Episode Description
In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast I am talking about mindset in real life, not mindset as a buzzword. You are not broken. You do not need to become addicted to discipline. You do not have to become unrecognizable. You do not have to perform your life for the internet to prove you are improving. You need a calm head while you take action, and you need to decide to trust yourself.
I talk about how the self help and fitness world is built on keeping you chasing dopamine hits. Watch this video. Follow these five steps. Do this one tactic. Optimize every second. Stay productive. Stay obsessed. And if you still feel like an outsider after all of that, it must be because you are not hardcore enough. That message is everywhere. It is profitable. But it is garbage.
Your mindset is not a color coded routine. It is two things. First, when you are taking action in any area of your life, I want you operating from a quiet mind. Health and fitness. Creative work. Career moves. Relationships. Hobbies. Whatever you are building. You take the action, and in that moment you trust that either you know what to do or you are going to figure it out. You trust yourself. You choose to believe in yourself even if you have decades of feeling behind, or feeling like you do not belong. When you truly trust yourself while you are doing the thing, the noise drops. You are not performing for anyone. You are not posting hoping that one specific person sees it and finally validates you. You are just doing your thing.
Second, you have to be able to sit with what is in your head when it is not quiet yet. This is the part most people run from. This is why a lot of us binge self improvement content. Because being alone with our thoughts does not feel great at first. You have a lot of fear, shame, comparison, and old stories coming up. I talk about why this part matters, how it gets less intense over time, and why therapy, journaling, breathing, and staying present in your body are not weak fallback plans. They are practical ways to teach yourself that you are safe in your own head.
I tell you flat out that believing in yourself is a decision, and it is a decision you are going to have to reinforce daily. Use this podcast for that. Use the archive. Use the other YLF shows. Let this play in the background while you go about your day and remind yourself that you are capable. Because you are. You have gotten yourself this far, through everything you have had to navigate. You are resilient.
The current self help and fitness space markets against your insecurities. It convinces you that you are always behind, always not enough, always needing to grind harder. I am not interested in feeding that. My approach with Your Level Fitness is different on purpose. We build results as a byproduct, not as an obsession. We build confidence and trust in yourself instead of guilt around food, shame around your body, or panic around whether you are doing enough.
