What do you think? Is there a part you agree with or dos agree with?

Please share and spread awareness.

I really appreciate that the author mentions vulnerability and our culture around it.

Sebastian Younger in his book Tribe describes that Israelis have significantly lower instances of PTSD because every single person in Israel is required to serve. That means that no one feels “alone” when they get back from their duty or when they see conflict. All of society understands them.

What can we do to bridge the gap between belonging and feeling “alone” with an all volunteer military?

Anyone else have input on feeling alone? Not just combat vets.

Why "thwarted belongingness" can be so toxic for male veterans.

INNER STRENGTH SESSIONS OCT, 2022 WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

At Inner Strength Sessions, Oct 21, 22, 23, men challenged themselves physically and psychologically.

Men discovered new perspective, new limits of physical capabilities, and opened up about some vulnerable aspects of their life.

Confronting personal issues and presenting them to other men who are determined to grow and who have no emotional ties really helps bring perspective and growth.

To the men who attended, CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve made huge gains.

To the men who would like to change the way you look at life, message me now.

I recently received a very powerful text from the wife of a man who attended Inner Strength Sessions.

She explained to me that during Inner Strength Sessions he learned skills and built enough confidence to set more boundaries! Then she went on to say she can tell a difference in his confidence during daily life.

Does YOUR HUSBAND work too much? Maybe he says yes a little too often. Did he forget an important date because work was on his mind? Does he fail to set boundaries with friends, his boss and/or co-workers? Could he use just a little more confidence and belief in himself?

DM me now and let's get him into Inner Strength Sessions Oct 21, 22, 23 in Jasper, AR. He'll learn skills and mindset training to help him take the wheel.

Men and their sons ABSOLUTELY SHOULD come together. DM me to find for the special father-son rate.

We’re told, ”Don’t bottle it up. It’s unhealthy.” We’re also expected to obey. We’re expected not to be aggressive.

What do we do when those conflict? Who do you talk with? Certainly not the bean counters who obey and couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag! Aggression is a natural part of life! Anger is a gift!

Come learn skills that will help you take control of your path.

Super men don’t react. We act. Kings are comfortable being even if the paper tigers around them aren’t.

Inner Strength Sessions Oct 21, 22, 23 will help us find the inner obstacles, address them and grow.

Message me now to secure your spot. Veterans and first responders always get the “You’ve contributed to society” price.

The mission of Inner Strength Sessions is to help men increase their capacity for life! Inner Strength Sessions does this by fostering an environment where a man can work on confidence, critical thinking, being vulnerable, boundary setting, risk taking, discipline, leading by example, being assertive, and being decisive.

When a man realizes his full potential, what society has tried to train out of him, he achieves goals and builds communities. He may choose to volunteer, stay where he is in life, become a supervisor, manager, CEO, or open his own business. Whatever he chooses to do, he’s in the driver’s seat and is not being led by another. No false bravado. No paper tigers. No trying to change the world out there. Simply learning how to control the inner battle so the outward man presents as a leader.

Does this resonate with you? Then please reach out. Let's get you into October's Inner Strength Sessions.

If you believe in the mission of Inner Strength Sessions, will you like the FB page, follow ISS on Instagram, and share? I'm a small fry, but we can make big changes when we develop our emotional intelligence.

Inner Strength Sessions develops emotional intelligence (EQ). We train it in many ways… to find out more message me!

Notes from The Art of Impossible.
CH 13: 80/20 of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Neurology

Good EQ correlates with good mood, good relationships, and success.

Cognitive capacity to manage these: Emotions come from 7 core networks: fear, lust, play, care, rage, seeking, panic/grief.

IQ gets you hired. EQ gets you promoted.

How to supercharge EQ

Emotional intelligence is broken down into four categories.

1. Self awareness = Character

2. Self management = Taking responsibility

3. Social awareness The ability to recognize inter-personal struggles in other people and greater problems, like racism and misogyny.

4. Relationship management Interpersonal communication skills

For the individual components
Acknowledge the yield sign/engage the EQ gap.

To overwrite our auto response, when we finally become aware of that gap between thought and response and/or emotion, pause for a breath before you speak, act, react. Get clear on your your motives. Evaluate your response. Ask, “Why am I about to say this? Why am about to do this?” Be accountable for your flaws. Monitor and overwrite negative self talk.

Widen didn’t your emotional vocabulary. Don’t sleep on this one. If we can adequately describe our emotions with detail in precise language it is liberating. The limits of my language are the limits of my world.

For the social components
Active listening
Engaged presence with genuine curiosity.Without judgment and without attachment to the outcome. No daydreaming. No listening to answer. Patience is key. Summarize what they say aloud.

Empathy
The ability to share and understand the feelings of another is one of the fastest ways to develop emotional intelligence.

Mirror neurons help us train empathy. (Mirror neurons are responsible for us cringing when we watch another person fall or take a big hit)

Imagination
Imagine how it would feel if it were you. Consider this multiple angles. Compassion enhancing mediation (7 hours made large changes in the insula and the temporal parietal junction. The T-P jnx helps us develop empathy and see other perspectives).

To reach high achievement, creativity matters.
In 2002 researchers were tasked to find out what kids need to survive in the 21st-century. It wasn’t reading, writing and arithmetic. It was creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, cooperation.

IBM did an internal study looking at skills required to run a company. Most important quality is creativity.

Creative people seem to be far happier and this should make us rethink depression. How we approach depression.

No more paralysis by analysis! Time to ACT! Pull the trigger and secure your spot for October’s Inner Strength Sessions! Oct 21, 22, 23. The weekend before Halloween!

I talked with a previous attendee for 1.5 hours today. He’s surprised by what happens when we employ the tactics learned in ISS! He couldn’t believe the benefits he’s reaping from just one ISS!

Price jumps by $200 on Sep 2. Message me now to secure your spot!

We all have a man in our life who needs to take time to reflect, learn, and grow! To help yourself and men in your community, please help him get a spot. I need your help creating a community of physically strong, emotionally intelligent, and psychologically resilient men!

Men who want to be an absolute monster when needed, but emotionally intelligent enough to ask meaningful questions in tense situations.

Let’s overcome self doubt and depressive thoughts. Let’s fulfill our potential and disregard other peoples’ fear!

Recently received this in regards to Inner Strength Sessions:

"I am a good man and a strong individual. Haven't had those feelings about myself in a long time. Physically and mentally, my life was stalled. Dr Huddleston's Inner Strength Sessions gave me new direction and positive feelings about myself."

I'm honored to help this man re-discover self worth.

ISS is not trying to indoctrinate men into believing we should change how the world works or vilify others if they do not see things the way we do. ISS IS trying to help men control their thought processes and actions when the world doesn't work the way we prefer. The difference plays out daily and it's huge.

Next ISS is Oct 21, 22, 23. Weekend before Halloween. Contact me to reserve your spot. Spots are limited.
