What's going on? Welcome to the first episode of the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast.

My name is Siim Land and I want to congratulate you for tuning in. Yes, guys, I decided to start a podcast because why not? We'll do it live. You know, I like to experiment with different types of things, with exercise, nutrition, sleep, habits, and starting this podcast is also one of those experiments that I'm going to be doing.

I'll write it and we'll do it live. As the title of this podcast says, it's about body, mind empowerment in pursuit of enhancing human life. I'll be talking about different topics that would improve your cognition, your physical performance, your longevity, and most importantly, mindset as well. And the first episode of this podcast talks about the first two chapters of my book that I published a few years ago. Without further ado, let's get to it.

If you haven't heard about me before and you're wondering, who is this soothing voice that's whispering into your ears, then my name is Siim Land. I'm a blogger, a bestselling author, content creator on YouTube, a coach, and a self-empowered being. That's the topic of this entire podcast, Becoming Self Empowered. What it is and how you can get on it, we will discuss soon, but before that, here's some backstory about me. In 2015, I started my blog, www.simland.com. Genius, I know. And I wrote a few articles about fitness, mindset, and other similar topics. I gained some readers, and I wanted to create a short e-book or a pamphlet for my newsletter signup. One page after another, I discovered that there's no way I can fit all that information within only 30 to 50 pages, and that's when I basically knew that it's gonna be a real full-length book. It kind of just happened, and after 30 days, I had self-published my first book titled Becoming a Self Empowered Being. Achieve Body Mind Mastery and Live Your Purpose. Everything else has kind of gone on from there, you know. I expanded the topics I talk about to all kinds of person development and health. It's what I call human life enhancement through body mind empowerment, and it's like the most holistic way of becoming the greatest version of yourself, of becoming self-empowered. And that's what I'm planning on dedicating the first few episodes of this podcast for. I'm going to read you some of the best chapters from my book and we'll see where it goes on from there. Maybe in the future, we're going to have some Q&A's, some guests or something else related to really turning yourself into superhuman. So we'll see.

But for now, I'm going to start reading you the first chapter of the book.

Chapter 1 The Initiation We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

Before getting into detail about how to improve our lives and become better human beings, we need to first come clear with some of the terminology. The most important concept of this book is Self Empowerment. You might have a definition of your own, but what does it mean here? When we dissect a word into distinctive parts, we get the Self and Empowerment. The Self part is quite clear. It's who we are, or at least think of ourselves as. It's our identity, if you will. The Empowerment involves the act of giving permission, taking charge of and making better. By combining the two, we get this unique combustion of words, which hint towards personal growth and improvement. In essence, Self Empowerment is knowing who we are, what we want out of life, what's best for us, realizing that it's possible, allowing ourselves to have it, making the right decisions, taking steadfast action towards achieving it, and living according to these values.

By doing this, we become self-empowered beings who are in charge of our own existence and have shaped our reality according to our liking. Self-empowerment doesn't mean accepting the cause that we've been dealt with, but rising above adversity and choosing our own hand. It's not coping with life, but instead thriving in it. Such a person is someone who isn't satisfied with anything less than greatness and succeeds despite the turmoil. Everything he sets his mind to can and will be accomplished. There isn't just any other option because the high standard has been set.
