THE ED MYLETT SHOW · The Hidden Pattern Destroying Your Success (Delete Your Old Self) | Ed Mylett · 23 May 2026 podcast

very dominant cluster of dark black trees using the warning signal of all the anxiety and the stress and the terrible things that come from something as evil as racism, which is pervasive and affecting ability to actually how you see yourself.

And so every bit of nurturing is built into your brain.

Every experience is built into your brain.

So this forest is influencing in the middle of the forest, just to give a visual example,

we have this wide field of optimism bias.

So I always explain it like a strip of trees that are perfect.

In the middle of the forest, there's this untouched area that's just perfect.

And that's where we want to really access that.

So if you're flying your helicopter, which is you in life, you're flying your helicopter and you kind of, as you develop self-regulation, you don't just fly your helicopter and bash into a tree and crash, which is what we do a lot of.

That's messy.

We want to know how to not do that.

So self-regulation teaches us how to fly with a pilot and co-pilot.

So we're flying over this forest

and we're looking at whatever smoke signals are coming up, where are the signals?

And if you see there that there's so much of that particular type of black cluster of trees, and that's influencing how you see yourself, your identity has been affected.

But if you really dig deep and you'll see the middle part of the forest, which is you, it's Ed, who can do something else that no one else can do.

But there's these traumatic experiences that are affecting identity.

So they can block and they can become so big that they can actually build like a black wall against the green forest.

So it's almost hard to see who you really are because you're so busy being involved in that you're stuck in that cluster.

So that's why I say you've got self-regulation is not sitting and walking amongst those trees and getting lost, which is what we do.
