I practice this each day. Trying not to let things that ultimately don't matter get the better of me. Anything from work to games.

In cognitive behavioural therapy there is an interesting model where you learn that the only way to control your emotions (and the resulting behaviour) is by being mindful of your thoughts. A lot of the internal chatter that goes on all day is bullshit if you really pay attention. A lot of it is internalized voices of other people, fears, doubts, ideology or things you've come to believe that don't withstand critical analysis. But if you aren't mindful, you just go with it and that stream of bullshit carries you through life, decides how you feel and how you behave. I'd argue that one of the most direct ways to control your emotions is a daily practice of meditation (or some other form of mindfulnes).

Sigh, there was no male figure like this in my life.

Stoicism at its finest.

It’s so sad. Nearly everything Jocko talks about is considered by the APA as “toxic masculinity”. I hope the next generation does a sharp course correction.

Ghengis khan was taught to keep a blank expression by submerging himself upto his neck in a glacial stream. His was defined as cold face. It is essential to thriving in today's world.

You are are a life saver jocko, Joe rogan brought you up again tonight. You are such a inspiration. Thank you ! Thank you

Jocko playing the game of faces! A man knows

Had to watch this again as I lost my shit today. Temper = regret . Got to hit the pause button and detach.

Now I'm craving prime rib.

I was in the Young Marines program when I was 13-17, and I remember something called "The Attention Game". We would stand in formation, at attention, while our DI's would attempt to make us break. If you broke, you PT'd until the last guy lost. I was always in the last third who did, but there was one guy who was a total statue that would have us pushing until we almost DIED.

Judicious use of your anger is spot on. If you pull it out when you really mean it, it is FAR more effective. This, I find, is also true of the use of the "F-Bomb".....Somehow, it has become the universal adjective. In today's society, it has become akin to saying "like" or "ya know".... If it is saved for when you really need to make a point.....it then carries more power. IMHO

Jocko willink what a beautiful personality I'm glad that ur military have such a classy people in their ranks thumbs up all day long to echoJ@(KO$$$$$100% ENCOURAGE

I'm watching this, my wife just walked in, saw Jocko and she asked: "Matt Damon?".

You have changed my life in soany ways for the better. Thank you

I watch you while I do my workouts and after I appreciate all the advice I hope one day to meet you and express how much of your advice got me through my life and tight times specially not having a mother and a father. Keep it going 🏋🏽

Does Echo have tattoos of muscle fibers?

Excellent explanation of real world psychological scenarios that encourage strength in the face of adversity.

Laugh and smiles helps alot subconsciously and with social situations

Couldnt have been more perfectly timed

Echo Charles the game where you blow everyone up was lemmings. Good game

Thank you for this.

This is an area I need to work on in my life.

“I know it sounds like you should call CPS on me......but I bet you won’t”

Emotional ppl are generally weak.

Echo looking JAAAAACKED!!!!

Thanks for the video. Now I know how to better control my emotions.

I really had serious difficulty controlling my emotions earlier today. I felt victimized, hurt, betrayed. Pain. Anger. That said, things went well. No I did not turn physically violent, I mean I am 40 years old. But at the same time feeling victimized is no joke. Tired of this western world man shaming.

Good stuff! 🤘🇺🇸🤘

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice, brother. I know you can swim with the best of them. That's the last man in the room. I would piss off. And I think I'm a tough guy. Hahaha

Its hard to show emotion sometimes after to many deployments and getting de sensitized to everything , it can make life more difficult

I just listened to podcast 71 again

I have trouble showing emotions or having any positive ones.. through hardships, I conditioned myself to place them second; but i'm not surviving anymore. I've been told I can be either a positive or negative leader from a very young age, and my purpose is to be exemplary, an immovable pillar for my brothers to rely on. All of my relationships are founded on my efficiency, and I am happy to make myself appreciated through my actions more than my personality, but would there be a way for me to recover from a past that I built myself from? Something that I can do alone.. trustworthy people to hang with is fine and all, but they're just not around yet

Thanks, guys!

thanks for this!

Christ is the greatest example of Extreme ownership. Proverbs 25.28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls. 2 Timothy 1.7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Build trust - team work.

I'm HANGRY NOW, BECAUSE OF THIS DIALOGUE ON Prime Rib, damnit man!

" I just broke you!" laughed so hard

Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory--William Barclay

HONESTLY.... I CAN'T CONTROL MY EMOTIONS WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT MY... SKINNY KNEES!!!!

It’s about responding over reacting.

Being told to get on the other line at DMV! 😄👍

I'm going to use this on the kids in my life

Great video!

If only Anakin could have heard this lol

Interesting. This idea of normal face is very similar to how you deal with most people with personality disorder traits. It's called the gray rock method: You appear as uninteresting as a gray rock so then they go away and feel like messing with someone else instead.

I'm calling DFS and we are ll coming over to play that awesome game. lol. good fun I understand.

damn this is cool

Good reminder for me. I'm always pissed off. I need to practice normal voice with increased vocabulary and less cussing. Great advice thx.

My emotions are too strong. I tried to control it even in the military. Although I made some progress I still find myself saying weird shit and I prefer to be silent, but when I start to speak its faster and faster. It's weird.

Gonna show this to my wife tonight.

💪🏼

Hey @jockowillink , if you’d get these episodes/podcasts captioned, I’d appreciate it. Thanks buddy!

What age should I expect my son to be able to control his emotions? He's 5. I work in it with him but I never had a game like that to practice. So thank you! Ive only been reminding him in the moment but it's not that practical in the moment.

Lol I remember this podcast

Even when the prime rib is overcooked and bland, look at your wife and scream in happiness, "YESSSS!!!" ;)

good evening, echo

Interesting fact: topic related to control emotions got less views comparing to other videos from Jocko.

04:10. Boss told me I was getting assigned to lead 2x of the lowest performing teams. She was wrong.

Would love to place bets on which one of these two if they went at it would be left standing

Stifle your feelings and emotions.

Does this apply when they are asking about your sister on the construction site?

I lose control with my brother and I have a hole in the wall. This is the first time but It’s it the first time I lose control. I really hate that I was not myself for a few seconds. I want to change that.

Damn bro, you can see the striations of muscle off of Echo's arm, what is he, like 3% body fat...

What’s the status of “Psychological Warfare 2”? Thank you.

Makes sense though

Trejo ?

So what are some tools for controlling emotions? All I heard was reasons to do it.

Hello Mr. Jocko, do you mind putting English subtitles on your videos? I can explain, here in Brazil few people speak English and there are still less fluent people to watch their excellent videos. If you agree, I can put subtitles on your videos, but I really don't know how to edit your videos to accomplish this task. If you put at least English subtitles, you could get a large following. graciously Cesar Mello

Trying not to show emotions about how good this is. 😐

Is it me or does echo get bigger every video?

One emotion I can’t control is love...I’m such a romantic...what a blessing and a curse, right?

Many, but not all reactive emotions are ego driven.

Stoicism

💜🙏🇺🇲

I need to learn normal face!

Check

if u hold the number 5 in the video u can hear how he imitates a machine gun

I told my 9 year old about this game and she thinks it sounds great lol

You guys are awesome but when are we gonna hear about your tren test cycles? ;)

ha I loved beating my kids up this way Jocko ;) Don't worry peeps, they all used to beat the shit outta me! Loads of fun, fits and giggles. Thanks JW and EC xx

i control mine to an exstent

It depends on how in sync they are with the culture they represent. Variable.

Jocko has a way of acting like he's interested in Echo's thoughts but you can tell by his body language (ringing of the hands)- deep, yet "humble" JOCKO breaths as he's moving back and forth in his chair just waiting for Echo to shut up and move on. Dichotomy..

emotions are irrational

18 people can't keep a normal face...

I heard Jocko is second cousins with Chuck Norris. Hahaha

Women don't like emotional men. FACTS.

Now I want kids

You're flirting with a girl at the club and AMOG starts to talk to her, picks her up and starts carrying her away. Keep it under control, normal face, don't show emotion.

Normal face.

he was Ok till he became obnoxious

One name this video should be called “Jordan Peterson” at least give some credit

Get made fun of because u don't go to the store. Lol i go to the store when i want. Lol

Wife cooking prime rib for you? Shit dudes... Gota b made up your wife cooks and cleans and looks good? Not real

This dude is clueless. You’re actually teaching your kids to be self-conscious and overly aware of every tiny thing they do. They will try to self-correct more which just leads to anxiety and frustration. You don’t teach your kids by correcting, you teach them by being a shining fucking example and getting the fuck out of their way. Clueless, overeager parenting is fucking everywhere. These people think they are so clever too. They can’t bear the idea that the best parent isn’t the one that tries to assimilate them.

NEVER show your emotion for your girlfriend because she will leave you.

Pretty sure you are NOT any sort of "male model"...but whatever folks need I spose....

I always smile or laugh when I’m not supposed tooo it pisses me off Jocko , I can’t help it 😞🥲
