A Man's Guide To: Mental Health

[@vitruveum]

Dude I'm so glad I found your channel. Halfway through your audio book and every video offers practical advice not the typical tarot style mindfulness bs and helps me understand. You are a godsend

[@ManTalks]

Outstanding, thanks for tuning in and glad to hear that the work has supported you!

[@mike-e-moto4615]

In the book, Upward Spiral, some of things are covered, including a whole chapter on sleep. Is meditation and breath work the same thing? Legs on the wall is called viparita karani. It inverts the body without straining the head or neck. This pose is excellent for reducing stress and anxiety,

[@cheesbobmcgrady]

Love the content brother, I do think it’s important to note that cutting sugar should be clear that you want to limit processed sugar. Natural sugars found in fruit and fruit juice have been shown in interventional studies to be very beneficial

[@Poetry-Reads-and-Writes]

Stumbled upon your channel today, first with the Henry Shukman interview, now this. Great content. Subscribed.

[@ManTalks]

Beauty! Shukman is solid. Glad you subscribed and let me know what topics or guests you want me to dig into

[@AnthonySilver-000]

Hey bro, this is a very good and helpful video. Thanks a lot

[@jbdsvld8175]

Good source of information ℹ️

[@lukaz2040]

Dude, you wrote a book and I didn’t know!?! And it’s available in The Netherlands!? Instant buy!! Can’t wait till Friday!

[@ManTalks]

Awesome brother! Enjoy and let me know how it goes

[@eberalex]

Thank you, this is very useful and informative. I need to learn to have focus and a clear mind in my affairs. Is this enough or is something else necessary? What does this have to do with willpower? or lack thereof?

[@MaxKomes]

Mental health and cognitive flexibility go hand in hand. I wish more professionals in the mental health space spoke of this! We must embrace the challenges of life with a sense of adventure and openness~

[@neilfraseruk]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@sumermehra5275]

loved it, thanks for this Connor

[@pavschodyko6531]

This made me apologize for my misbehaviour, though I may be too late. Thanks

[@RyanBooker79]

Another cracking video, Connor. Great point in that anxiety being similar to excitement in respect to excess energy.

[@jesseskellington9427]

Nice🎉

[@Simokhodsky]

Reading a paper book helps me fall asleep on the 2nd page

[@YuriZkit]

Working on looking good also helps a lot. When you look at yourself in the mirror and like yourself. Could be some changes or buying cloth. Or walking naked at home....

[@AaronSalmorin]

At first i thought it was simpke video but damn you made me feel inspired we have some similarities of my future plans thogh it could be hard because im a student frome now

[@jimrowden-bu9pi]

Get his book, Men's Work, awesome stuff. Shout out to Connor for creating The Alliance. 🤝

[@TheColourAwesomer]

Isn't it good to think about what you can't change in order to grieve?

[@guardianwaldo]

This is very helpful

[@Freethoughtpdcst]

What if all you watch on your phone is helpful content like this

[@mikaelaluna3353]

Can this be for girls also I watched ur disorganised attachment video and really resonated with it

[@simonbelmont1986]

"anxiety is just extra energy" This just tells me to go workout if I'm having morning panic attacks. Huh

[@ManTalks]

Actually, yes. When I work with men who are having a panic attack, part of it is about moving the energy out (stomping feet, pushing with their hands) and lengthening the exhales (sometimes by letting sound out or yelling). This is MUCH more effective than what most people try to do which is simply slow the breathing

[@jdmcmall]

I started walking first thing in the morning because I'd been not sleeping well/waking up and right in my head first thing. It's helped quite a bit to set a positive tone for my day rather than being in my head all day

[@simonbelmont1986]

@@jdmcmall I can't do that because of gang stalking. But I workout at home

[@TheColourAwesomer]

Insomnia's a curse man. Gotta deal with the trauma to deal with the insomnia to deal with the horrible side effects of both.

[@jdmcmall]

How do you find a good teacher for meditation or breath work?

[@shpalman7]

What do you mean limit gluten? It's good protein for people without celiac disease and there is only sketchy evidence for non-celiac gluten intolerance.

[@michaelkopf7479]

I was very surprised by his statement, without any further explanation. I hope he explains it in more detail at some point. That was far too generalized. Whole grains, for example, are valuable and beneficial to most people's health. At least that's what I think the current data shows.

[@ericsbriggs]

You keep saying you had “negative self talk”, however, it has produced a wonderful career and family and life for you (I presume). Can you reconcile this?

[@YourNemesis23]

Did he achieve this because of the negative self talk or despite of it? I don't think it's a prerequisite for this result at all, maybe the struggle to overcome it though is.

[@trash3570]

He has another video where he talks about "Shame based motivation", and its consequences. Hopefully someone can chime in and share the title because I cannot remember. But essentially, using negative self talk (a form of shame based motivation) will eventually lead to a crash and burn situation. Its an unsustainable way to motivate yourself, which negatively impacts other areas of your life. I believe his approach to solving this is about cultivating intrinsic motivation, I cannot remember the specifics though. Anyway, stop being mean to yourself lol. Cheers and all the best

But what we can or can't control is often not a black and white issue.
