On this weekly episode, Reacting is a bit different from responding. reacting is instinctive and, reciprocal I struggled when I was a teenager and young adult, having extreme episodes of anger and rage. As I grew, I began to develop the ability to respond. Responding, while technically a reaction, takes into consideration the desired outcome of the interaction. A reaction is about the moment, whereas a response is about the outcome. “Do or do not; there is no try.” Yoda. We do not try, "trying" allows one to lack investment,  shows a lack of confidence, and allows a person to be devoid of ownership. Lastly, who taught you about money? are you living check to check?

Under The Armor EP 65

On this weekly episode, If we look back at human evolution and skill-building, there’s one thing that’s made us evolve, build new skills, and create new habits exceptionally quickly, and that’s the fear of being killed. We are no longer the hunted, and since we have sat on the top of the food chain, have we become overly complacent? A 2020 study asked 61 participants to abstain from social media for a week. They report a significant increase in mental well-being and social connectedness after the period of abstinence. Is social media, Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram the new drug? Keeping us from sleeping and creating depression, fear, and anxiety, we all need to take a significant break! Lastly, in 2022 we are more lonely than ever, and as a 32 man, I had to take a moment and RANT about LOVE and RELATIONSHIPS.

On this weekly episode, Does your value align with your goals? Playing sports or being in the Military values are always drilled into your head. However, things are changing so quickly. I have now made it a point to ensure that I keep internally checking with myself. Determining that my values are the driving force of my goals. Keeping these two in unity belief will help me with my daily self-discipline. I wake up at 4:30 am on the weekday, and it is not for the weak. However, I have strong credence that your 1st battle of wills every morning is honoring that alarm and waking up and getting your day started. If change is forced upon you, you must resist the temptation to overreact or feel sorry for yourself.  Robert Greene. How often do you feel that life is unfair? That something happened that you think should not have happened to you? it is ideal to blame others, but I love the practice of absolute accountability. Take responsibility for everything that happens in life. Own it own everything, every decision, every action. We don't control much; however, what we do control is ourselves. Our actions, our thoughts, and we need to focus solely on that.  Come with me as we take a look Under The Armor.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joshua-broomfield/support

A Date is a form of courtship, consisting of social activities done by the couple, either alone or with others. There are many versions of dating. The average date cost $97.67.

Under The Armor EP 60

On this weekly episode, natural selection and ‘survival of the fittest,’ does it still play a dominant role? There was a time when only the strongest could survive in the wild. Is the quote still true despite the fact that it has been hindered for years due to our greatest fear of being food for wild animals? Nowadays, with the availability of better healthcare, food, heating, and hygiene the number of ‘hazards’ we experience in our lives has dramatically reduced. With technology leading the way, my biggest pondering is are we adapting to it in such a way that our humanity is becoming an afterthought. According to Yale researchers, 26 percent of American adults admit to not having read even part of a book within the past year.  Reading is a love of mine that has been nurtured since I was a child. During the summer break, my mother would require one book to be read with a written or verbal book report in order to go outside and play. Reading has so many benefits such as: Mental Stimulation, Stress Reduction, Knowledge, Vocabulary Expansion, Memory Improvement and, Tranquility. There is a phrase that is so common; you may have heard it twice last week, ‘Know thyself!’ The phrase has a serious philosophical pedigree: Self-knowledge is important for one’s central reason: because it offers us a route to greater happiness and fulfillment. A lack of self-knowledge leaves you open to mishaps and mistaken ambitions. Armed with the right sort of self-knowledge, we have a greater chance of avoiding errors in our dealings with others and in the formulation of our life choices.

On this weekly episode, Antonio Tavaris Brown Sr. is a professional American football player. He has overcome tremendous odds to play basketball at the highest level. Being raised in Liberty City, Miami, Brown attended Miami Norland High School. He played college football at Central Michigan University. However Antonio Tavaris Brown has been a trending topic due to his tantrum that was displayed so that the entire world could witness an African American Man with a lack of self-control. Furthermore, this highlights a pattern of misconduct by Brown. The Stoic position on what is within our control is one's thoughts, emotions, desires, choices, and actions. To be in control is to self-govern and we do not need police or laws to govern ourselves while they do have the influence. We have the tendency to be obese about things that lie outside of our control. The gym rush is truly in effect went to the gym on Monday and almost snapped due to the number of new people within LA Fitness. Let's talk gym etiquette.

On this weekly episode, we honor the 1st episode of 2022. As the new year starts, it brings with it a feeling of retrospection. Generally, reflection is a process of exploring and examining ourselves, our perspectives, attributes, experiences, actions, and interactions. It helps us gain insight and see how to move forward. 2021 has passed and as I look back, I am able to stand proud of some of my accomplishments. Naturally, there are also faults and shortcomings that I seek to improve. I'm striving to improve upon 2021, learning from my mistakes while not being hypocritical of my errors. As I reflect, one of my biggest areas for improvement is having empathy for the feelings and emotions of others. I yearn to gain the virtue of acceptance. Being more comfortable with allowing others to have a right to be their own unique, personal view is one of my personal goals this year...Growing to encompass the ability to respectfully observe others as they experience and process their own feelings, thoughts, and opinions. Resisting the urge to change them into the person I want them to be but instead to accept them for who they are. #Westsideonmines is one of my most-used catchphrases... and it means so many things.

It also has a direct and lasting impact on our occupation, relationship and, overall happiness. Taking a step back allows us to get clarity and perspective.

On this weekly episode, We all have emotional needs. But what exactly is the definition of an emotional need? Emotional needs are feelings or conditions we need to feel happy, fulfilled, or at peace. Without them, we may feel frustrated, hurt, or dissatisfied. Some examples of emotional needs might include feeling appreciated, feeling accomplished, feeling safe, or feeling part of a community. As humans, we seek emotional nourishment as much as food and water. However, I often wonder if it is indeed a birthright to be emotionally nourished. We are currently 4 days always from Thanksgiving. Turkey, Stuffing, Mac and Cheese, Ham, Deviled Eggs, Gravy, Apple Pie, Sweet Potato Pie, Pumpkin Pie oooo MY! The holiday season is advertised as a festive time of the year filled with parties, celebrations, and social gatherings with family and friends. For many people, it is a time filled with sadness, self-reflection, loneliness, and anxiety. Depression may occur at any time of the year, due in large part to stress and anxiety accompanied with the months of November and December may cause even those who are usually content to experience loneliness and a lack of fulfillment.“A spiritual practice is a constant battle within, replacing previous negative conditioning or habituation with new positive conditioning.” Dalai Lama. If we were to be completely honest with ourselves the foundation of most of our issues in life is the byproduct of our self-destructive behavior. Self-destructive behaviors provide relief or even pleasure in the short term but ultimately get in the way of living a life that feels satisfying and fulfilling. Self-destructive behavior may be intentional or subconscious, impulsive or planned.

I believe one of the most vital factors is one’s ability to overcome obstacles. Is one's self-confidence. Self-work is the fundamental foundation for self-confidence. Ben Simmons believes the Philadelphia 76ers’ recent actions are exacerbating his mental health issues, and that the team wants to deem him fit to force him to play, regardless of what he tells the team’s mental health therapist. Does Ben Simmons have the right to want to be paid while he is unfit to fulfill his contractual obligations with the 76ers? Why do sensible and rational people seem to lose the ability to act sensibly and rationally when they are in conflict? What makes us so angry and upset is that we are open to tearing deep relationships apart in various squabbles. Which in hindsight may be determined to be petty or childish. Our self-esteem is one of the strongest motivating factors in conflict and generates powerful emotions.

On this weekly episode, we look at the contrast between good and bad decisions. In a biblical sense, we must atone for these transgressions. This is why bad decisions have such a great cost in comparison with decisions. The bad or poor decisions often alter our path of life in a profound way in comparison with wise decisions. Life is not linear. It doesn’t always make sense and expecting a logical progression is folly, especially in the world we live in today. We don’t have a set of directions or a secret map that tells us what to do or where to go. Our paths are winding and filled with forks. Sex is an Art. It is a sensual act, with the potential for unlimited and unparalleled creative power. Tapping into your sexual centers can serve as a source of inspiration, motivation, and incomparable energy. I have a strong belief that sex is an Art as much as it is a Skill.  Come with me as we take a look Under The Armor.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joshua-broomfield/support

On this weekly episode,“O beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.” Shakespeare Othello. Jealousy, at its core, is a byproduct of fear, fear of not being good enough, fear of loss. It can trick us into believing our relationship is in immediate danger when it hits, making it impossible to distinguish between natural feelings of protectiveness and irrational suspicion. In other words, it's pretty terrible. Grounding is basically balancing out your body's spiritual and physical energy by connecting yourself with the earth. When you are grounded, you feel like you are here, in the physical, in the present. To be grounded gives your energy a point of steadiness and you will feel clear, centered, strong, and focused. I have a strong belief that one must Own their Mistakes. To me, the type of sovereignty creates a trustworthy and respectable person. I am honored to have the title of King within certain spaces in my life and it is not a title I hold lightly. As a King, I am not perfect no matter how much I may want to be or think to be I am making some mistakes. To make a decision that doesn’t play out in my favor to have a moment of weakness and conduct an act out of selfishness. It is Paramount that I can own my mistakes and handle them with honesty, integrity, and grace.

On this 50th episode, I would like to express much gratitude.  Thank you for being such amazing listeners. Thank you for allowing me to express my thoughts and beliefs. Less is more but how can this be, We live in a more more world. The ideology can pretty confusing. After all, the words less and more are antonyms: They’re one another’s the literal opposite. So how could less be more?!  We all would like more. More money, more clothes, more gadgets. But could less of something a smaller amount can at times be more beneficial than a large amount of it? There is a beauty within simplicity, how better is such an approach in comparison to one that is more complicated. When is the last time you played? When was the last time you enjoyed a game of tag, when is the last you got on the court, or field, or table? When was the last time you enjoyed a game that you fell in love with as a child? Play has been shown to release endorphins, improve brain functionality, and stimulate creativity. And it can even help to keep us young and feeling energetic. Studies show that play improves memory and stimulates the growth of the cerebral cortex. Do you add value to those around you? Is this a question we ask ourselves often enough? What is value? According to Webster, dictionary value is a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged. What does it mean to add value to others? Within our Relationship, Partnership, Friendships what does adding value look like.

On this 50th episode, I would like to express much gratitude.  Thank you for being such amazing listeners. Thank you for allowing me to express my thoughts and beliefs. Less is more but how can this be, We live in a more more world. The ideology can pretty confusing. After all, the words less and more are antonyms: They’re one another’s the literal opposite.

Under The Armor EP 50

On this weekly episode, The power of No Wielded wisely, No is an instrument of integrity and a shield against exploitation. It often takes courage to say. It is hard to receive. But setting limits sets us free. No that is an affirmation of self implicitly acknowledges personal responsibility. It says that while each of us interacts with others, and loves, respects, and values those relationships, we do not and cannot allow ourselves always to be influenced by them. The strength we draw from saying No is that it underscores this hard truth of maturity: We are human and we all have limits. No one likes to fail, and that makes perfect sense. Failure doesn’t feel good, and it usually costs us a sizable chunk of money, time, and dignity. On top of that, comebacks are exhausting. Here’s the thing, though: to some degree, failure is an inevitable part of life. Whether they’re big or small, none of us can avoid experiencing setbacks from time to time and that’s OK. In fact, it’s more than just OK to fail it’s necessary. Cognitive distortions are biased perspectives we take on ourselves and the world around us. They are irrational thoughts and beliefs that we unknowingly reinforce over time. These patterns and systems of thought are often subtle–it’s difficult to recognize them when they are a regular feature of your day-to-day thoughts. That is why they can be so damaging since it’s hard to change what you don’t recognize as something that needs to change!

Under The Armor EP 49

On this weekly episode, we celebrate the 5th Anniversary of my father's death. The act of dying is equal in all… Death has no degrees of greater or less; for it has the same limit in all instances, the finishing of life.” Seneca. If we all are going to die and there is nothing that can prevent us from this. What should we do? Should we fight it? Try to run from it? How about we live a life that impacts the world and community around us much longer than the time we have on this earth. Complacency destroys progress. It is one of the only things you can do that cannot be justified into achieving your goal of any kind. Lately, I have been feeling burnt out dealing with work and life but recently I had a meeting with myself and realized that I have become Complacent. This is a dangerous virus that we all struggle with within our day-to-day life. Do you drive and text, how about working on several tasks at the same time? When is the last time you give a task 100% of your focus and attention? Multitasking reduces your efficiency and performance because your brain can only focus on one thing at a time. When we try to do two things at once, our brain lacks the capacity to perform both tasks successfully. Research also shows that, in addition to slowing us down, multitasking lowers our IQ.

Under The Armor EP 48

On this weekly episode, Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it. Why does power corrupt us and how do we acquire power without losing our true self? Techs can create an illusion where our minds swelled into thinking something they are not. We all want to be popular and influential "posting" something on social media and receiving praise and affirmation can be inflated alter our personality, pride can swell withinside of us and the praise of peers can become a hunger that can never quite be sustained. Are we headed to a delusional tech-based society? Lastly, at its most basic definition, failure is a lack of success. Failure can take on many shapes and forms. Failure could mean you were unable to land a big sale. Failure could be a relationship that ends. Failure can be you not obtaining goals. If failure is needed in life then how do we correct our mindset to be able to improve from such failure?

Under The Armor EP 47

On this weekly episode, we compare companionship and romantic relationship. while many believe, romantic love is the same as passionate love Bianca P. Acevedo, PhD is quoted stating "It isn't. Romantic love has the intensity, engagement and sexual chemistry that passionate love has, minus the obsessive component. Passionate or obsessive love includes feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. This kind of love helps drive the shorter relationships but not the longer ones." Autonomy is people’s need to perceive that they have choices, that what they are doing is of their own volition, and that they are the source of their own actions. As a leader at work, in a relationship and with children. how often may one be micromanaging them creating feelings of frustration? Lastly, a Pure Heart  is important. how can we seek this Pure Heart in a world that seems to be losing all of its ethics and morals? Are we swimming against the tide of public popular opinion? So, even if we are able to discover this Pure Heart is it something you can maintain in this life?
