This week on The Health Made Simple Show, we are joined by special guest Raul Villacis!

Raul is an entrepreneur, author, investor, and speaker. Not to mention, he is the CEO of The Next Level Experience, leading him to work with the strongest minds in real estate, personal development, and coaching, as he has trained them in wellness and personal growth. 

In this episode, Dr. Bart and Raul discuss how to change our mindset to become the leaders we know we can be. From mentality to daily disciplines, Dr. Bart and Raul share their best advice on leveling-up their superhuman journeys.

Raul’s Journey

Raul began his journey when he learned that “good” was not good enough. After trials and a mid-life crisis, he became aware that we mask our problems and lack vulnerability in our journeys to become superhuman.

This led him to spend time in India, countless dollars on personal development, and reassess what was important to him.

Through personal development, yoga, meditation, and countless other outlets, he was able to come out on top and persevere through his struggle.

Following this, he knew that it is essential to find a purpose to wake up every day. This led him not just to desire to make more money, but to live with passion, impacting others’ lives.

The Importance of Vulnerability

It is essential to allow yourself to be vulnerable, so you can express your pain instead of merely sedating it or managing it. We must find a holistic way to go about our healing that elevates our lives. For Raul, this was personal development!

We are connected by pain. If we open up about our pain, we allow ourselves to heal and be a part of others’ healing process.

Humans are meant to belong and be able to contribute to something greater than themselves. This impacts us not just emotionally but can have physical implications on our health!

This is why it is essential to pick a tribe that wants to go to the next level with you. It is not important to bring everyone with you but to go forward with people you know hope to go the same direction.

Another important thing is to consider is who is leading your tribe! The lifestyle of the tribe’s leader will undoubtedly impact the rest of the group.

Leadership During Chaos

When we know a storm is coming, we need to imagine the worst-case scenario and prepare ourselves to handle it. This ensures that there is never a situation so bad that we can not overcome it.

We have to break free of the illusion that bad things will not happen. Instead, we should face them head-on, allowing us to control our problems rather than our problems controlling us.

Emotional Fitness

Every single man has to go through life in stages. It begins with the peasant mentality, which is where we believe our bad things govern our life.

Next, each man goes through the warrior phase. This is when they learn to persevere and develop the leadership and courage to overcome their struggles.

Lastly, we enter the tunnel, often called a mid-life crisis. This is what separates sedated warriors from the kings.

The common denominator in all of these situations is emotional fitness. It allows us to consistently level up and become a genuine leader and fulfill our potential. 

Guilt and Shame

Often, men in our culture are afraid to admit that we are failing at something.

Instead of admitting our faults or asking for help, we burden ourselves with ridiculous workloads and hide our problems because we do not want to experience the guilt and shame of sharing our mistakes.

However, guilt and shame are the emotions that trap us within ourselves. It is what disconnects us from the source and prohibits our ability to connect.

At times we must fall on our face and fail. It is what develops the discipline of overcoming, and the reality of failure is what we need to begin to level up and make decisions to improve our life.

When we see others fail, there is a difference between empathy and apathy. We should be empathic about what they are going through, but we should not be apathetic and enable them never to have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Audience Questions:

Are people born leaders, or do they become leaders?

• Leadership is a choice. You become a leader the day you decide to step-up and live the life you were called to live.

How do you break through when you are hopeless?

• We tell ourselves a story that becomes our current reality. If you would instead focus on what is working in your life and three areas that you are winning, you would be able to get out of a rut. You never escape your problems by focusing on them.

How do you start a business when your partner is not on board?

• It is okay! It is not the most significant concern if your husband or wife is on board. You must decide how important your dream is to you and weigh the consequences of pursuing what you believe you are being called in. 

Raul’s Health Challenge

After contracting COVID-19, Raul realized that the body is a machine, and given the right resources, it will heal itself. However, he was not focusing enough energy to keep his body healthy.

This led him to implement a nightly meditation and purchase a juicer to have juice every day to get the nutrients his body needs!

Instead of asking, “What is wrong with me?” We should ask, “What is my body trying to tell me?” This allows us to check-in and consider where the pain is coming from rather than sedating it.

Raul is hosting a virtual professional development, which is an intense four-hour deep dive. It aims to create a breakthrough in our lives and have certainty as we move into 2021. Also, he has an upcoming book we highly recommend to all of our viewers!

Making Health Simple

The top action item that Dr. Dan suggests to us on our journey of becoming superhuman is getting enough sleep! Sleep is the most important thing that we can do for our body and is the most crucial step as we pursue overall wellness.

What’s Next?

We have put together a dashboard of all of Dr. Bart’s videos, based on health topics, in our Level-Up Health Membership.

This library of health content is low cost, so we can help you on your journey to becoming superhuman! 

Not only is it extensive, but it will continue to expand with new videos each month. Also, you will have the opportunity to share these videos with your friends and family!
