  1. The Discipline Hack That Changed My Life: How I Work Out Without Motivation, Mirrors, or a Scale

    The Discipline Hack That Changed My Life: How I Work Out Without Motivation, Mirrors, or a Scale

    In this episode of Reminding Yourself, I share the mindset shift that made discipline sustainable. This is not a motivational speech. It’s a system. I explain how I turned the act of getting to the gym into part of my workout. I break down the way I removed motivation from the equation, why I stopped using mirrors or scales, and how I travel across cities without missing a day. This is about more than fitness. It is about identity. In this episode you will hear: * How to train your body to show up even when your mind resists * Why “just get to the car” is my anti-quitting protocol * The trick to making a packed gym bag your accountability partner * How I replaced self-image with self-direction * Why I track motion, not metrics * How I rebuilt discipline while rebuilding myself This was recorded at 6:30am, right after the gym, while heading to get coffee. No script. No filters. Just the real thought process behind how I stay consistent. If you’ve ever struggled with momentum, identity, or emotional resistance to routine, this episode will give you something deeper to work with.

  2. When Discipline Slips: The War Between Distractions and Destiny

    When Discipline Slips: The War Between Distractions and Destiny

    In this episode, I talk about one of the most dangerous traps you face while doing deep inner work. Distractions often show up looking like opportunities. That is the trick. After seven months of what I call shadow framing, a focused period of spiritual, mental, and physical work, I started to notice something. The better you become, the more things begin to orbit around you. But not all of those things are for you. Some pull you forward. Others pull you off track. So how do you know the difference? This episode is a real-time reflection on what it feels like to slip. To break your discipline. To take a step that seems harmless but leads somewhere else entirely. I also share what to do when that happens and how to get back in alignment quickly. If you are working on yourself and you’ve slipped lately, this episode is for you. One mistake does not erase your progress. What matters is how fast you return to who you are becoming. Not everything that glows is good for you. Pay attention. Adjust faster. And keep going.

    Dark Place. Light Strategy.

    You’re exhausted. Life feels stuck. Every time you try to move forward, it seems like things fall apart even more. Maybe you’re at rock bottom. Maybe it feels like the universe is working against you. This episode speaks to that moment. This is not a motivational speech. It is a raw breakdown of what it feels like to hit emotional rock bottom and how to start rebuilding from there. Not with fantasy, but with clarity. We talk survival strategy, mental reset, and spiritual focus. If you are facing burnout, heartbreak, setbacks, or the quiet weight of isolation, this episode gives you a place to begin again. Because seduction is not just about attraction. It is about power. And if your energy is broken, nothing connects. Listen when you are ready to stop pretending and start rebuilding.

  4. When Silence Starts Talking Back

    When Silence Starts Talking Back

    In this episode of ReMinding Yourself, we’re not just talking about going silent. We’re talking about what happens after the silence settles in. You hear a lot about Monk Mode. Ghost Mode. Cutting off distractions. Going deep. Doing the work. But here’s what no one tells you— What happens when the noise disappears, and all that’s left is you? No texts. No calls. No notifications. Just you… and everything you’ve been avoiding. At first, isolation feels powerful. Like you’re taking back control. And maybe you are. But eventually, the silence starts to echo. And that’s when it gets real. This episode isn’t about some feel-good “glow up.” It’s about the emotional breakdowns. The spiritual check-ins. The late nights when your mind won’t shut off, and the early mornings when you question why you’re even doing this. Going ghost isn’t just disappearing from others. It’s facing the version of yourself you’ve been too distracted to deal with. And that part? That’s the real work. So if you’re in Monk Mode right now—if you’re in that tunnel, trying to find the other side—this is your mirror. If you’re thinking about stepping away to rebuild, this is your reminder of what it actually costs—and what it can give you if you’re brave enough to face it all. You’re not alone in the silence. Tune in. Reflect. ReMind Yourself. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit remindingyourself.substack.com

    ReMinding Yourself: Understanding Narcissism, Co-Parenting Struggles, and Reclaiming Your Power

    In this thought-provoking episode of ReMinding Yourself, we dive deep into the challenges that many men face when navigating difficult relationships, toxic dynamics, and the battle to maintain a meaningful connection with their children. Our guest, Dio, brings invaluable insights on understanding narcissistic behavior, the impact of manipulation in relationships, and the struggles fathers face in custody battles and co-parenting. Breaking Free from Toxic Cycles Many men unknowingly fall into codependent relationships, sacrificing their identity and well-being for the sake of keeping the peace. Dio breaks down the red flags to look out for—love bombing, manipulation tactics, emotional abuse, and control dynamics—and explains how they slowly erode a man's confidence and independence. He also shares key strategies to recognize when you are in a narcissistic relationship and how to reclaim your masculinity and self-worth. The Hidden Struggles of Fathers in Family Court One of the biggest revelations in this conversation is the court system’s bias when it comes to custody battles. We discuss the flaws in the legal system, how narcissistic individuals manipulate it to their advantage, and why the child’s best interest often takes a backseat to financial and legal battles. Dio shares research-based insights on why children raised by single fathers often fare better than those raised in single-mother households, challenging conventional narratives about custody and parenting. Rebuilding Yourself and Finding Support For men feeling trapped in these dynamics, the key to breaking free is self-awareness, therapy, and building a support network. Dio emphasizes the importance of: * Seeking therapy to break free from codependency * Surrounding yourself with a strong support system * Understanding legal options and getting informed about family court dynamics * Protecting your mental health and focusing on personal growth A Must-Listen for Fathers and Men Seeking Empowerment This episode is not just a conversation—it is a call to action for men struggling in silence. Whether you are dealing with a difficult co-parenting situation, questioning your relationship, or simply seeking to understand these dynamics better, this discussion offers practical insights, encouragement, and strategies for moving forward. Listen now and empower yourself with the knowledge and tools to take control of your life.

    A Father’s Final Words: The Tragic Impact of Family Court Battles

    In this heart-wrenching episode of ReMinding Yourself, we highlight the tragic story of Dr. Amir Saeed, a devoted father and respected university professor, who left a haunting message before taking his own life. After years of battling through the family court system to remain in his daughters’ lives, the overwhelming emotional and financial toll became too much to bear. Dr. Saeed’s story is a devastating reminder of the immense pressure fathers face when fighting for their parental rights, often within a system that feels stacked against them. This episode is not just a tribute to his love and dedication as a father—it’s a call to action to address the flaws in the family court system that leave countless parents feeling hopeless and unheard. We explore: * The emotional toll of prolonged custody battles. * The systemic failures that perpetuate parental alienation and bias. * The urgent need for reform to support fathers and protect children’s well-being. This is more than a story—it’s a plea for understanding, compassion, and change. Watch, share, and join the conversation as we honor Dr. Saeed’s memory and advocate for a system that supports fathers and prioritizes the best interests of children.
