Biggest Struggle
I want this community to be a safe place. In order for that to happen, I have to be vulnerable as well. One of my biggest struggle as a father was accepting that my life was completely changing. I felt like I was losing the “freedom” to do whatever I wanted. Every decision could potentially impact my family and I had a hard time accepting this. Eventually I was able to make my peace with this change as I begin molding new habits and deleting old ones.

@James Blackburn I had been thinking about this post after a conversation yesterday that happened in a call I was part of in my community, where we talked about taking ourselves out of the situation and thinking about it from a third eye. How many things do we let take over in our minds and yet we never question it, we just accept and deal with the consequenes of our thoughts, usually not helping us at all Yet if we take sometime to stop and actually question these thoughts and take actions to reduce their impact we could enjoy our days much more

What is your mindset doing for you
I ask this as I saw a really interesting study that talks about special forces using challenges to help them have fun and not let them see things negatively. These who made the challenges bring fun, actually performed better for longer and did not have any mental health challenges. This was just with their mindset, no different training

What is everyone doing for fun
Ive had a bit of a strange day today, but one of my highlights was talking to an old friend, who just told me a rubbish joke. Its been ages since I bad joke and it got me thinking what do we all do for a little bit of fun BTW-the joke goes like this "once I read a book about glue.....I could not put it down" Share your bad jokes and what you do for fun

Thanks for having me @Jordan Huntley when my son was born, I struggled to connect with him (everybody including my wife and parents all thought everything was ok), I did not know what to do and thought that by not being there it would be easier for him and my wife as they seemed to conbd t really well and when I was there, there seemed to just be problems and focused on my career to make it so that they were ok. But as my son got older, I wanted to go back and spend those times with him, and when a few things happened on work and with family, everything came crashing down for me, I tried to take my life. Thankfully since then I've rebuilt my life, found purpose, gained a great relationship with my son and now support others to understand that your children can be the hardest thing you do and the best

Grateful
Being completely vulnerable here.. Life has been hard lately. Going through some tough transitions in my life. It’s puts things in perceptive for me as you naturally tend to reflect. I believe this is a point where this will determine the type of person I truly want to be and what I value in my life. Grateful for life because there’s always two sides to a coin and it starts with my perception and mindset.

That's so true @Jordan Huntley a lot of us take responsibiity for everything as we feel this will help but in reality it just makes us feel worse and further away from those we need to connect with. We have to be honest with ourselves to help us and help those around us. Keep at it

I help men who feel stuck or disconnected go from quiet frustration and burnout to feeling proud, calm, confident and achieving without therapy
