One of the things I hear most often from Veterans is that, in their civilian lives, they can't find the pride and sense of purpose in what they do when they enter the civilian world. 

This is a dangerous feeling because it inevitably leads to depression, the leading killer of US Military Veterans in this country today. It's a difficult state to overcome, but you can get out of it. 

The key is in understanding one thing: in order to have pride and sense of purpose, you need to keep earning it. The reality is that if you are feeling like your life is empty, you're probably bored. You get bored when you feel like you're not doing anything worthwhile. 

In this Warrior Notes Episode we take you through three things you can do to regain that pride you felt when you were still in uniform.

A Harvard lecturer recently stated in a lecture in Germany that coconut oil is pure poison and that it wasn't until recently that it was considered healthy. 

This, however, is contradicts the fact that coconut oil has been eaten for thousands of years amongst Polynesian populations and that those populations had extremely low incidences of heart disease until starting the Western Diet. 

This podcast goes into what you should know about coconut oil. The truth is that it isn't poison, and it isn't God's gift to man. It is a food that has some benefits as well as some downfalls if you overconsume it.

In our lives there is an inherent temptation amongst us to blame the world for our problems. Many enjoy playing the victim and complain about this or that holding them down.

The danger here is that, when you do play the victim, you immediately submit control of your problems to outside forces rather than doing what you should be doing: working on yourself.

The two most important assets you have in your life are your mind and your body. If either falters, it will keep you from doing the things you need to do in your life for your family, for your career, and for yourself. 

One aspect of maintaining these two most valuable of assets is mental toughness. Being mentally tough means that you're not only going to be good on your good days, but that you'll also find a way to perform when things get hard. 

In this episode we go through three things you can do to increase your own mental toughness.

Whenever we're trying to do big things in our lives, it always seems like we don't have enough time. 

The truth is that we all have the same 24 hours in a day. 

We don't lack time, we lack attention. 

Tips:

  • Get 8 Hours of Sleep or you'll lose part of your attention to fatigue
  • Go to sleep early and wake up early
  • Focus on one thing at a time
    • turn off your phone notifications
    • get your phone as far away from you as possible while you're focusing
    • keep one window up at a time on your computer
  • Plan the day before
    • create a schedule
    • create a checklist for each item on your schedule
  • Create lists
    • keep a notebook with you wherever you go so that you can record things you need to pay attention to later
  • Build a team to help you with the things you shouldn't be doing
  • Be present in everything you do. Don't treat your family and relations as second class citizens.
  • Prioritize what you're focusing on.

In the world of Instagram fitness, there's a sea of trainers out there taking selfies, flexing their abs, and performing exercises for the camera.

Then there's JTM_Fit also known by his real name, Jay T. Maryniak. Amongst fitness pages, his page truly stands out for it's displays of strength, power, explosiveness, and creativity. Jay's also out there providing value every day with solid descriptions of his programming.

If that were all that was behind Jay's story, he would be inspiring enough, but Jay's also overcome a lot of his own demons to get to where he is today. At a very young age Jay found drugs and alcohol. He entered rehab at age 20 addicted to crack and came out the other side. 

After getting sober, Jay began practicing martial arts and competing in Crossfit. While training for a Crossfit competition, Jay became seriously ill, got rushed to the emergency room and found out he had Type 1 diabetes. That didn't stop him, and he continued training. Eventually Jay moved away from Crossfit and developed his own training methodology called The Functional Method. It involves powerlifting, kettlebells, gymnastics and several other modalities. 

In all, Jay is a great guy with a really inspiring story who's life is a testament to resilience.

In this episode of the Warrior Soul Podcast we discuss a subject that has affected most of our audience in one way or another: war. We read about war, and we see it depicted in movies. We also hear it spoken about on the news and in political commentary, but the fact remains that a very small percentage of our population in the US ever experiences war. Our guests today are no strangers to war. Dr. Michael Robillard is a philosopher from the University of Oxford who previously served as an infantry officer in the US Army's 82nd Airborne. Lt. Colonel Bob Underwood is a doctoral candidate in philosophy at the University of Oxford and is currently serving as an Armor Officer in the US Army. Together Michael and Bob have created the Homofurens Podcast where they explore society's relationship with war and how this relationship affects warriors.
