How to Control Your Emotions: Feelings VS Behavior - Jocko Willink & Echo Charles

Been practicing stoicism for 4 years and still not 100%, it’s hard but worth it!

I love this concept mentioned.... don't let others see your feelings. Keep them inside.
Yeah, it does sound funny, especially in this "woke" world we live in and wanting to share our feelings, so others can feel "normal", and then... you can feel normal.
As explained, he is not talking out BIG probs but rather daily stressors.
As a female, I wonder if this is more difficult for us... but to work on controlling those daily feelings --- love that!

Not gonna lie. I get pissed sometimes and yell. It’s rarely right away but if I say something a few times and I get disrespect than I can definitely yell, not at crazy levels but probably too loud. Need to do better

How can I get biceps like him.

Honourable and Beloved President Sir,

Emotion is type of habitants that can make situation relevant in order of control and been tends of human beings, Sir.

Limit of Control can be depends.

Aiming all relevant values to make decisions in right maner of deserved control is Emotion, Sir.

Emotion is face of things that we made in past situations. Emotion can control make of silence in Attitude.

Thanks.

His arm are the size of my legs 😂

Good stuff! 🙏

“Suppress your emotions” is actually a very good piece of advice. Maybe a better word is “conquer”. “Submit”. Whatever. People hate to hear it, but it’s true. As Jocko said, the day to day things need to just be held down.

I cant control anything.. even the thermostat. I am good at getting divorced and losing all my shit tho.. yeah.. pretty good at that.

Only a problem when people obverse it. Most my life famnly focus to controling my behavior. I wish people put time in focusing helping me be great.

Jocko, I listen to your podcast while I work out. Thank you for all the knowledge and wisdom that you spread!

I fully agree with everything said here. It coincides with stoicism. Putting it into practice is another thing for me tho. Me “controlling my emotions” usually ends up looking more like silent treatment towards ppl pushing my buttons.

I had this in a playlist and Jordan Peterson was playing before this and with no outro this immediately started playing. Call to action. lol

Have the good life.

I say it respond don’t react! 🤙🏼

Like it

Jocko cheers me up ❤he’s got the best advice. Never ever complain is my new positive mantra or thinking

Don’t sweat the little things, and most are little things. I just think of the superhuman effort it takes to get into the British Special Boat Service and anything compared to that is really nothing.

Sometimes you need to let it out and go somewhere and scream.. Bottled emotions are a unhealthy

Maximum respect!!! Love this!

It’s hard to watch this. No vocabulary

Not me listening to this as I was about to force myself to eat because I was starting to get dizzy. I'm just impressed Jocko can go 6 days without food and still train jiu-jitsu! Last time I went two days without eating and did 4 hours of kickboxing, I collapsed on the mat. Gotta train that weakness out 🤣

In all seriousness, though, I do feel more calm and in control when I keep my emotions in. When I used to go to therapy for PTSD, I had to constantly talk about both my big trauma stuff and my little daily stuff (because the big trauma impacted the little daily stuff), and it made me feel so out of control and emotionally messy.

I know Jocko said to not hold in the big stuff, but I've noticed that when I talk -- in depth and actually feel the pain -- about the big stuff, that weakness lingers and lowers my ability to control the little stuff, especially if I'm already burned out at work and stressed. The 2s felt like they're 8s, and I was more likely to feel emotional in general, even when there was nothing in the immediate environment to cry about.

Being able to actually identify and label emotions was HUGE in helping me control them (the small and big stuff, whether in public or private) because I felt like I understood them and it took their power away.

Being a man with borderline personality disorder is a bitch, also have complex PTSD, managing emotions is such a cocksucker for me. I wish i had any semblence of the steel jocko has

Jesus Christ Echo Charles bicep is like half of my body size 🤣

Hahahaha this video makes me laugh everytime I watch it without fail

Just donwplay some emotions (sadness/fear/anger) and feed others (like joy/gratitude). You can feed anger as well, just do it consciously not out of habit.

Hilarious podcast

yeah... keep you emotions inside, till you kill everybody emotionless xD

Suck it up

This was a great clip to hear. I have definitely "showed my cards" way too often in life and have had to learn that lesson. Being "real" is not more important than my own self growth and development and I must remain disciplined in those moments when I want to overshare a feeling or emotion. Thank for you yet another great lesson Jocko

Jocko 👑

Fasting=discipline is the dumbest shit ever. Feed your body. Fuel yourself all the time. This is stupid😂

video importee dans ma tete,

Or, just eat!

Dont let nobody see your DEMONS..

First we control our weakness then that of others, we practice what we preach!

Every day shit doesn’t matter at the end of the day

It’s about controlling what behavior you allow your emotions to express and compress in, such as in a calm strategic way letting your anger that’s been built up throughout the day or week out by sparring or shooting

I like in The Godfather when he said to his son don't ever speak your mind in public or not amongst your family something like that but it was good

🤙🏽

love you guys - but just try pms-ing once. i dare you!

This should be gospel for the workplace environment again. You should strive to be Mr. or Mrs. "Reliable and Stable" at work, especially the way things are after covid. Everybody is so up in each other's business about their personal/bodily happenings now. I had somebody literally come over to me crying because they thought the new guy was being "mean." Get the fuck over yourself. I have my own problems to deal with, I'm not shouldering yours too.

Thank you guys!

Echo is fucking huge.

If I am, or anyone I know, experiencing strong emotions, troubles, and (well done there, dummies, suicide) I would NOT be taking advice from these two.

If you went to prom with Jocko's daughter its because she took you. You didn't take her.

I only have two emotions. Neutral or angry. Never happy, never sad, never anything else. Just normal or angry, and my temper is dangerous. Is this normal for a man?
