Hey, this is Triplineer, host of the new man.

You're about to hear the audio taken from a video that I created,

and it'll make a lot more sense if you can see the visuals that go along with what you're hearing.

You can watch all of the videos by visiting the new man podcast.com.

All right, I just got a phone call with a client.

He's growing his business and he's feeling some anxiety.

He's unsure about what's going to happen.

He's got some doubts about himself.

And he's got this uncertainty that's fueled by a sense of powerlessness.

So here's what we discussed on the call. The first thing was this idea of dynamic tension. David Emerald was on the podcast.

He wrote a great book called The Power of Ted. And he's got this image of two thumbs.

Two thumbs. On one thumb, this represents where you are, and then on the other thumb, where you want

to be. Now, imagine that there's a rubber band between these two thumbs. And the further apart

that your thumbs are, then the more tension that's going to be there. The thing we've got to

remember is that tension isn't wrong. But if we've trained ourselves to always seek comfort,

then in our minds, we're going to think that tension is wrong. When we feel this tension in our body, we're going to be saying, hey, something's up here. I need to make sure that I get rid of this. So think of tension. Tension can also be this creative force that's just moving through us. And our job is to be able to expand our capacity to be with that creative force.

So I'll give you an example. When I was a younger man, I would see a beautiful woman. I'd be fine,

right? And I'd see a beautiful woman to walk in the room. Oh man, I'd feel this rush of energy

into my body. And I would want to seek a way to relieve that tension quickly.

And as a younger man, that was through ejaculation.

I wouldn't do that right there in front of that.

But that was very common.
