Toby | Coaching Men

Most men are losing in three areas simultaneously. And they don't even realise it. The three pillars that changed everything for me 🧵

@Daily_Journaler Completely agreed. It's also an art form if one practices the various ways of writing. I'm currently learning to beautify the writing, currently im practicing calligraphy writing. It's difficult but very rewarding.

@TobyForged Awesome routine. Yep, the old fashion pen and paper method is important because it forces your mind to slow down. For me, there's nothing like starting the day with some coffee, lofi music, and journaling. Love it.

One of the most efficient ways to gain mental clarity is journaling with pencil and paper. I do 45 minutes every morning with classical music in the background. No agenda, just whatever is in my head until it starts to make sense. The whole day flows differently after that.

@sheshn94 That's great to hear: writing with pencil and page in general has got no creative limitations. It's an art form.

@TobyForged Journaling was an absolute game changer for me and it's something I started doing with my first coach in 2021

@OptiMindInsight Alcohol was my biggest limitation Once I cut it out: training, sleep, energy, strength all became way better.

Reasons your training does not progress as you would like to: -Psychological stress from work, family and news -Insuffients caloric intake -Insufficient protein -Insufficient carbs -Poor hydration

@JuliusNotes You need to have a direction with where you want to go in life

Anxiety gets worse when your life has no direction. Because your mind is built to solve problems and move toward things. When there's nothing real to move toward, it invents threats instead. It's not broken. It's bored. Desperate for something to care about. Give it direction.

@thought_harbor For sure, humility and being able to see ones own flaws is a sign of maturity

Laugh at yourself when you mess up. Weak men get mad and hide their mistakes. A real man sees the funny side and keeps moving. Life hits everyone so learn to laugh. Taking yourself too serious makes you soft. Laugh at your own fail and get back to work right now.

@EliteDanno Makes sense, train the most difficult body part first. Man I really don’t enjoy leg days haha.. but it had to be done

@TobyForged Solid my man. My week always starts with legs and ends with upper body

No better way to start the week than with a leg session. What are you training today?

@javier_otieno1 Meditation is also great! I do 20 minutes of Zen meditation after journaling while staring into a candle light, What type of guided meditation do you do?

@TobyForged I do that after guided meditation. I've achieved state-flow several times with that. In those moments, nothing else seems to matter more than this scribbling exercise.

@javier_otieno1 In my opinion It's the best way to further ones strategic, complex and creative thinking.

@TobyForged Journaling is so effective. It's easy to see the evolution of different mind states

@ItsAndraz Yeah, writing is a form of art that unfortunately many people have lost in this digital age.

@TobyForged Convincing. I think it's key that it is pen and paper.

@BowTiedYukon Discipline the mind and discipline the body, that's the way to create a really good life.

One of the most powerful forces in life is discipline Being able to continually do something over and over again Most people are controlled by emotions. Discipline ignores emotions It shows up tired It shows up stressed It shows up when nobody’s watching What they call talent is discipline

Yeah, it's more about taking action than relying on talent as well.. Most of the people we look at as "talented" just put in way more hours of practice than us. It is true that some people have an inclination toward a certain field of work or craft, and are naturally good at it. But to become great at it, they still have to dedicate a lot of time!

Talent gives you a chance. Intelligence gives you options. Courage decides if any of it becomes real.

@Talha_rahim69 Habit stacking with the daily practice!

Your future isn’t built in big moments. It’s built in the habits no one notices, the routines nobody applauds, and the work nobody sees. Every disciplined action is a deposit into the life you're trying to create. Keep stacking them. 🔥

@theandreilucian Being afraid of criticism is not the way to move forward in life. Some people won't like what you're doing, and that's fine. Keep it moving anyhow.

I used to be afraid of criticism. I thought negative comments meant I was failing. I tried to please everyone. I avoided controversy. Then I learned: Criticism means you're visible. Invisible people don't get criticized. Be visible. Accept criticism. Keep going.

@rajmichaelsfit That's very true. It's the discipline to do something difficult that bleeds into all other areas of life as well.

Most people don’t realize how much gym slowly changes your mindset until they stop going for a while

@JacobHEvans Being of service generally makes us feel better about ourselves

3 Things you should give freely more often: - Respect - Verbal affirmation - Charitable donations It will change the way you see things.

@getpaidwrite Writing is a skill that should be practiced on a daily basis

"I can't write" No, you don't write. No such thing as can't.

@gbscoach Lack of action is more dangerous. A lot of people that aren't perhaps highly intelligent still find a way to succeed because they take relentless action.

What is more dangerous to success? Lack of intelligence or lack of action? Execution compounds while ideas decay. Behavioral activation. Lack of action.

@ItsThomAnt Having a calm nervous system also allows you to have a calm thinking brain.

Your mind works with what you feed it. Feed it panic, gossip, and shallow opinions. Don’t be surprised when your decisions look the same.

@FitnessEmpiree Around 11am is the sweet spot for me to hit the gym

Whatever You Do, Don't Skip Gym in Morning. It Freshen Up Your Whole Day.
