A lot of men donāt resonate with traditional therapy.
Not because they donāt struggle.
Not because theyāre too proud.
Not because they ādonāt want help.ā
But because sitting in a room talking about their feelings doesnāt feel like progress.
Why traditional therapy doesnātā¦
A tough lesson I am learning:
Listen to your body
It is more in tune than your mind
It remembers stress, it remembers trauma
Your body will hold onto things
Honestly my mind is tougher than my body
So I push and push
Eventually your body pushes back though
I often ask myself "what are we doing to ourselves by being so busy?"
We have friends that can't find time because of kids sports
Others that work so much that they struggle to even see their own family much less others
Its time to slow down y'all
Build a better life
I love this line from one of @ZubyMusic songs
"never sells dreams, cuz Id rather sell hope"
I am here to convince you there is hope!
There isn't a genie that will make your dreams come true
But YOU can!
Your attitude matters
Belief is the first step
Now go make it happen
"Tell your money where to go instead of wondering where it went"
A budget is a plan for your money
It isn't about restriction, it is about freedom
Aligning your money habits with your values is crucial
Too many of us, just blindly spend and then wonder why we are stressed
What are you solving for?
I solve for peace of mind
This means simplicity, routine, and efficiency
That is what works for me
What are you solving for in life?
What are you solving for in your money?
Does your life reflect what you are solving for?
Do you ask yourself: How do I want to be remembered?
When I think about lost love ones, I don't think about what we did together
I think about who they were as a person
Their character, their demeanor, their actions
Those are the things that make you successful or not
It can be scary when you first go into a fire
You can't see-smoke makes it dark
You can't hear-fire is louder than you might think
You can't move fast-but you need to
But once you do it, it gets easier
What burning building in your life do you need to run into?
"On the road less traveled there aren't any traffic jams"
Don't fear doing something different or being someone different
Be weird
Debt free
Fit and Healthy
Loving spouse
All things that make you different these days
But also things that simply make you better
During an experiment scientists discovered that trees without wind would die
The wind strengthens them, preparing them to stand tall
When you have struggles be thankful
Because like the wind for those trees
YOU are becoming stronger
YOU will stand tall
Vince Lombardi said:
"Tradition motivates. Tradition helps players subordinate their individual interests to the need of the team. If you don't have traditions, make some up."
While this applies to many things, we should strive to do this in our families, with our kids.
"Two wolves battle inside your heart... One is wise and kind, and the other is vicious and cruel... Who will win? The one you feed."
I hadn't heard this fable until relatively recently
It made its mark on me
You have to have positive inputs if you want positive results
My boy and I are reading a book series together
It has been a lot of fun even though he wants to ruin the mystery for me at every turn
Make memories
Build relationships
Help others
This is the path to fulfillment
Is change really possible?
"Thats just the way I am"
"I was raised this way"
"The system is against me"
"If I had this or that, then I could"
All of these excuses are what my Dad would call HOGWASH
You can change
It is only a question of if you change on purpose
You can be normal if you want
But its a trap
College with 6 figure debt
Entry level job/low pay
New car
Thats when you first start to notice
HAVE to buy a house (approved for more than you can afford)
Struggle the next 30 years with no money
"Thats a no for me dawg"
When is the last time you sat in silence?
I know for me it was rare
I truly believe it is beneficial though
Im guessing it has benefits to your nervous system
No stimulation promotes relaxation
Make this part of your daily routine and see if there isn't a difference
Here are 3 things I must do daily:
Something Spiritual-Read the Bible and pray
Something Physical-Exercise of any sort
Something Mental-Read or watch with the intent to learn
None take up much time
But defining a winning day is crucial to a peaceful life
Do you track your spending?
Does it align with your values?
Does it align with your money goals?
Are you confident you will win with money?
Not just get by but truly WIN?
Most don't
They just go with the flow and see what happens
Don't be like most people
Are you lost?
Do you have guiding values?
Do you have daily habits that match?
Do you invest in yourself to ensure you will achieve your goals?
You can get clear on who you are, who you want to be, and how to get there
It takes intentionality though
And that is tough
