If you’re the type of person who's constantly grinding, who never slows down to take a break or take care of yourself, actively changing this combative nature into natural motivation will undoubtedly ease your mind and improve your performance. Today with my guest, retired Navy SEAL sniper William Branum, we will discuss the mindset of rigidity and weakness versus that of bravery and vulnerability when it comes to seeking help, and why success heavily depends on which path you take. And I’ll tell you right now, it’s fundamentally truthful. Our conversation touches on William’s experience of PTSD, how it can be sparked by any abrupt life change (rather than just from combat), and why seeking natural, unconventional methods of recovery makes you a better “fighter” in life. Join us as we sip The ARDBEG WEE BEASTIE NEAT and delve into the insights you need to push beyond your limitations for a healthier, happier way of being.
Wise Words from this episode:
- For better or worse, everything comes to an end. These transition points can be remarkably difficult to process (especially for high performers) and can contribute to PTSD in varying degrees, so don’t feel “bad” or “weird” if you’re struggling more than usual.
- William asks us all a poignant question about stress and recovery: “What internal temperature do you operate at on a daily basis — are you quick to boil over from external stimuli? Or are you slow and steady for what might set you off?” Answer this honestly and be open to the fact that it might be a sign you’re struggling with a form of PTSD. It’s not just a combat warrior’s affliction!
- In war, we wear armor to protect ourselves during each operation or mission and take it off when we are done. In life, people put on their armor and ego yet never take it off. How well do you think you can perform when you’re always armored up, bracing for the impact of each moment or experience?
- High performers are always on edge, using that intensity to fuel their operation. But without the balance of getting emotionally naked and alleviating that intensity when not necessary, you’ll eventually burn out, merely coping with life in place of living it.
- Know your strengths, but never be too good to admit your weaknesses and seek resources that help you face those challenges. Recovery and healing happen even in business growth.
