Disclaimer, I am not a licensed psychologist, therapist, psychiatrist, counselor or any type of behavioral health expert. These are only my  thoughts, and ideas. With that being  said if you care to  listen, do so with an open mind, let's go.

Yo what's happening everybody. It's your host and CEO of the real ones reserved podcast. Your boy MDEE the veteran. I hope everyone had a great day on yesterday. A great labor day. Hopefully y'all made some bomb food myself. I made some real chicken, but not really on the grill. I made some short ribs. But not really on the grill.

And I made some Mac and cheese, but not really on the stove. , that's pretty funny. And also I made some blackened corn on the cob. I, I just balled it, put some little spices on there and that thing was hitting baby. So I know you guys are eager to get into today's message, but real quick, I wanna give a special shout out to my boy, Daniel Nugent for instant messaging me yesterday, telling me how much of an impact my show is having on him.

Uh, man, that touched my heart, bro. I'm glad that it is able to have a positive, uh, impact on you, uh, in your life. So I'm glad. You know, the show is doing things all around the world and I'm just so happy that, uh, I was able to bring something of value to you, bro. So getting into today's show, somebody says, Hmm, what does it mean to tame your demons?

Or why should I tame my demons? Or what does that even.

So my definition of taming your demons is all the untrue statements that we tell ourselves. Uh, for example, you're unattractive. You're not a good spouse. You're a terrible person. You deserve to be where you are. You have no talent, you have no worth you. Aren't important. Those sound like some harsh statements.

Wouldn't you all agree with me now? I don't know about all you guys, but in my mind, man, when I wake up in the morning, it's a freaking battleground and it's literally a fight whether, uh, it wants to be a positive thing or a negative thing, uh, whether it wants to be productive or feel sorry for itself. Um, And it's a struggle.

It's a struggle for power, you know, it's like, no, I wanna be negative. No, I wanna be positive. No, I wanna be negative. No, I wanna be positive. But over the years, I've figured out how to always win the battle on the positive side. If that makes sense. So my way of doing that. To just keep thinking of good things rather than bad things or bad thoughts about myself, because we all have some bad thoughts about ourselves.

We all have a pass. We all have skeletons in our closet that we don't want nobody to find nobody. Even if they get close to the closet, you gonna be like, get away from there. You know, we don't want nobody in that space. Or we have traumatic failures that we remember, man, and those things are painful to think about, you know, but you have to pull the positive from the failures.

You have to think about what caused you to fail. You know, a lot of times we weren't humble and that's what made us. We had the wrong attitude. We had the wrong mind frame. We did the wrong things and that caused us to fail. So pull from that, pull the good from that suck and use it for a better future. So for me, that's, uh, strategy to deal with taming, your demons, those things that eat you.

When you think about 'em those parts of life that you just don't want to think about, you know, or cause you to think about yourself negatively, which is in the past. So when you draw these conclusions or, uh, feel some type of way, but yourself be factual about it, what caused you to. Why are you such a bad person?

Why are you thinking of yourself like that? Why are you self talking yourself so poorly? Why are you feeding yourself all that negative, uh, affirmations, you know, stop living in the past. I'm sure whatever you've been through. You've learned something from. If not, you're gonna keep going through the same thing over and over again until you learn what you're supposed to learn.

So don't be embarrassed. Stop beating yourself up. Stop giving yourself all these lumps upside the head because you've paid for it already. So I'm sure that instance has humbled. You use it to tame your demons, like show me one person that hasn't messed. A few times in life, man. I'll tell you. I love to cook.

I love to make potato salad, but guess what? I'm not gonna make potato salad all the time. Perfectly. I still mess up potato salad. Although I made it hundreds and hundreds of times. And I know with some of y'all are thinking, why don't you just put down the recipe? Because I don't just put down the recipe.

I season it, how I feel, I feel it out. Maybe I would stop messing it up, but that's beside the fact  my point is none of us are perfect. Everyone will make mistakes, tame your demons with that know that you will make mistakes, but do not allow these negative things that we draw up about ourselves. Eat you alive.

Because they will. That's why you have to fight back and tame them with the positive things that you know about yourself. And don't be one of these people who I try to avoid, or I try to give them a little positive feedback, but I can't stay there too long because they're gonna drain me too. They, oh, I'm so bad.

Oh, I'm remember never doing that. All of this. Grow up, we all have done something bad that we regret that we feel bad for. But as long as you learn from that and humble yourself, you'll be straight move forward. So when your mind wants to just rattle all over the place and make you feel bad about. Just replace those negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

And at first it's hard, but you get really good at saying positive things. Just like you're bad at saying good things about yourself. And you're good at saying negative things. You'll become good at saying positive things about yourself. It's a mind trick. It's a mind. If that's you, I believe that you have the power to transform your way of thinking.

I believe that no matter how long you've been thinking that way you could break that cycle, you can shake back. You got it. Believe the best about yourself. You know, I know it's not easy, but you can do it. I really had a blast with you guys today. I hope that you all learn something. I hope that you felt this message.

I hope that it's gonna make a difference in your life. And I want you all to believe in yourself, man. It's enough negative self talk going on out there. And I just want y'all to believe in yourself, man, believe in yourself for yourself and for your. Shake those negative things off you tell 'em get the hell off me.

They ain't got no place on you. So that's gonna conclude today's show, man. And it's your boy MDEE the veteran and as always it's the veteran. So who you think you're better than.
