In this episode of Relaxed Male, your host Bryan Goodwin dives deep into the intricacies of personal responsibility and self-awareness in relationships. Bryan discusses how men often become their own worst enemies by repeating the same actions and expecting different results. He emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's thoughts and actions to improve personal circumstances and relationships.
Bryan shares his personal journey of overcoming frustration and blame, highlighting how men tend to point fingers at others, especially their partners, for their problems. He explains how this mindset invites unnecessary suffering and prevents men from living life on their own terms.
The episode explores the concept of "the model," which suggests that our thoughts create our emotions, and how understanding this can lead to better relationship dynamics. Bryan encourages listeners to examine what they make circumstances mean about themselves and to challenge the thoughts that lead to negative emotions.
Bryan also discusses the "97% rule," advising men to hold back from saying most of the impulsive things that come to mind, and instead focus on building connection and intimacy with their partners. He stresses the importance of understanding and communication in relationships, urging men to listen to their partners and create circumstances that foster love and intimacy.
Throughout the episode, Bryan offers insights into how men can stop punishing themselves and their partners by giving up their "manuals"—the set of expectations they have for others—and instead focus on what they can control: their own thoughts and actions. He invites listeners to explore coaching as a tool for personal growth and better relationships.
In this episode of The Relaxed Male, host Brian Goodwin delves into the common pitfalls men face in relationships, particularly the tendency to blame others for personal problems. Brian shares insights on how men can take control of their relationship issues by understanding that the root of many problems lies within their own thoughts and actions. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and intentional living, urging listeners to examine the meaning they attach to circumstances and how these interpretations affect their emotions and relationships.
Brian discusses the "model" concept, which explains how circumstances trigger thoughts, leading to emotions and actions. He highlights the significance of recognizing and changing negative thought patterns to improve personal and relational well-being. Through personal anecdotes and relatable examples, Brian illustrates how misplaced blame and lack of communication can lead to unnecessary suffering and relationship breakdowns.
The episode also covers the "97% rule," encouraging men to refrain from saying most of the negative thoughts they might have, and the concept of "manuals," which are unspoken expectations we have for others. Brian advocates for letting go of these manuals to foster healthier relationships.
Listeners are invited to explore coaching as a means to gain clarity and improve their relationships, with Brian offering a free coaching session to help men step out of their comfort zones and embrace personal growth.

Bryan Goodwin (00:00):

and we are Tell I'm gonna let you know talking about how you can have control, you know Okay. Of your relationship prop. A lot of times This week, I will have number 258. Show idea. And I will take show ideas,
(00:24):
the topic Yes. Show topics is the relaxed mail. From everyday mail. Show that comes to you each week helping a man to remove the nice guy from their life so they can actually live their life on their terms.
Join the host of certified coach Brian Goodwin as he helps
men step out of their heads and become free from the thoughts that bother him. He's a young man. So he's
(00:48):
he's
a lot of it, I guess, would be from inexperience.
And it was
I was wanting to go in and talk about how
you are your own worst enemy half the time, and it's because
you do stuff and expect a different result.
And then you try it again and you get the same result in a disastrous
(01:10):
outcome at the same time.
I was
I was at a point where I was getting a little bit frustrated because it was like, dude, come on.
You've got to
stop trying to blame everybody else for your problems
and the and the issues that you have in your life. And this is what I was kinda building on. And
(01:31):
I let this I actually let this episode set for a couple of weeks because at first the first episode that I
wrote out, I actually whenever I wrote show notes out,
it was
honestly, you could tell I was frustrated. There was a lot of very sharp cutting comments
out there, and I was like, okay, dude. We this isn't helping me. This isn't helping the the
(01:54):
you men who are listening to this show.
And so I'll let it set, let my
thoughts on everything kinda simmer. And
this is what ended up boiling and boiling to the top. And
because
we do have control of our relationship problems.
And sadly,
men,
this is the big problem that we always run into
(02:16):
is that
we want to blame
our wife for not
wanting to
improve herself.
We are wanting our
ourselves.
We we point to our to other people as to why we can't get,
say ourselves in shape
or
(02:36):
accomplish whatever it is that we're wanting to accomplish.
Yet, you do
have control
over a lot more than you want to.
And
the problem that we often run into
is that we bring in our own suffering.
We invite suffering into our lives. We
(02:57):
wanna do
we know those guys who they
never have money. They're always complaining that they don't have any money. They can't get
x, y, and or z taken care of because they don't have enough money. They ain't making enough money. They're making more money than they've ever made in their life,
yet they don't have enough money.
(03:17):
And
every time you see them, they've got something new on.
Oh, I can't pay, I can't pay my electricity bill. It's too dang high. And they look down, and there's a $150
worth of sneaker on their feet.
Man, I don't know. I can't afford gas to be able to to get to work.
You just spent $30 on a t shirt, man.
(03:40):
How am I supposed to get anything done? I can't make enough money to to do anything. I can barely even pay attention.
Well, funny enough, I every time I see you, you've got a a Starbucks cup in your hand.
Our problems are because of us, and more specifically,
if you wanna get a lot more minute about it
(04:00):
minute, if you want
what
our problems
are because we aren't
intentionally
thinking about what
we're doing.
We walk through life.
I believe Eckhart Tolle
often talks about
going through life asleep.
(04:21):
And a lot of people, not just men,
women too,
humans as a whole
go through life
asleep.
They don't apply a thought to what they're doing.
We don't have enough money
as they're
buying that Starbucks.
I'm flat broke
(04:41):
spending $200
on a pair of sneakers.
And I get
why we build
or why we spend that type of money on sneakers
because we feel that we have
we feel better because we've traded value for value, but then we all these are the same people wearing $200 sneakers who say
(05:02):
corporations are just greedy. No. You're the one idiot who goes off and buys
$200
sneakers.
If they couldn't sell $200
sneakers, sneakers would be $50
again,
or they'd be a $100.
And if they wouldn't come down on their price, you would wind up buying
(05:22):
a different brand.
And we run into this so many times. We
complain and, I mean, society as a whole.
I grew up
with the different, you know,
different
marital jokes about, you know, like, take my wife, please, or,
or, you know, just the fact that, you know,
(05:44):
wedding cakes have, have been scientifically proven to reduce a woman's libido by 78%.
You know, these are these are jokes that I've grown up with that have been in society for years years years, even generations.
Yet the root of what that problem actually is is not that our wife is frigid.
(06:05):
It is not that our wife is this
bitch that won't
that won't do anything, just sits on the bed and and and
and plays on her phone all day.
No. The problem
is it has nothing to do with your wife.
The problem
doesn't have anything to do with the circumstances
(06:26):
in general.
Because you see, our thoughts
create
our emotions. We have this whole thing called the model.
I've mentioned it before, and I I love mentioning it as many times as I can. The model
is
a series of actions
that happen because of a circumstance.
We often wanna run around and say, our wife isn't doing anything.
(06:49):
Our wife is,
you know,
just
stays at home, does nothing. She comes home, the house is dirty, yada yada yada. Alright? And I get that can be frustrating to come home to a dirty house day after day after day
and to find and to see your wife sitting there on on the couch
(07:10):
and
supper's not started,
and you go later on that night after everything's done, dishes are clean, you've you cook supper, you put supper,
up, you wash the put the dishes in the dishwasher, started the dishwasher,
and you go lay in bed and you start wanting to get a little frisky and she's, no.
(07:31):
Not tonight. I'm too tired.
And you're like, how are you being tired? You what have you done all day? These are things that we we think
and we get upset about,
but it's not even the fact that she sat around all day. She didn't do what you perceived to be nothing
and then turns around and says, no, I'm not in the mood for lovings.
(07:53):
It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with the thought that you have of those circumstances.
You came home, your wife was still in her pajamas sitting on the couch.
You're making that mean something.
You're making that mean
something about
you.
Same thing is when with meal being none not cooked. What are you making a lack of a cooked meal mean
(08:20):
to you and about you?
You wanna have sex and your wife rejects that
saying she's too tired, even though you perceive that she hasn't done anything.
And
what do you make that mean
to you
and about you?
When you have that thought, when you pay attention, you understand what that thought is. That thought, then you understand why you're getting angry
(08:47):
about
why you came home.
Because you're you come home, see a dirty house, and your wife just sitting there and you're having a thought, not not well, may not be necessarily this particular thought, but you're having the thought of
she doesn't care,
which gives you
(09:08):
a sense of disempowerment,
a sense of
she doesn't love me. So we're not going that's too vulnerable of a thought to have.
So, we turn to
a different thought
that is along the lines of, well, she's freaking lazy.
I see she hasn't gotten off her butt today
or something to that effect.
(09:29):
That first thought
is the root.
What you're making her inactions mean about you.
You're
not worthy
of her
effort to, a, look nice, b, clean up the house,
c, cook dinner,
d,
(09:50):
make love to you.
For you, none of that. That's why that's what you're seeing. That's what
you're thinking something along those lines.
And so, yeah, you get grumpy. You get mad. You get
you start trying to figure out why is what it is about
you.
Whenever I was going through
(10:11):
the struggles
of roommate syndrome,
which lasted a good
almost 15 years
of me just sitting in the in the the swamp,
complaining that my pants were wet and dirty,
not doing anything to improve it.
I had,
(10:31):
I beat myself up. I drove
myself damn near freaking crazy.
Trying to figure out what it is
that I'm doing wrong.
Why am I
not pleasing? This is one reason why you have mail enhancement,
scam pills
at the local convenience store.
(10:54):
It isn't because the world is,
needs men with a 10 inch ding dingling.
It's because men don't feel or or trying to figure out what is it that I'm doing wrong. Why does my wife not wanna have sex with me? What is Why do I Why am I not worthy of the love for my wife, the woman I'm committed to?
(11:15):
And we keep bashing our heads
into a brick wall
without ever realizing the fact that we actually have control
over ourselves.
We have control over our thoughts,
our actions, our feelings, and our our results.
Hell, there was a time I got so wound up about
(11:37):
why my wife didn't wanna have sex
that I was trying to find ways
of reducing my libido.
Going almost to the point of going, well,
maybe I just maybe I am somebody who is
I'm I'm tied into the wrong person. Maybe I've got to either a,
(11:58):
leave her, leave the kids,
which is something I don't wanna do. So if I don't wanna leave
the family,
then I guess I've gotta change
something about myself.
Going as far as looking at like monkshood and, and,
and seeing if there was any other, any other type of, you know, holistic form of
(12:21):
let's kill the
libido as much as we can.
Because I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out
why
my wife didn't care about me, didn't care about sex.
And
it turned out that it branched out from several different
aspects.
1,
(12:41):
we weren't having the conversations we used to have.
We weren't having
the discussions that we used to have.
There's a lot of stuff
we weren't doing
that often led
to sex.
Now, was there a lot of fights and a lot of snarky moments
(13:03):
and words that were exchanged that
would turn my wife off
from having sex? Yeah. Yeah. And that, again, my fault.
I'm the one who said those. I did not, that time, did not realize the 97%
rule,
but I eventually
learned about the 97% rule. 97% of the stupid shit you really wanna say,
(13:29):
don't say it. Just just
bite your tongue, swallow the blood, carry on.
And so a lot of us guys,
because we don't realize we are
struggling the way we are, we know we're struggling, we just don't know
who to point a finger at on the struggle
and why we are suffering the way we're suffering,
(13:51):
we wanna blame our wife. This is where so much of the
divorces actually come from.
This is where so many of the fights
come from because we take a comment and we make it personal.
It has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with what that per other person is feeling.
Our suffering comes from the fact that we
(14:12):
we
are trying to control
other people.
Because a lot and a lot of the guys like you who are listening to this show right now,
you're
possibly have tried to get your wife to start going on the self improvement
journey with you.
And she's like, no, I don't no. She you may buy her a book and I bought a couple of books that really pissed her off, pissed my wife off.
(14:41):
Why? Well, because
it wasn't
it wasn't
where she thought she was.
It's where I thought she was.
And so that's where a lot we can we often cause fights, even meaningful. Meaning,
we're coming at it from a loving place and we still will make fights, but it's not because of what of the circumstance. The circumstances
(15:06):
are always neutral. They are not good nor are they bad. They are not positive nor are they negative
until you apply a thought
to it.
And you can control circumstances
to a point because of your actions.
Because you can only control 2 things. You can control your thought, you control your action, and that is all you actually can control.
(15:30):
So
when your wife gets upset,
you can make that mean
something personally.
And when she gets mad at you because of something
and you take it personally, well, you're going to lash back.
But yet,
the circumstance that your wife is mad at you,
(15:53):
you still have
full control
of your faculties.
You have the ability to decide, we're going to
I'm gonna listen to her complain.
I'm not gonna say anything.
I'm gonna come at this problem
through the prism
of understanding,
of calm, of
(16:14):
of no panic.
And when you're able to do that,
you really
shake up the paradigm.
But till you start taking control of this your
actions, your thoughts, your emotions, your actions, your results,
you're just gonna live a very unintentional life. You're gonna go through life sleeping still.
(16:38):
You're gonna look at circumstances
and you think you can move them. You're gonna
bash right into a mountain thinking that you're you can move it.
And you can't move that mountain.
You're going to scream at an elephant
thinking that you can hurt its feelings.
There are more circumstances that you can't control
(16:59):
than circumstances than you can.
And all of the pain in your life
comes from the thoughts that you have about
those circumstances.
When you look at different points
in your life,
the painful ones,
yeah, they're not fun,
(17:19):
but we often find out that they are needed.
And those
needed
pain points
come when we accept the fact that, yeah, we're gonna have to deal with this pain.
And the pain doesn't come
from the event itself. It is comes from the fact that we are resisting
(17:40):
that pain. We are resisting
the
what we make
the
circumstance mean.
Our wife doesn't love us. And so we start to become
obsessed
and start spinning out
over the fact of why does our wife not love us? Just because she didn't have sex with us.
(18:03):
Well, why does she not have sex with you? Maybe she's got problems that she hasn't expressed to you. And that's a good example. How many times have you gone through
had been told a certain piece, a bit of information, you had an event occur, say, oh,
my wife is leaving me and you have
(18:25):
sorrow or
or anger. Say you got angry. Oh, okay. Let's do something where you got angry because that the anger is one of those funny emotions. It's actually a bodyguard
for fear.
And so, say
your
your best friend just called you up and said there his wife is moving out or has kicked him out
(18:48):
and you start to react, oh my gosh. You know, you know, you're getting angry at at that circumstance. You're getting angry at her
And then
you got a little bit more information
about why she kicked him out.
And all of a sudden you're like, oh, wait a minute. You changed your mind.
All of a sudden you had a different set of beliefs.
(19:11):
You had a different thought
about why
about the actual change of what the
what was happening, you got more information, and all of a sudden, that more information, you come to find out, oh,
he was seeing a girl he had a girlfriend on the side. Well, yeah, you can understand why his wife would be upset and would kick him out of the house.
(19:33):
Everything we have
that causes pain, suffering,
fear, uncertainty,
disempowerment,
whatever
emotion
that you deem uncomfortable
and you feel
happens
because
of a thought.
So you wanna start paying attention to what is it that you make
(19:57):
an event
mean
And ask yourself,
what are you making that circum that thought, that event, that circumstance
mean
about
you?
We We can say what it means to you also. That's that's also also a good thing to do, but the more important one is what are you making it mean
(20:20):
about you?
And understand that your brain's going to try to pattern the blow
with an I don't know. Because if you I don't if you don't know, then how are you supposed to answer the question? Because you don't know. You know?
Right? You don't know. So it that's the end of the line. Right? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I'm ignorant. So so it's there's no
(20:41):
no no other thing to be talking about because, you know,
I don't know.
What if you did know?
Because you do know. It's inside your head. You have the reasons why.
You just have to cut through the line of I don't know b s
and examine
what you're making
(21:01):
the circumstance mean about you. Your wife doesn't wanna have sex. What does that what do you make that mean about you? You get home and the house is disaster. What are you making that mean about you? Your best friend didn't invite you to a trip. What are you making that mean about you?
It sounds selfish, and, yeah, it is because we are all we all have our favorite radio station of wwfi
(21:25):
FM,
w I I f m. That's it. W I what in it for me?
We are always looking out for number numero uno.
We do good things so that we feel good about ourselves.
We help others
because we feel good about it. You wouldn't help somebody
(21:46):
out if it made you feel like crap.
That's why victims don't get don't get respect
because they do not
appreciate what they're getting. They get helped out, and then they're back in the swill again,
hoping that you'll rescue them once more
because
you just start to realize
(22:07):
there's no good feeling in having to constantly,
repeatedly
rescue the same person over and over again. It becomes a flipping burden,
becomes a pain in the butt.
So what do you make
everything mean
about
you?
Look at that particular question,
(22:28):
examine that question.
At anytime you find yourself getting angry
or self righteous
or just darn it. Yeah. I'm
I'm irked now.
What is that? What are you making
that event, that circumstance mean about you?
Because the moment you're able to ask that,
the sooner you can actually come up with a really good answer.
(22:50):
And then you get to start changing the the the
thought. Because all of a sudden, if you're like if you think, well, because she doesn't love me.
Well, is that really true?
Is that really, really true?
Or
is that just
the the hurt feelings
talking? The is that just the thought
(23:11):
that she doesn't love you because she's still saying hanging around.
You say I love you. She says I love you back.
So what type of proof do you need that she actually does love you?
Well, it'd be nice to know. You would like to have sex because sex feels really freaking awesome and it does release the oxytocin
hormones,
the bonding hormones, the hormone that lets you fall in love
(23:34):
and lets you know that you're loved.
Yes. It does, but that's just
a chemical in the brain.
There's other ways of getting that oxytocin
bump. It may not be as powerful and
bang like like a good orgasm does,
but
there are other ways.
Sitting next to your wife.
(23:57):
Setting shoulder to shoulder. Putting your hand on her lap. Holding hands,
wrapping her up in your arms.
No sex involved,
but yet you will still get
that oxytocin.
So,
wanna ask yourself,
why does she do what she's do what she does?
(24:17):
Why did she take your hand off her boob?
Why did she go off and and tell you not tonight? She's got a headache for the 7th night in a row.
That was something growing up. 1st getting,
1st being married to my wife.
She had a headache so often, I actually was talking to neurologists trying to figure out what in the hell was going on.
(24:41):
Until a very smart and very caring and understanding doctor Kummel,
talked to said, well,
that's just a wife's way of saying she is not interested
in that.
And that's kind of the start of where the whole
women don't like sex thought,
theory came from.
Do they like sex? Yes, they do.
(25:04):
But
there is
it doesn't hold as high of a
importance in their life
as it does to men because that we are physical beings
while women are more
mental beings. I was just gonna sleep mental and I was like, no, no, you mental man, you know. So
(25:27):
so you have
to to go and stop
taking everything she does and making it personal.
Because when we do that, we start punishing ourselves. We get start getting angry because she they did something we don't like. And so we're gonna punish them. And so we get into a fight, which breaks apart the whole,
the whole sense of connection that we want.
(25:49):
So to
punish the other person, we're punishing ourselves.
We know our wives love to do that. And us guys, we do the same damn thing. We just do it in a different way.
But we know many times where the we went out and had a went out and talked to with friends, came home a little, came home drunk, not just even a little drunk. We came home plowed
(26:12):
and wanted to get get cozy with the wife. And she said, no.
I'm mad at you.
Use sex as a weapon.
It happens.
But what you make
that punishment mean
is one thing. But, at the same time, she's punishing herself.
She's punishing keeping herself from the ability of having
(26:36):
intimate connection
because she's mad at you. I'm gonna teach him. I'm not gonna give him hugs, kisses, or sex.
And then
3, 4, 5 years of that down the road, all of a sudden, she's like, he never love hugs or kisses me no more. Well, it's because you won't let him.
Guys would do the same thing. We get mad at our wife, so what do we do? We go out into the go out and instead of building connection,
(27:02):
building up that connection that we want, we storm off into the garage and go tinker on a car, or we do this or that, or we go out, we get drunk, we take we get mad and punish ourselves by tearing apart our connections.
We destroy the intimacy that we need to have
Instead of of going off and going, well, fine. I'm gonna show her. I'm gonna teach her blah blah blah.
(27:27):
What do we need to do is we need to actually lean into the intimacy that we need.
You wanna have more sex? Then give her a reason to want to be sexual with you.
Work on all those different intimacies
that are out there.
Got a whole list.
They'll be listed in the in the show notes
(27:47):
of the other intimacies,
the 10 other intimacies that are in there besides or 9 others besides for physical.
Yeah, man. I get it. I love sex as much as you do.
Sex feels good. It's great. It's amazing. This is why we get ourselves tied in a knot and wrapped around the axle around porn.
(28:07):
We'll stop
trying to pursue our girlfriend because we can look at a virtual girl get boned by some other dude.
Again, we're punishing ourselves. Well, if I can't have sex, I'm gonna at least see somebody else have it. Alright. Well, fine. Watch somebody else have it, beat off, and guess what you're not having?
(28:27):
You're not having sex. You're having a
distant second
to a good vaginal orgasm from your wife.
You're punishing yourself
with the thoughts that you're having, that you're going to get you're gonna get back at her or she's gonna get back at you. And so you're gonna get back at her and by back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
(28:50):
And the thing is is y'all both of y'all, all of us,
honestly,
need to give up our manual.
And if you don't know what a manual is, a manual is a
set of instructions
that we have
for anybody around us to have them be may
if they follow these rules,
(29:11):
we will feel better about ourselves.
This is how you make sure I'm happy is is what that means.
And the problem that we have with that manual
is that people don't care about it.
The only person that the manual is really important to is you.
Your manual is very important to you. Well,
(29:31):
boss wouldn't give me
the give me the job that I wanted, so
screw him.
First off, you didn't tell the boss you wanted the wanted that job.
Yeah, dude. No. You hinted at it.
You kinda was like, well, it'd be kinda not you were kinda mealy mouthed. You were wishy washy about it.
You really wanted the wanted that position. You wanted that, that
(29:55):
that project,
you would have gone off and said,
hey,
boss. I would
I'd like to have that. I think I would like to have the responsibility.
I believe I'm
well,
I'm in a position to be able to help that, that
that widget be properly built and and sold. I don't know. I'm just I'm I'm winging it and I'm sucking at it.
(30:19):
But any either way, we don't
when it comes to our manual, we don't
share
with other people, 1. And when we do share and people don't follow us, we get really bent out of shape.
But the thing is is you really don't wanna control another person.
They're not going they're gonna come up with a better way to have you
(30:40):
be
feel loved
than through your own own
manual.
I like to have sex every night. Well, yeah, I would too.
But at the same time,
I would you rather have your wife
just lay like a a limp dish rag? Because, well, you said you wanted to have sex every night. Oh, okay. Here. You have have the sex that you want. Or would you rather have have her showed up to bed
(31:09):
fully willing
and desiring
to have sex with you?
Well, can't she have both? Well, technically, yeah. She could actually have sex every night with you and do it
willingly,
but that has to be her decision.
That has to be something that she wants to do. That's her thought
because remember, you can only control your thoughts, your actions. You can't control your wife's thoughts or her actions.
(31:35):
You can't make her think she wants to be horny.
What you can do is you can create the circumstances
that will lead that could, not will, could
lead her
to want to have sex with you.
Being there, being caring, listening to what she's saying, not for not fixing what she's saying,
(31:57):
but hearing what she's saying,
that is where that emotional support that she's always complaining about, women always want us to have just want them to emotionally support us. What that means is
they want you to hear them
talk about their day.
That's how they get emotional support. It's not you standing there, go patting them on the back going, yeah. You're right. You should be should be mad or you should be happy or you should be horny or you should be whatever.
(32:23):
It's yeah.
That's
just sitting there, listening. A craze occasionally grunting, nodding your head, and affirming the fact that you've actually heard what they talked about.
You do that and they're going she's going to have
a better response
to your, you know,
to your advances.
(32:44):
When you feed the emotional well,
when you provide circumstances that allows her to fall in love with you
and to feel
love,
then she will have and then she's going to have a better opportunity
to show that she's loved.
Till you do that,
y'all are both just gonna bounce off of each other. You're gonna walk around being pissed off the world because you're pissed off the world,
(33:11):
not because the world did anything wrong to you. It's just that you are angry
and you want to stop feeling angry.
The way you stop feeling angry is you
change your thoughts.
You give up the manual.
You start
setting up circumstances
so that the other people in your life
(33:33):
feel the love that you want to feel.
And if you wanna know how to be able to do all that,
then hit me up.

So, guys, I wanna say thank you very much for listening. If this or anything on that was mentioned on this, show rang a bell,
(35:29):
share it out on Facebook,
Mastodon,
Instagram, wherever it is that you you have a group of guys that you're talking to and let them know, hey. There is a show out there that's all about the men.
All about helping men become better men in their relationships.
Because when we become better men, our wives become better. Our lives become better. Our kids become better because we're no longer stomping around being these moody
(35:56):
moody dudes that are just all grump grumbly and and
and pissy.
We actually
know
why we're being angry, why we're
pissed off, and we know how
to change that.
So guys, with that, I wanna say thanks so much for listening. Y'all take care. Catch you all next week.
Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to Racks Mill. I'm your host, Brian, and I'm having problems in a room. Much for taking time out of your day. Point coming or Sit down. Have a little to the show,
and we are Tell I'm gonna let you know talking about how you can have control, you know Okay. Of your relationship prop. A lot of times This week, I will have number 258. Show idea. And I will take show ideas,
(00:24):
the topic Yes. Show topics is the relaxed mail. From everyday mail. Show that comes to you each week helping a man to remove the nice guy from their life so they can actually live their life on their terms.
Join the host of certified coach Brian Goodwin as he helps
men step out of their heads and become free from the thoughts that bother him. He's a young man. So he's
(00:48):
he's
a lot of it, I guess, would be from inexperience.
And it was
I was wanting to go in and talk about how
you are your own worst enemy half the time, and it's because
you do stuff and expect a different result.
And then you try it again and you get the same result in a disastrous
(01:10):
outcome at the same time.
I was
I was at a point where I was getting a little bit frustrated because it was like, dude, come on.
You've got to
stop trying to blame everybody else for your problems
and the and the issues that you have in your life. And this is what I was kinda building on. And
(01:31):
I let this I actually let this episode set for a couple of weeks because at first the first episode that I
wrote out, I actually whenever I wrote show notes out,
it was
honestly, you could tell I was frustrated. There was a lot of very sharp cutting comments
out there, and I was like, okay, dude. We this isn't helping me. This isn't helping the the
(01:54):
you men who are listening to this show.
And so I'll let it set, let my
thoughts on everything kinda simmer. And
this is what ended up boiling and boiling to the top. And
because
we do have control of our relationship problems.
And sadly,
men,
this is the big problem that we always run into
(02:16):
is that
we want to blame
our wife for not
wanting to
improve herself.
We are wanting our
ourselves.
We we point to our to other people as to why we can't get,
say ourselves in shape
or
(02:36):
accomplish whatever it is that we're wanting to accomplish.
Yet, you do
have control
over a lot more than you want to.
And
the problem that we often run into
is that we bring in our own suffering.
We invite suffering into our lives. We
(02:57):
wanna do
we know those guys who they
never have money. They're always complaining that they don't have any money. They can't get
x, y, and or z taken care of because they don't have enough money. They ain't making enough money. They're making more money than they've ever made in their life,
yet they don't have enough money.
(03:17):
And
every time you see them, they've got something new on.
Oh, I can't pay, I can't pay my electricity bill. It's too dang high. And they look down, and there's a $150
worth of sneaker on their feet.
Man, I don't know. I can't afford gas to be able to to get to work.
You just spent $30 on a t shirt, man.
(03:40):
How am I supposed to get anything done? I can't make enough money to to do anything. I can barely even pay attention.
Well, funny enough, I every time I see you, you've got a a Starbucks cup in your hand.
Our problems are because of us, and more specifically,
if you wanna get a lot more minute about it
(04:00):
minute, if you want
what
our problems
are because we aren't
intentionally
thinking about what
we're doing.
We walk through life.
I believe Eckhart Tolle
often talks about
going through life asleep.
(04:21):
And a lot of people, not just men,
women too,
humans as a whole
go through life
asleep.
They don't apply a thought to what they're doing.
We don't have enough money
as they're
buying that Starbucks.
I'm flat broke
(04:41):
spending $200
on a pair of sneakers.
And I get
why we build
or why we spend that type of money on sneakers
because we feel that we have
we feel better because we've traded value for value, but then we all these are the same people wearing $200 sneakers who say
(05:02):
corporations are just greedy. No. You're the one idiot who goes off and buys
$200
sneakers.
If they couldn't sell $200
sneakers, sneakers would be $50
again,
or they'd be a $100.
And if they wouldn't come down on their price, you would wind up buying
(05:22):
a different brand.
And we run into this so many times. We
complain and, I mean, society as a whole.
I grew up
with the different, you know,
different
marital jokes about, you know, like, take my wife, please, or,
or, you know, just the fact that, you know,
(05:44):
wedding cakes have, have been scientifically proven to reduce a woman's libido by 78%.
You know, these are these are jokes that I've grown up with that have been in society for years years years, even generations.
Yet the root of what that problem actually is is not that our wife is frigid.
(06:05):
It is not that our wife is this
bitch that won't
that won't do anything, just sits on the bed and and and
and plays on her phone all day.
No. The problem
is it has nothing to do with your wife.
The problem
doesn't have anything to do with the circumstances
(06:26):
in general.
Because you see, our thoughts
create
our emotions. We have this whole thing called the model.
I've mentioned it before, and I I love mentioning it as many times as I can. The model
is
a series of actions
that happen because of a circumstance.
We often wanna run around and say, our wife isn't doing anything.
(06:49):
Our wife is,
you know,
just
stays at home, does nothing. She comes home, the house is dirty, yada yada yada. Alright? And I get that can be frustrating to come home to a dirty house day after day after day
and to find and to see your wife sitting there on on the couch
(07:10):
and
supper's not started,
and you go later on that night after everything's done, dishes are clean, you've you cook supper, you put supper,
up, you wash the put the dishes in the dishwasher, started the dishwasher,
and you go lay in bed and you start wanting to get a little frisky and she's, no.
(07:31):
Not tonight. I'm too tired.
And you're like, how are you being tired? You what have you done all day? These are things that we we think
and we get upset about,
but it's not even the fact that she sat around all day. She didn't do what you perceived to be nothing
and then turns around and says, no, I'm not in the mood for lovings.
(07:53):
It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with the thought that you have of those circumstances.
You came home, your wife was still in her pajamas sitting on the couch.
You're making that mean something.
You're making that mean
something about
you.
Same thing is when with meal being none not cooked. What are you making a lack of a cooked meal mean
(08:20):
to you and about you?
You wanna have sex and your wife rejects that
saying she's too tired, even though you perceive that she hasn't done anything.
And
what do you make that mean
to you
and about you?
When you have that thought, when you pay attention, you understand what that thought is. That thought, then you understand why you're getting angry
(08:47):
about
why you came home.
Because you're you come home, see a dirty house, and your wife just sitting there and you're having a thought, not not well, may not be necessarily this particular thought, but you're having the thought of
she doesn't care,
which gives you
(09:08):
a sense of disempowerment,
a sense of
she doesn't love me. So we're not going that's too vulnerable of a thought to have.
So, we turn to
a different thought
that is along the lines of, well, she's freaking lazy.
I see she hasn't gotten off her butt today
or something to that effect.
(09:29):
That first thought
is the root.
What you're making her inactions mean about you.
You're
not worthy
of her
effort to, a, look nice, b, clean up the house,
c, cook dinner,
d,
(09:50):
make love to you.
For you, none of that. That's why that's what you're seeing. That's what
you're thinking something along those lines.
And so, yeah, you get grumpy. You get mad. You get
you start trying to figure out why is what it is about
you.
Whenever I was going through
(10:11):
the struggles
of roommate syndrome,
which lasted a good
almost 15 years
of me just sitting in the in the the swamp,
complaining that my pants were wet and dirty,
not doing anything to improve it.
I had,
(10:31):
I beat myself up. I drove
myself damn near freaking crazy.
Trying to figure out what it is
that I'm doing wrong.
Why am I
not pleasing? This is one reason why you have mail enhancement,
scam pills
at the local convenience store.
(10:54):
It isn't because the world is,
needs men with a 10 inch ding dingling.
It's because men don't feel or or trying to figure out what is it that I'm doing wrong. Why does my wife not wanna have sex with me? What is Why do I Why am I not worthy of the love for my wife, the woman I'm committed to?
(11:15):
And we keep bashing our heads
into a brick wall
without ever realizing the fact that we actually have control
over ourselves.
We have control over our thoughts,
our actions, our feelings, and our our results.
Hell, there was a time I got so wound up about
(11:37):
why my wife didn't wanna have sex
that I was trying to find ways
of reducing my libido.
Going almost to the point of going, well,
maybe I just maybe I am somebody who is
I'm I'm tied into the wrong person. Maybe I've got to either a,
(11:58):
leave her, leave the kids,
which is something I don't wanna do. So if I don't wanna leave
the family,
then I guess I've gotta change
something about myself.
Going as far as looking at like monkshood and, and,
and seeing if there was any other, any other type of, you know, holistic form of
(12:21):
let's kill the
libido as much as we can.
Because I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out
why
my wife didn't care about me, didn't care about sex.
And
it turned out that it branched out from several different
aspects.
1,
(12:41):
we weren't having the conversations we used to have.
We weren't having
the discussions that we used to have.
There's a lot of stuff
we weren't doing
that often led
to sex.
Now, was there a lot of fights and a lot of snarky moments
(13:03):
and words that were exchanged that
would turn my wife off
from having sex? Yeah. Yeah. And that, again, my fault.
I'm the one who said those. I did not, that time, did not realize the 97%
rule,
but I eventually
learned about the 97% rule. 97% of the stupid shit you really wanna say,
(13:29):
don't say it. Just just
bite your tongue, swallow the blood, carry on.
And so a lot of us guys,
because we don't realize we are
struggling the way we are, we know we're struggling, we just don't know
who to point a finger at on the struggle
and why we are suffering the way we're suffering,
(13:51):
we wanna blame our wife. This is where so much of the
divorces actually come from.
This is where so many of the fights
come from because we take a comment and we make it personal.
It has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with what that per other person is feeling.
Our suffering comes from the fact that we
(14:12):
we
are trying to control
other people.
Because a lot and a lot of the guys like you who are listening to this show right now,
you're
possibly have tried to get your wife to start going on the self improvement
journey with you.
And she's like, no, I don't no. She you may buy her a book and I bought a couple of books that really pissed her off, pissed my wife off.
(14:41):
Why? Well, because
it wasn't
it wasn't
where she thought she was.
It's where I thought she was.
And so that's where a lot we can we often cause fights, even meaningful. Meaning,
we're coming at it from a loving place and we still will make fights, but it's not because of what of the circumstance. The circumstances
(15:06):
are always neutral. They are not good nor are they bad. They are not positive nor are they negative
until you apply a thought
to it.
And you can control circumstances
to a point because of your actions.
Because you can only control 2 things. You can control your thought, you control your action, and that is all you actually can control.
(15:30):
So
when your wife gets upset,
you can make that mean
something personally.
And when she gets mad at you because of something
and you take it personally, well, you're going to lash back.
But yet,
the circumstance that your wife is mad at you,
(15:53):
you still have
full control
of your faculties.
You have the ability to decide, we're going to
I'm gonna listen to her complain.
I'm not gonna say anything.
I'm gonna come at this problem
through the prism
of understanding,
of calm, of
(16:14):
of no panic.
And when you're able to do that,
you really
shake up the paradigm.
But till you start taking control of this your
actions, your thoughts, your emotions, your actions, your results,
you're just gonna live a very unintentional life. You're gonna go through life sleeping still.
(16:38):
You're gonna look at circumstances
and you think you can move them. You're gonna
bash right into a mountain thinking that you're you can move it.
And you can't move that mountain.
You're going to scream at an elephant
thinking that you can hurt its feelings.
There are more circumstances that you can't control
(16:59):
than circumstances than you can.
And all of the pain in your life
comes from the thoughts that you have about
those circumstances.
When you look at different points
in your life,
the painful ones,
yeah, they're not fun,
(17:19):
but we often find out that they are needed.
And those
needed
pain points
come when we accept the fact that, yeah, we're gonna have to deal with this pain.
And the pain doesn't come
from the event itself. It is comes from the fact that we are resisting
(17:40):
that pain. We are resisting
the
what we make
the
circumstance mean.
Our wife doesn't love us. And so we start to become
obsessed
and start spinning out
over the fact of why does our wife not love us? Just because she didn't have sex with us.
(18:03):
Well, why does she not have sex with you? Maybe she's got problems that she hasn't expressed to you. And that's a good example. How many times have you gone through
had been told a certain piece, a bit of information, you had an event occur, say, oh,
my wife is leaving me and you have
(18:25):
sorrow or
or anger. Say you got angry. Oh, okay. Let's do something where you got angry because that the anger is one of those funny emotions. It's actually a bodyguard
for fear.
And so, say
your
your best friend just called you up and said there his wife is moving out or has kicked him out
(18:48):
and you start to react, oh my gosh. You know, you know, you're getting angry at at that circumstance. You're getting angry at her
And then
you got a little bit more information
about why she kicked him out.
And all of a sudden you're like, oh, wait a minute. You changed your mind.
All of a sudden you had a different set of beliefs.
(19:11):
You had a different thought
about why
about the actual change of what the
what was happening, you got more information, and all of a sudden, that more information, you come to find out, oh,
he was seeing a girl he had a girlfriend on the side. Well, yeah, you can understand why his wife would be upset and would kick him out of the house.
(19:33):
Everything we have
that causes pain, suffering,
fear, uncertainty,
disempowerment,
whatever
emotion
that you deem uncomfortable
and you feel
happens
because
of a thought.
So you wanna start paying attention to what is it that you make
(19:57):
an event
mean
And ask yourself,
what are you making that circum that thought, that event, that circumstance
mean
about
you?
We We can say what it means to you also. That's that's also also a good thing to do, but the more important one is what are you making it mean
(20:20):
about you?
And understand that your brain's going to try to pattern the blow
with an I don't know. Because if you I don't if you don't know, then how are you supposed to answer the question? Because you don't know. You know?
Right? You don't know. So it that's the end of the line. Right? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I'm ignorant. So so it's there's no
(20:41):
no no other thing to be talking about because, you know,
I don't know.
What if you did know?
Because you do know. It's inside your head. You have the reasons why.
You just have to cut through the line of I don't know b s
and examine
what you're making
(21:01):
the circumstance mean about you. Your wife doesn't wanna have sex. What does that what do you make that mean about you? You get home and the house is disaster. What are you making that mean about you? Your best friend didn't invite you to a trip. What are you making that mean about you?
It sounds selfish, and, yeah, it is because we are all we all have our favorite radio station of wwfi
(21:25):
FM,
w I I f m. That's it. W I what in it for me?
We are always looking out for number numero uno.
We do good things so that we feel good about ourselves.
We help others
because we feel good about it. You wouldn't help somebody
(21:46):
out if it made you feel like crap.
That's why victims don't get don't get respect
because they do not
appreciate what they're getting. They get helped out, and then they're back in the swill again,
hoping that you'll rescue them once more
because
you just start to realize
(22:07):
there's no good feeling in having to constantly,
repeatedly
rescue the same person over and over again. It becomes a flipping burden,
becomes a pain in the butt.
So what do you make
everything mean
about
you?
Look at that particular question,
(22:28):
examine that question.
At anytime you find yourself getting angry
or self righteous
or just darn it. Yeah. I'm
I'm irked now.
What is that? What are you making
that event, that circumstance mean about you?
Because the moment you're able to ask that,
the sooner you can actually come up with a really good answer.
(22:50):
And then you get to start changing the the the
thought. Because all of a sudden, if you're like if you think, well, because she doesn't love me.
Well, is that really true?
Is that really, really true?
Or
is that just
the the hurt feelings
talking? The is that just the thought
(23:11):
that she doesn't love you because she's still saying hanging around.
You say I love you. She says I love you back.
So what type of proof do you need that she actually does love you?
Well, it'd be nice to know. You would like to have sex because sex feels really freaking awesome and it does release the oxytocin
hormones,
the bonding hormones, the hormone that lets you fall in love
(23:34):
and lets you know that you're loved.
Yes. It does, but that's just
a chemical in the brain.
There's other ways of getting that oxytocin
bump. It may not be as powerful and
bang like like a good orgasm does,
but
there are other ways.
Sitting next to your wife.
(23:57):
Setting shoulder to shoulder. Putting your hand on her lap. Holding hands,
wrapping her up in your arms.
No sex involved,
but yet you will still get
that oxytocin.
So,
wanna ask yourself,
why does she do what she's do what she does?
(24:17):
Why did she take your hand off her boob?
Why did she go off and and tell you not tonight? She's got a headache for the 7th night in a row.
That was something growing up. 1st getting,
1st being married to my wife.
She had a headache so often, I actually was talking to neurologists trying to figure out what in the hell was going on.
(24:41):
Until a very smart and very caring and understanding doctor Kummel,
talked to said, well,
that's just a wife's way of saying she is not interested
in that.
And that's kind of the start of where the whole
women don't like sex thought,
theory came from.
Do they like sex? Yes, they do.
(25:04):
But
there is
it doesn't hold as high of a
importance in their life
as it does to men because that we are physical beings
while women are more
mental beings. I was just gonna sleep mental and I was like, no, no, you mental man, you know. So
(25:27):
so you have
to to go and stop
taking everything she does and making it personal.
Because when we do that, we start punishing ourselves. We get start getting angry because she they did something we don't like. And so we're gonna punish them. And so we get into a fight, which breaks apart the whole,
the whole sense of connection that we want.
(25:49):
So to
punish the other person, we're punishing ourselves.
We know our wives love to do that. And us guys, we do the same damn thing. We just do it in a different way.
But we know many times where the we went out and had a went out and talked to with friends, came home a little, came home drunk, not just even a little drunk. We came home plowed
(26:12):
and wanted to get get cozy with the wife. And she said, no.
I'm mad at you.
Use sex as a weapon.
It happens.
But what you make
that punishment mean
is one thing. But, at the same time, she's punishing herself.
She's punishing keeping herself from the ability of having
(26:36):
intimate connection
because she's mad at you. I'm gonna teach him. I'm not gonna give him hugs, kisses, or sex.
And then
3, 4, 5 years of that down the road, all of a sudden, she's like, he never love hugs or kisses me no more. Well, it's because you won't let him.
Guys would do the same thing. We get mad at our wife, so what do we do? We go out into the go out and instead of building connection,
(27:02):
building up that connection that we want, we storm off into the garage and go tinker on a car, or we do this or that, or we go out, we get drunk, we take we get mad and punish ourselves by tearing apart our connections.
We destroy the intimacy that we need to have
Instead of of going off and going, well, fine. I'm gonna show her. I'm gonna teach her blah blah blah.
(27:27):
What do we need to do is we need to actually lean into the intimacy that we need.
You wanna have more sex? Then give her a reason to want to be sexual with you.
Work on all those different intimacies
that are out there.
Got a whole list.
They'll be listed in the in the show notes
(27:47):
of the other intimacies,
the 10 other intimacies that are in there besides or 9 others besides for physical.
Yeah, man. I get it. I love sex as much as you do.
Sex feels good. It's great. It's amazing. This is why we get ourselves tied in a knot and wrapped around the axle around porn.
(28:07):
We'll stop
trying to pursue our girlfriend because we can look at a virtual girl get boned by some other dude.
Again, we're punishing ourselves. Well, if I can't have sex, I'm gonna at least see somebody else have it. Alright. Well, fine. Watch somebody else have it, beat off, and guess what you're not having?
(28:27):
You're not having sex. You're having a
distant second
to a good vaginal orgasm from your wife.
You're punishing yourself
with the thoughts that you're having, that you're going to get you're gonna get back at her or she's gonna get back at you. And so you're gonna get back at her and by back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
(28:50):
And the thing is is y'all both of y'all, all of us,
honestly,
need to give up our manual.
And if you don't know what a manual is, a manual is a
set of instructions
that we have
for anybody around us to have them be may
if they follow these rules,
(29:11):
we will feel better about ourselves.
This is how you make sure I'm happy is is what that means.
And the problem that we have with that manual
is that people don't care about it.
The only person that the manual is really important to is you.
Your manual is very important to you. Well,
(29:31):
boss wouldn't give me
the give me the job that I wanted, so
screw him.
First off, you didn't tell the boss you wanted the wanted that job.
Yeah, dude. No. You hinted at it.
You kinda was like, well, it'd be kinda not you were kinda mealy mouthed. You were wishy washy about it.
You really wanted the wanted that position. You wanted that, that
(29:55):
that project,
you would have gone off and said,
hey,
boss. I would
I'd like to have that. I think I would like to have the responsibility.
I believe I'm
well,
I'm in a position to be able to help that, that
that widget be properly built and and sold. I don't know. I'm just I'm I'm winging it and I'm sucking at it.
(30:19):
But any either way, we don't
when it comes to our manual, we don't
share
with other people, 1. And when we do share and people don't follow us, we get really bent out of shape.
But the thing is is you really don't wanna control another person.
They're not going they're gonna come up with a better way to have you
(30:40):
be
feel loved
than through your own own
manual.
I like to have sex every night. Well, yeah, I would too.
But at the same time,
I would you rather have your wife
just lay like a a limp dish rag? Because, well, you said you wanted to have sex every night. Oh, okay. Here. You have have the sex that you want. Or would you rather have have her showed up to bed
(31:09):
fully willing
and desiring
to have sex with you?
Well, can't she have both? Well, technically, yeah. She could actually have sex every night with you and do it
willingly,
but that has to be her decision.
That has to be something that she wants to do. That's her thought
because remember, you can only control your thoughts, your actions. You can't control your wife's thoughts or her actions.
(31:35):
You can't make her think she wants to be horny.
What you can do is you can create the circumstances
that will lead that could, not will, could
lead her
to want to have sex with you.
Being there, being caring, listening to what she's saying, not for not fixing what she's saying,
(31:57):
but hearing what she's saying,
that is where that emotional support that she's always complaining about, women always want us to have just want them to emotionally support us. What that means is
they want you to hear them
talk about their day.
That's how they get emotional support. It's not you standing there, go patting them on the back going, yeah. You're right. You should be should be mad or you should be happy or you should be horny or you should be whatever.
(32:23):
It's yeah.
That's
just sitting there, listening. A craze occasionally grunting, nodding your head, and affirming the fact that you've actually heard what they talked about.
You do that and they're going she's going to have
a better response
to your, you know,
to your advances.
(32:44):
When you feed the emotional well,
when you provide circumstances that allows her to fall in love with you
and to feel
love,
then she will have and then she's going to have a better opportunity
to show that she's loved.
Till you do that,
y'all are both just gonna bounce off of each other. You're gonna walk around being pissed off the world because you're pissed off the world,
(33:11):
not because the world did anything wrong to you. It's just that you are angry
and you want to stop feeling angry.
The way you stop feeling angry is you
change your thoughts.
You give up the manual.
You start
setting up circumstances
so that the other people in your life
(33:33):
feel the love that you want to feel.
And if you wanna know how to be able to do all that,
then hit me up.
I can help you
have
a better relationship.
Help you get out of your own way so your relationship can actually thrive.
And it's not gonna cost you anything. It's just
(33:55):

Full hour. You set up a time. We'll we'll get together. We yabber it out. Hammer it out and let you know what

whatever that problem is.

that free coaching. It's amazing.
(34:17):
I think everyone
likes having coaching after they experience the first round of coaching.
So, come by.
Let's talk it out. Let's see what coaching is, is
and see that it's not as frou frou or as
as fruity as you would think it is.
Because it's actually a good thing to to have. We used to call it mentoring, actually.
(34:42):
It's just gotten a more updated,
boujee sounding word like life coach.
Get a coach, you know.
It's somebody you pay to talk to so that they can act so that you actually have the better ideas.
So if you would like help on being able to do that,
then
you can go to relax mail dot com forward slash
(35:04):
try coaching, all one word, and that will take you over to
my, my scheduling,
site.
You can schedule up and schedule a a time where we could, sit down and just have a good conversation.
So, guys, with that, I wanna say thanks very much for listening.
So, guys, I wanna say thank you very much for listening. If this or anything on that was mentioned on this, show rang a bell,
(35:29):
share it out on Facebook,
Mastodon,
Instagram, wherever it is that you you have a group of guys that you're talking to and let them know, hey. There is a show out there that's all about the men.
All about helping men become better men in their relationships.
Because when we become better men, our wives become better. Our lives become better. Our kids become better because we're no longer stomping around being these moody
(35:56):
moody dudes that are just all grump grumbly and and
and pissy.
We actually
know
why we're being angry, why we're
pissed off, and we know how
to change that.
So guys, with that, I wanna say thanks so much for listening. Y'all take care. Catch you all next week.
