To the one who’s been tough on themselves lately.Remember, it’s okay not to have it all figured out. Mistakes? They’re not roadblocks, they’re just part of the path — guiding you, teaching you, helping you grow. For anyone struggling with mental health, know that your journey is uniquely yours, and every stumble is a step towards a stronger you. You are more resilient than you realize. Be gentle with yourself, embrace the lessons, and keep moving forward. You’ve got this. 💪 ”

my dear friend, let go of the notion of a final destination and instead surrender to the beauty of the journey. Chase purpose with a stoic heart, knowing that the true treasure lies not in the destination but in the very pursuit itself. Trust in yourself, embrace the unknown, and let your purpose unfold naturally. Remember, you are the author of your own story, and purpose is the guiding thread that weaves it all together.

Existential Crisis' and Manipulated Perceptions coming it this Thursday

25/07/2022

Today we talk to Thommo about military service, what it was like to get out, where he was left when his career goals were left in tatters and why being cold helps with that.

28/04/2022

We talk about navy life, how a system can really feel when you're trying to change it for the better from the inside, and where that conflict can lead a headspace in the long run.

Where do those thoughts that make us doubt ourselves, take us to places we know we don't want to be... Where do they come from? Why do they come back to us? What can we do about them? Sometimes knowing that they are supposed to be a part of you is not enough, especially when understanding them makes moving on from the that much easier.

When decisions become challenging, why do they become challenging and what can we do about them within ourselves to change that? With goats!!!

24/02/2022

When we struggle to move forward in our lives, is it because of missing motivation? Or a lack of purpose? Without either, we tend to stay stuck. Worse, we may have energy to move but no direction but down to go.

Assumptions has landed

When we think that things are just the way we think, we act in accordance with that. But what happens when they doesn't work out? Well, we've just assumed. And that is the danger of assumptions: that things are one way, so we invest heavily into t...

Thoughts aren't enough. They're a good start, but without something else to drive us to change, its just a cool thing we think about.

Good morning fine peoples. Greg… So, after a few (give or take a month. But who’s counting?) weeks off, I thought I’d write something. And here it is. What leads us to get s**t done? As in, how is that process started, in ourselves? And how does it actually turn in to action? Nope, I’m not t...

The necessity of men being able to voice their feelings can be a double edged sword. While it is definitely valuable and important, the learned experience of many men is that speaking them can be met with indifference or even a reduction in their appeal. Is there a middle ground?

Seeking validation can lead to all sorts of places we may or may not want to go. Until we ask honestly why we want and need that validation, we never really acknowledge how little of our own self advocacy those seeking behaviours have in them.

Good afternoon all and sundry. I’m feeling mean today. Not necessarily towards you specifically. Maybe more aimed towards behaviours that end up proving that we are dumber than we thought. But I can explain that better. As I do. The short version: Stop doing dumb validation s**t! If you want, and ...

Rites of Passage

Rites of passage, initiations into adulthood, becoming a valuable member of society. There seems to be very few of these moments and markers in modern times, so the significance of becoming a man and what that means in terms of value and responsib...

Stepping back to give ourselves space for perspective and insight matters. But without using that clarity to engage with the world in a different and better way, we still stay stuck.

Morning peeps. Sup, Nath. Sweet beard, Jules, the Geraldton wax you’ve decorated it with is a nice touch. Right, everyone (including me…) satisfied with their ego strokes? Good, good. So, hands up who’s considered themselves a people pleaser at some stage in their lives? Nearly everyone. Cool,...

We all have concerns about how legitimate our place in society is, how we are seen compared to who we really are. If we let it go too far, those doubts discredit us at every turn with anxiety spikes that can create deeper and deeper disconnection with who we really are.

How are we all doing today guys? Enjoying being a self-made lord or lady of leisure? Good, good. So, if I asked questions about how legitimate that feeling of euphoric epicness is, what would be your answer? Would you be honest and answer in a grounded perspective based on genuinely authentic feelin...

If nothing can be defined as not doing anything, then sometimes we need to be doing nothing so we have the space and time to spend being.

Morning guys. Or whatever it is for you. Today, we are talking about the value of nothing. Well, doing nothing, anyway. Sometimes we need to time to process. To assimilate. To absorb. To make sense of things. To sit with what we need to sit with. Sometimes nothing is something. Something important.....

24/10/2021

Part of being human is relating to others with a similar experience. With it, life is richer and we spend more time being ourselves. Without it, we tend to be much less than who we are.

Afternoon guys. This one time, I opened a blog and it wasn’t awkward… I can’t remember which one. But I’m sure it’s happened at least once, right? Anyway. That’s apparently how we are opening today… Ugh… Connection. What exactly is it? When it comes to people and our relationships an...

Perspective when it comes to communication

When the intention we have with our words isn't received as meant, what do we do about it? Take it personally, or clarify yourself. When we hear something that makes us question what they meant, do we choose to take it negatively or positively, or...

Recognising the argument within our own heads can make a huge impact on how much it impacts how we feel about ourselves and the world around us.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a waste of life A waste of time A waste of love I'm caught up in a Predetermined role It's a waste of heart It's a waste of soul You've gotta move on You've gotta keep on ridin' You've gotta shoot low You've gotta keep abiding Sometimes I feel like I'm a cursed man A living...

They aren't the same thing. The same way that validation and understanding aren't the same thing. Or how placation and connection aren't the same thing. Suffering is a part of life, how we ask others to help deal with it matters in the short and long term path of life.

Afternoon. I am about to be mean, so appreciate that this short brisk intro today is prepping everyone for the meaness… With that said, how IS everyone’s afternoon treating them? Like a champ? Or a little bit less than that? Well, it’s those little-bit-less-than-that people I’m going to be t...

03/10/2021

Living without intention means we are going to repeat the past into the future. Which may serve us, but often doesn't. If you want things to be different, then you need to be different and aim that new you at something different.

Morning guys. I often wonder what people make of the kind of ridiculous titles I give these things, and if they make sense to literally anyone BUT me. Perfect sense to me, but not everyone is me. I’M barely me… But that’s already enough existentialist speculation on the idea of Self™ and sel...

Behaviours, and the interpretations of them, aren't necessarily as black and white from person to person as we might wish. What is toxic here maybe be fine there. Positive there may be indifferent there. Intent, objective result and subjective perspective matter.

Hi Everybody! (If you don’t respond with “Hi Doctor Nic!” I think we may be on VERY different pages with our cultural references. Just saying…) How’s your weekend treating/ed you? Like a champ? Great answer Tia, I’m enjoying your newfound streak of positivity. Well, I’m sorry to say, I...
