if you ignore it, if you don't engage in it, it doesn't affect you.
166
If you get ignited by it and you want to participate in it as a distraction, it will derail you from becoming stronger.
167
Drama will weaken you.
168
It's a very low level, low energy game.
169
And I see this happen with negativity bonding.
170
I see a lot of people who want to feel connected, who want to feel part of community,
171
who want to feel righteous and they want to be right.
172
And so they get with a bunch of other people and they're all negative together and it creates so much drama, right?
173
But it also produces this unbelievable dopamine pleasure too.
174
So it's like, it doesn't feel negative.
175
It feels good.
176
It feels righteous.
177
It feels important, but it's not.
178
And it could be gossip about someone, maybe a family member.
179
It could be gossip about a celebrity.
180
You get involved in it and it has no productive purpose.
181
It's not constructive.
182
It's not useful.
183
It's not making you grow.
184
It is just sucking the energy out of you.
185
So you have to be honest with yourself.
186
Am I engaging in drama?
187
Do I want the gossip?
188
Do I want the scoop?
189
Do I want to perpetuate it and spread it?
190
And if you are that, just notice how much energy that's taking away from building your mental fortitude
191
and building whatever it is you're trying to create in the world.
192
The last one here is righteousness.
193
And righteousness is trouble when it comes to trying to be a badass, because you see the world as right and wrong.
194
And there's a lot of blaming that will happen.
195
Because if you see the world as right or wrong, you're always going to want to be right.
196
And you're always going to want to be on the side of good.
197
And that's impossible because you're a human being.
198
Sometimes you're going to be wrong.
199
Sometimes you're going to make mistakes.
200
Sometimes you're going to do something negative and bad that you're going to feel bad about.
201
And that's part of being human.
202
And if you're always trying to be right, and you're always trying to be like, I'm a good guy, and I'm on the right side,
203
you're always going to have to be putting down the people that are wrong and bad in your eyes.
204
And that amount of energy is wasted.
205
Because no one is all right and all wrong.
206
No one is all good and all bad.
207
And there are degrees of it.
208
And if you reject or become defensive over everything that you do wrong,
209
or you push away any kind of feedback about who you really could be inside of you because you're a human being,
210
you will have a very difficult time moving forward
211
because you'll always be trying to hide the fear of being exposed as the human being that you are,
212
which is fallible, which is dumb in some ways, which is bad and negative in some ways.
213
If you're always trying to hide from that part of you,
214
you're not going to be able to embrace the authenticity that will create the results that you want in the world.
215
So be open to all of it.
216
I really learned this from Byron Katie when she would ask that question to any kind of judgment against you, is it true?
217
And she would suggests that we can always find a grain of truth in every single thing someone says about us.
218
And the first act of defense is actually war.
219
It changed my life.
220
So when people say things to me, God, you're such a bitch.
221
I'm like, yes.
222
God, you're so nice.
223
Yes.
224
God, you're so weak.
225
Yes.
226
You're so smart.
227
Yes.
228
You're so dumb.
229
Yes.
230
Say yes to all of it.
231
Then there's nothing to defend against.
232
There's no energy to push against.
233
It's all true.
234
We can all be some degree of everything.
235
And so what?
236
Carry on.
237
Utilize what works for you.
238
Accept who you are as a human being and that the world's supposed to be good and bad, clearly because it is.
239
And how do we work within that?
240
How do we work within all of the facets that we are, all of the mistakes that we make, all the failures that we have.
241
It doesn't mean that we're bad.
242
It doesn't mean that we're wrong.
243
It simply means that we're human and we're on this journey to badassery.
244
And you can be a badass and make mistakes.
245
You can be a badass and fail.
246
In fact, I think it's impossible to be a badass and not fail.
247
Impossible.
248
So what if you embraced all of that and released your righteousness?
249
Stop trying to be right all the time
250
and point out everyone else's flaws and how everyone else is less than you and that you're the good one.
251
The problem is we are socialized to do that.
252
We internalize that type of all or nothing thinking.
253
And it's going to be very difficult for you to create at the level
254
that you might want to create if you're stuck in that righteousness,
255
because you're going to be terrified of doing anything that might be considered as wrong.
256
You're going to be terrified of making any kind of mistake and that just doesn't work in terms of being extraordinary.
257
So when you look at your life and you look at your emotional life,
258
one of the biggest obstacles that I see for people is the avoidance of negative emotion, the rejection of negative emotion,
259
and the buffering of negative emotion.
260
So as you set big goals, you're inviting a lot of negative emotion.
261
You're inviting a lot of fear, you're inviting doubt, you're inviting embarrassment, you're inviting humiliation, you're inviting everything that comes along with failing your way forward.
262
And when those emotions come, you have to utilize negative emotion in order to strengthen yourself emotionally.
263
Negative emotion is an opportunity for you to process and become stronger.
264
And the reason you become stronger is if you aren't afraid.
265
to experience any negative emotion, you will lose the fear of fear, the fear of negative emotion.
266
And when you don't have any fear of negative emotion, you will catapult your life because it won't hold you back.
267
And the way that you overcome the fear of feeling is by feeling, period.
268
So when an emotion comes, instead of drinking or eating or going on social media to avoid that feeling,
269
you actually invite it in and you process it through, you digest it, you feel it and you see that you don't die.
270
And you see that it actually passes.
271
And you learn from it and you grow from it.
272
And then the next time it comes, you're already ready for it.
273
You're already stronger because of it.
274
You already used to, hey, this kind of stuff happens where I have thoughts some feelings that feel terrible and I can handle them.
275
And you start anticipating ahead of time, oh, hey, this is probably going to be very scary to do this,
276
putting myself out there, being on the internet, writing an article, writing a book, coaching a client, investing my money,
277
whatever it is you want to do.
278
And I'm ready for that fear and I can manage it.
279
I'm not going to let it affect my behavior because weak emotional management leads to weak behavior.
280
And if you have weak behavior, you're never going to be able to produce results.
281
You'll run around doing busy work trying to hide from all of your emotions
282
and you'll call it work and then it won't work.
283
And then you'll make excuses and then you'll blame other people.
284
It's a pattern.
285
I see it in everyone that I work with.
286
I have it in myself.
287
But if you're aware of it, if you're aware that the way that I am stopped is always by my emotions
288
and the way that I keep going is always by strengthening my ability to process and overcome those emotions.
289
That is the secret.
290
How much negativity you experience from your own brain will be dependent on how many huge goals you have, right?
291
Fear, doubt, insecurity, it's all going to come up.
292
Guaranteed if your goals are big enough, that's what's going to happen.
293
But you can utilize it to make you stronger.
294
The biggest obstacle is when those big emotions come up and you use it to make yourself weaker,
295
more righteous, more approval seeking, more blaming, more fragile.
296
We want to use those emotions to make ourselves stronger.
297
I'm going to do a whole separate podcast on this, but I'll touch on it briefly here.
298
There's a huge difference between self -love and self -coddling.
299
And what I see is a lot of people coddling themselves and that's weakening them.
300
Because if every time I have a negative emotion,
301
I need a week off and I need to rest and I need to heal from these terrible, awful, scary emotions that I'm having,
302
I'm going to perpetuate the idea that I'm not strong enough to handle life, that I'm not strong enough to create amazing things,
303
that I'm not strong enough to overcome my own primal survival brain.
304
And the more I perpetuate it, the more that that will be true.
305
And so self -coddling really creates a lot of behavior weakness where you're not managing dread well.
306
And work ethic, having a strong work ethic is really about how much dread you can handle, how much you can actually obey yourself,
307
how you can create the inertia that you need to overcome your desire to conserve energy.
308
And that's going to require you to go to work.
309
But it's not the kind of work where you're forcing yourself and you're overworking.
310
It's the kind of work where you access your power of fortitude to be able to manage your emotional life.
311
So when you're able to define and own your own problems,
312
you will see that the biggest obstacle that relates to everything here is a mismanaged mind.
313
If you are not managing your mind, you will have all of these negative emotions
314
and you will have all of these negative thoughts that create them and they will just be running in the background.
315
And when you see other people that mirror that negativity, you're going to be delighted and you're going to want to spend time with them
316
and you're going to want to perpetuate it.
317
And you won't even realize that you're doing it.
318
You'd be like, why do I feel so good with Jenny?
319
Because Jenny hates this as much as I do.
320
And Jenny agrees that this is too hard and agrees that this isn't a good idea and agrees that,
321
you know, we need more rest and relaxation and healing and escapism.
322
Or I want to hang out with this person
323
because they like to overeat and they like to overdrink and they like to party.
324
And that's a nice escape for me.
325
And you won't even realize how much drama and negativity you're creating without even knowing it.
326
And so when you look at your life honestly, and you look at everything that I've talked about here, all the obstacles that I've listed here,
327
you will for sure find yourself in them.
328
You will know, yeah, I do do that.
329
And I am doing this.
330
And I want you to not use that against yourself, but use that for yourself.
331
Hey, what would it be like if I didn't seek out drama?
332
I didn't seek out approval.
333
I didn't use circumstances and situations and my past to weaken myself.
334
And instead, I used it to strengthen myself and grow myself.
335
And I used all of the weights in my life as the metaphor is all the weights in the gym
336
that I had to lift to make myself stronger and to make myself work harder and smarter and produce results.
337
The goal is to produce as many results as you can.
338
Half of them will be terrible
339
and you will use those terrible results as an opportunity to strengthen your emotional and cognitive life and to go again.
340
That's as simple as it is.
341
You're either going to use your failures to weaken you or your failures to strengthen you.
342
Anti -fragility means you use your failures to strengthen you.
343
Okay?
344
If you need a metaphor for this, picture the little kid learning how to walk.
345
The only way they ever learn how to walk is by failing a thousand times.
346
The failures, the falls is what makes them strong because they have to get up.
347
And if they just give up and sit on the ground, they'll never learn to walk because they'll never get the strength that they need.
348
So you know in your deepest knowing if you are doing this to yourself.
349
And if you really want to see how badass you really are,
350
we're going to give you tools in the next episode to overcome all of these habitual patterns, all of these obstacles.
351
And if you apply those tools and you're consistent with them
352
and you get feedback
353
and you look at your life from the perspective of a playground where you're learning how to walk
354
and it requires you to fail, you're not going to be great on the first time on the jungle gym, right?
355
You're going to have to learn how to do it.
356
Then you can create the most badass results
357

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
