1. Keep yourself busy, throw yourself into something new to stimulate yourself, you don’t have to be passionate about that particular thing, just get started

2. If you’re trying to transition out of a old group, it might be helpful to distance yourself for a little bit from the people in that group. Are your relationships with your old tribe the reason you can’t move on?

3. Understand that civilians that haven’t lived what you have can not understand you and you shouldn’t expect them to. Don't expect your service and what you have done to give you anything more than just a foot in the door

4. If you’re struggling find a goal, set a goal, work towards it, start making positive steps that reinforce your self esteem again

Isolation Kills. It’s not me, it’s we. We’re all in this together.

For today’s guest, we are very excited to bring you the real Rudy Reyes. From MMA, to many tours in Afghanistan and Iraq with the Marine’s 1st Recon Battalion, to your TV, and finally to conservation sites all over the world this man has done it all.
I really enjoyed this my conversation with this man. It changed the way I thought about myself and others. We go over a lot of good stuff, from the journey from selfless to self-love, to finding your new purpose, and how to fight off the tendency to isolate when it comes up. We go over what was difficult for Rudy to handle when getting out, his nonprofit work with Force Blue, and the greatest lesson he learned since leaving the Recon community.
Listen to what Rudy has to tell you, I know it is going to change your perspective. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Please feel free to leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

Which Way is Your Claymore Facing? w/ Barry Zworestine

This week’s episode of Ones Too Many we have Rhodesian War Veteran, psychologist, author, and ultramarathoner Barry Zworestine. We cover a lot of topics today from the difference he has seen being drafted into the war, what he calls the “bandaid method, and we delve deeper into what he does to help his patients. He gives a lot of tips and tricks that he uses in his daily practice to help people through their “ambush zone,” while throwing out some advice about how he helps not only the patient he is seeing, but also their families.

Next we moved toward his book, “Which Way is Your Claymore Facing.” We discuss why he wrote it, what he has learned from it, and what you will take from reading it. This wasn’t written to make money, it is for sell on Amazon for the minimum (who knew they had a minimum price...) $0.99 for the Ebook and $4.00 for the hard copy. It is a book filled with core wisdom. It focuses on how to stay coherent when you hit a wall by using: core lessons, core techniques, core strategies, operational neuroscience, tools to bring into your relationship. If you are struggling you are doing yourself a disservice by not checking this out. A link is posted below.

If you’ve enjoyed this episode please pass it on to someone you believe would benefit from listening to it. And please visit Barry and let him know what you thought as well.
