Congratulations to our Grounded Man of The Month for March 2026.. Chris Sweigart. When deciding this I look at two things, how consistently a man shows up, and whether he is actually putting it into practice in his life. Chris checked in every single week in March. But more than that, his scores improved every single week. From a 63 in week one to a 75 by the end of the month. One of my favorite moments I'd like to acknowledge from Chris this month was this; "I feel like I'm actually myself and not overthinking everything I do. I feel more grounded even in conflict." That's fucking huge, Chris — this is what it looks like when the process works. Keep going. Congratulations brother. 🤝

- Unshakeable code  - The Grounded Man Blueprint - Integrity in Action This is something I've struggled with so much. I have put work first basically in every part of my life before personal care, social maintenance, financial stability. This made me recognise that the values I actually had were very flexible considering the grounded man I am trying to become. This holiday weekend I have attempted to reset my financial system (unfortunately I can't set in motion until the next pay-check but step one has been made). I chose social maintance over studying for and I felt grounded in that decision. There have even been moments I experienced with my ex-partner where I recognised value systems. With my ex-parter I allowed a boundary to be crossed, nothing massive just having more to drink than I intended for the sake of her approval when my intention was to return to studying the next day. I'm not regretful or ashamed of that decision though because It gave me the opportunity to have a conversation with her that I have been avoiding for a full year. I owned my part in the issue and validated her feelings. There was more I intended on saying but once the framework was done I realised the rest was just me looking for approval so I stopped. She expressed how much that meant to her and moved onto another topic. Unfortunately my nervous system was not ready for that and I didn't validate her experience at all, I did the exact opposite. So now I have another conversation I intend to revisit but I do not regret my initial response either because it felt like another learning opportunity. I had built this one big conversation up so much that I was not prepared for another one. In the future I intend to continually remain grounded. This time I allowed the boy to take over because I decided the "task was finished", but I recognise now that my reward was getting to have the conversation in the first place, for being so grounded leading up to it and throughout. /// - I'd also like to add that this past week I have avoided so much less and I feel so much better for it

Coming here to post about a repair discussion that I’ve been trying to have with my wife. The first 2 days she was clocked out and told me she dint have the capacity for it. Last night we were figuring out dinner she saw something that upset her and didn’t want to talk the rest of the night. The same thing is currently happening tonight and I said I would post this on Friday and I never got to it but I wanted to stick to my word on posting about this discussion. Trying to remain grounded in my relationship this weekend has been difficult but I know the only way to keep moving forward is to remain grounded continue to talk to these parts and continue to show actions of becoming the man I know I will be.
