086: The Best Way To Improve Your Mental Health (That Most Guys Overlook)


Listen Later

Despite never having easier access to other people, men today are lonelier than perhaps any other point in history. 

 

We don’t deeply connect with each other. We don’t share our struggles in a vulnerable way. And it comes with the steep cost of loneliness, stress, overwhelm, and other mental health issues. 

 

But there’s not a more effective way to overcome acute mental problems than by sharing your struggles with other men. I realized this last week when I was freaking out about everything. I didn’t want to share my worries with my wife, but not talking about them gave them more power. 

 

And so, I reached out to a few friends I trust and asked them if they ever felt this way. My worries evaporated a little bit more with each reply I got. But I know most men today aren’t lucky enough to be able to feel this vulnerable with other men. 

That’s why I recorded this week’s show and reveal:

  • Why bonding over shared struggles is the best “hack” to improve your mental wellbeing 
  • The 5 biggest problems modern men face—there’s a good chance you also struggle with one of these 
  • How Man Flow Yoga Engage (coming April 1) can help men open up with each other and improve their mental health 

And more, including… 

  • The wildly effective, yet simple way to improve your mental wellbeing (that most guys overlook) (0:51) 
  • How I overcame the downward spiral I had last week—and how to use this approach yourself next time anxiety and stress knock on your door (1:21) 
  • The “Pawn Secret” for easing mental overwhelm in just a few moments (2:55) 
  • 3 reasons why men’s mental health is in decline (4:22) 
  • The top 5 non-fitness struggles that the Man Flow Yoga Community wrestles with (6:45) 
  • A brief explanation of Man Flow Yoga Engage—the latest addition to your Man Flow Yoga experience that has nothing to do with yoga or physical fitness (14:35)
