Battle Ready: Mental Strength Plus Physical Strength Equals Unstoppable - with Former Elite Special Forces, Ollie Ollerton

This week I’m on a mission with Ex-Special Forces soldier and star of TV's SAS: Who Dares Wins, Ollie Ollerton and it’s an absolute banger.  Everything about this interview was so engaging. A freak childhood chimp attack that nearly cost him his life seemed to leave Ollie always chasing something seemingly unobtainable. When the Special Forces failed to fill the void that he had hoped it would, it wasn’t until Ollie’s time in counter-terrorism freeing children from a trafficking ring in Thailand, for the first time that Ollie started to discover his purpose.  In this no-bullshit chat, Ollie opens up about his self-destructive battles with alcohol and drug addiction and his struggles with anxiety and depression which make his story so relatable. There is so much raw honest truth and valuable lessons in this interview about how Ollie has finally put his demons to bed to live a life with meaning. It’s absolute dynamite!  A brilliant interview, definitely one of my favourites! KEY TAKEAWAYS When we step into unfamiliar territory and challenge ourselves outside of the realms of comfort, the gains can be more impactful than we realise. These gains are life-altering. We attract the energy that we exude in life. If we expect the worst, then we attract negative energy. This is why it's vital to radiate positivity, as it will mean that we attract and harness it everywhere. As human beings we are image driven. We strive to achieve the picture perfect existence, or attain unrealistic ideals with short term wins. What we should strive for are the wins that come through feeling. Happiness is far more important. When you're put into a pressure situation, you lose the ability to design the perfect outcome. Your thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions become organic. You live in the moment. BEST MOMENTS 'The ethos of Break Point is to take that short term step into discomfort for long term gain' 'Where focus goes, energy glows' 'We should have goals that stretch us. They should excite us, but scare us at the same time' 'I want to help as many people as possible to come from a place that's dark and horrible, to a place that's good'  VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   Website  - https://ollieollerton.com Ollie Ollerton Twitter - https://twitter.com/ollie_ollerton YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EllieMckay
