Is your mindset like this yet?
Good morning, I'm back on my microphone, so this should be crispier. I got a blocked nose, so I sound a bit like a don't know what actually, but not the best. But, yeah, we will we'll go for it. I'll do it until I pass out because I can't breathe. But first things first.
Speaker 1:First things first. This voice note again, we need to talk about the basics, but also remind us for you guys. We speak in the radio quite often of stress eating, comfort eating, binge eating. Right? We speak about honest tracking.
Speaker 1:We speak about all these sorts of things that aren't exactly like eat more protein because of x or eat more carbs or fat because of x because those things, whilst they're important, they're not the primary thing to to focus on because, like, you can know all the knowledge you want. You can know you need to be in a deficit. You can know you need to hit more protein. Right? But that you might not be able to get that because of multitude of roadblocks.
Speaker 1:Now there's a lot of people these days on tik Tok mainly who say eat less, move more. There's all there is to it. Idiots. The analogy I would like to bring to this, again, let's go extreme here, is we've got me and my warriors from Wales, my army, and we've the English side, the English warriors over there. And I'm telling my Welsh super soldiers, we've got to take that castle, boys.
Speaker 1:And all you need to do is kill more Englishmen than Welshmen die. That's all we gotta do. Gotta kill more English. Right? More deaths their side than our side.
Speaker 1:That's it. And it's like the the soldiers going, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We get that.
Speaker 1:Like, obviously. But how? So, yeah. I don't know how. We'll just fucking that's all you need to know, boys.
Speaker 1:Kill more them than they kill of us. Yeah. Yeah. Boss, the strategy, are we going all in with a are we going in? Do we need artillery?
Speaker 1:Are we got snipers going on? Are we going in quick on the sides? Are we gonna flank? What are we gonna do? No.
Speaker 1:No. No. No. Don't worry about that. Just just just just just kill more of them.
Speaker 1:You know, that's kind what people are saying in regards to the seedless move more. There's no strategy involved. Right? Absolutely no strategy involved because you know why these coaches say these things. The reason they don't want to go deeper is because they literally do not want to help people deploy your strategy because that's the toughest part of the entire process.
Speaker 1:By far helping you guys day in day out. Turtle radio, Facebook comments, Facebook lives, creating plans, trying different things, creating an app, making tweaks based of your feature request and how it will make it easier for you. Education mixed with motivation, mixed with accountability, mixed with in person events, like all this stuff that the strategy, all us combined gets you to this deficit over time, Right? But it's such a tough task, a very tough task, and these coaches don't wanna do that tough part. They wanna get paid for just saying that.
Speaker 1:Right? There's this guy in TikTok, these two kids in TikTok who were making a lot of money selling plans. I bought one of their plans, £20 fat loss plan. It was a PDF with, four paragraphs, and all it said was don't eat only eat unprocessed foods, don't eat any foods that come in plastic wrap them and drink a lot of water for fat loss and something else. I was like someone's paying for that because that guy's got abs thinking that's it.
Speaker 1:That's all they need to know. And then what happens is they try and deploy that strategy or whatever that the terrible strategy is or that information, it doesn't work and they blame themselves. Right? Who's at who's at fault when a battle is lost? You know, who is at fault when a football or rugby team loses?
Speaker 1:You know, often people blame the players or the soldiers, but the overriding strategy is vital, like absolutely vital. That's why Napoleon was such a beast, like he would win battles with the with younger soldiers, with more experienced soldiers, because his command, his direction, his strategy was supreme. Right? And he was the best at it no matter what. Some managers can manage any football team and they can get him to win in ways, you know, these famous coaches.
Speaker 1:Right? So there is a huge element strategy and that strategy can come from you yourself as the command center, of course, it can come from us as turtle to help you, you can come from other places, but you have to understand the strategies can have to you have to be able to change, have to be able to adapt, you have to be able to maneuver your strategy over time as well, you can't be fixated on one. You know an example I used on the radio, the resonated Ruby said, you know I explained her tracking life is like sometimes the strategy is I'm gonna track honestly for fourteen days and see how it goes, and you do it for fourteen days, then you have like a week or two where you're not as tracking as much and you'll have four weeks of like tracking 100% honesty and you've got this different waves of tracking, know that might be reality for you. You know there might be where some of you have tried doing three workouts a week but you can't get into a routine so you'd prefer to morning walks every morning so you get your steps in and then you do a few workouts when you can.
Speaker 1:Or some of you prefer to say every morning at six to 7AM is my activity time, it's either I'm doing a workout or I'm doing a walk, you know. Some of you are like it doesn't work for me to put my phone, it doesn't work for me to take my phone into the bedroom. I gotta have an alarm to tell me at 9PM it stays in the kitchen and goes off. You know, there's loads of stuff you need to practice. You are your own commander.
Speaker 1:You are your own scientist. Undivided command. You need to be in you need to be in command. Right? And you can learn we're trying to teach you many strategies.
Speaker 1:We're trying to give you the tools. We've given you the turtle app. That is like the nuclear bomb. That is an that app is phenomenal. That gives you such a head start in this game.
Speaker 1:You know, a huge head start into like what's gonna work. You didn't even need to it's like having guns and machine guns and all this stuff that just shoot and hit the right people at this at the time without you doing much, but just feeding it to all you wanna do. It's kind of like while you're doing the turtle app, you kind of feed it what what it needs, protein calves, fat calories, and give it a few more bits of information, and they will automatically adjust for you. And then you don't have to worry about anything, you know. So think of it that way, and I say, like, think of it like a game of Tetris.
Speaker 1:You know, it is a game at the end of the day, numbers game. This entire thing is a numbers game, and, you should do it with fun more than anything. Do you know what's interesting as well yesterday? I was in the shop. I went to get a fruit, pot thing, and I was and I was walking out.
Speaker 1:And as I was walking out was like 06:30, right, so was a bit busier. I got my phone, would scan the barcode, instantly watched my mind start thinking, oh, shouldn't do this, people people around you, what do they think you're doing? Quick, so fast, so fast, you know, it didn't act on it, didn't put the weight to stop tracking. I'm sure a lot of you feel that in public when you get the food and you want to track it, but the thing is it takes about two or three seconds to get a scan in and it's gonna benefit you. And if you don't do it then, you might forget to do it later.
Speaker 1:But actually, you're just worrying more than people think about you. You're worrying about people saying tracking is obsessive and then it's gonna make you look bad. Think how stupid that is. Right? Think how stupid that is.
Speaker 1:And we've got to be careful as well right so whilst we're using numbers we're using macros, calories or weight those numbers don't measure you psychologically right? Physically they will improve your body because you're measuring them when you can measure it we can improve it. Physical realm and the body happy days. If you bring that internally that these numbers these measures define you psychologically, that's just going to create complete disorder, can be carnage and chaos in your mind. You forcing a measure into how you are psychologically, right, that is the problem to start with completely.
Speaker 1:You're not free in that regard. If you are judging yourself psychologically via numbers, you're not free because someone could say, oh, that's a bit heavyweight or you've been conditioned to think certain dress size is bad or whatever it is. If you've got these measures in place to measure you psychologically, you're never free and those concepts create disorder and the measuring creates a limit into you, who you think you are. Right? Do you see that?
Speaker 1:I don't know if you see it. I see it. And the attempt to measure your worth through these physical numbers. Right? That is potentially the start of all our problems, when it comes to health and fitness.
Speaker 1:Like, your mind goes wild because once you don't see a number on the scales the next day, once you don't hit the perfect macro day, once you don't see someone say that this is good, this is bad, you start feeling your self worth drop. Right? What if you don't have any measure psychologically of how good of a person you are through any number externally, physically? Am I making sense here? So for me no scale number is going to impact me psychologically whilst I'll measure it physically to keep tabs on my weight and my health.
Speaker 1:I'm never going to let that number it's never going to be measured for me psychologically. But for a lot of you, you're putting a lot of psychological identity, lot of that into these physical measures. And that's a problem, guys. It's a big problem. Because I think that, you know, this comes to the next phase of this entire journey is, you can lose all the weight you want.
Speaker 1:You can lose all the weight you want. You can gain all the money you want. You can accumulate all these physical things. And if you are always gonna be comparing if you are always gonna be mistakenly taking the external into the internal, you are measuring you as a psychological person from external things outside the mind, such as body, such as wealth, such as reputation, all this stuff, you're doomed forever, literally doomed forever. And I'm not even that's not an exaggeration because from another story I mentioned before by the book, from the book Psychology of Money, that Indian guy that came from literal slums, huts and all that, became the CEO of McKinsey worth 100,000,000.
Speaker 1:Right? You think someone coming from the slums would be absolutely grateful and couldn't believe his luck to be worth a 100,000,000. They're completely happy, ecstatic, joy, ecstasy. Right? But in fact, he started dining with billionaires who had 10x more than the wealth in him, and then he needed to become a billionaire.
Speaker 1:So he started doing insider trading and he got caught. He got caught. He got to jail. He lost everything just because his measure for success was always externally. That that was his issue.
Speaker 1:Like, even if you become the this person that you never thought you would become, wealth wise or physically physical wise, you can still be tripped up by that. And a lot of you are still gonna be tripped up by that. We need to stop that in its tracks. And I don't know I don't know what the answer is to that. I think being aware of it is a is a is a is a really important step, and I say about this awareness or what this perception or seeing.
Speaker 1:But you might not know that it starts the problem until you see it, So like if you go into a dark room and you're trying to get to the other side and there's loads of stuff blocking you and there's all the lights are off, you know, you're gonna get frustrated, you don't know where you're going, right, you have no idea what the next step should be. But as soon as you turn the lights on and that perception, that seeing, that awareness is on the room and you see the mess and you see exactly where the danger is and you see where you gotta go next, it's clear as day, right? Can we bring that to this part of the to this part of the world, this part of life? Can we shine the light on how we how we are thinking of ourselves psychologically as a person? Can we see what's actually the mess?
Speaker 1:And by seeing this mess, which is we are we are we think our self worth comes from external factors. And you know what? This makes sense. Reading the book of all languages, it makes complete sense how this has developed. We have we started to explain everything internally using the physical world because that's what we could see.
Speaker 1:That's what other people could see. So we started explaining things physically, internally. Right? So we'd say I had a tough week. The week wasn't tough.
Speaker 1:Tough is a physical thing, but you know it's an it's an example of that's tough, so my week was tough, it was hard, it was problematic. You know, we started using these physical words to explain the internal. Right? And whilst that's useful, that's also been a massive problem. And we've done that with with our, say secure we think that accumulation, right, is security in in the physical realm, accumulating a house, maybe like back in the day, a castle, guards, money, weapons, that was a security thing.
Speaker 1:And what we've done now is we brought that internally, and we've started accumulating internally psychologically because we think in us. So we start we start thinking we have to become more and more and more because that more in the physical world is arguably more security. Yeah. Right? And we think it's the same internally, but it's not true.
Speaker 1:That more, that always wanting to be more, more, more, like that guy from India, WK McKinsey, also did more, more, more, more is because you put all the worth in something you could you could measure physically. Right? And that's trying to control that measure caused chaos inside, never happy, always doomed to fail. So it's a very important point to bring across to all of you, right. You're on this journey, you're all doing your best, you're tracking your calories weight and you're doing that to lose body fat.
Speaker 1:You're training, you're tracking your reps and weight, you're measuring these things which is very important in that world to improve. You with me? But we can't bring that to our actual selves to improve our our state, who we think we are. That isn't attached to those things. Because if it is, problems.
Speaker 1:So that means every day, we don't have to be attached to self, it does never have to be attached to any of these external number games we've created as humans. Weight, dress size, money, status. We don't have we can be free from that. So every day you're free from that. You do exactly what you need to do, which is this awareness day to day of what you're watching your mind, you know when you do that you know exactly what to do next.
Speaker 1:You do these things for the sake of them, for the physical body and to improve the health of the physical body, and as a physical body's health improves, it's definitely a direct link to the quality of our thoughts, right? We can we can see that. We can 100% see that, but we don't but don't be fooled by thinking just because you get leaner you're gonna be happier, Right? So you have to work on this at the same time as as dropping your body fat and stuff. So this is just the start of it.
Speaker 1:But I bring this up because I I want all of you to start feeling I want you to feel free and happy and, you know, joy each day even if you're not anywhere near your goal because you don't have to be a certain weight to be, you know, to feel the person you wanna be. Right? Are you seeing that? You don't have to be losing all this weight to then if I do lose this weight, then I feel happy. Or if I do lose Hollywood to be better.
Speaker 1:Or if I do get lean for holiday, feel happier. If I do it like this way, I'd be happy. If I did finally do that. It's false. It's a complete fabrication.
Speaker 1:It's the biggest lie the mind ever makes. So be free from that, and everything becomes less stressful because it's all a game externally. And then internally, you've got some peace and stillness and calmness about the day. You get on with a bit of smile on your face because you are no longer tied to this external factors giving you internal validation or internal worth. Oh my god.
Speaker 1:Is that deep or no? Guys, tell me. Is it? And I hope you enjoyed it. My nose is so blocked.
Speaker 1:I can't my god. I can't breathe. It's so hot in this room. But, I'm looking forward to get back into voice notes. I got a lot of notes I did in my trip.
Speaker 1:A lot of notes about different types of stuff. There's a lot of different stuff, and I'm gonna bring it to you in the next few days and weeks. But I do wanna know what type of content do you want to hear through this? Do you want a theme? Do you want to be like Monday we do a research breakdown?
Speaker 1:Tuesday we do maybe, you know, member wins and why they're wins? Or Wednesday do want do like psychological stuff? And you know, do we want themes or not? Let me know if you do want it that way. But at the end of the day, there is only the now to get on with.
Speaker 1:So whatever your one big thing is, get it written down in the app, put it down in your journal. One big thing is, you know, whatever that one thing is gonna move the needle for you today. I'm not talking about, you know, cleaning the toilet. That's not a one big thing. I'm not talking about cleaning the dishes.
Speaker 1:That's not really a one big thing either. So I must have one thing that's gonna make a difference today. Getting your steps in is a is a one big thing. Hitting your macros is a one big thing. Doing a workout is a one big thing.
Speaker 1:Sending that email to that recruiter is a one big thing. Starting to write your resignation letter is a one big thing. You know. These things that do make a difference in our lives. Don't be trapped by the small minuscule task, go for the one big thing and one big thing every day is is huge, huge weeks let me tell you.
Speaker 1:So enjoy your day guys, speak to soon.
