I judged people subconsciously my whole life. I'd think, these f!@#$#@ people, what idiots, what's wrong with people. It was a lot worse than that but I'll keep it PG13 😬😕. It wasn't until I did some deeper digging that I realized I didn't really think anything negative about "those people". I was being judgy to keep people at distance. Letting people get close to me was unsafe to my system and pushing them away was easy when I thought someone was a fool. The joke was on me, don't let it be on you to. Next time you find yourself being judgy ask yourself this: Is what I am think true, or am I just trying to put up a barrier between myself and others? #judgementalpeople #judgementalfreezone #judgemental #menscoach #menscoachingonline #menscoaching #mentalfitness #mentalfitnesscoach #mensmentalfitness #avoidantattachmentstyle #lonelymen #loneliness #selfaware #selfawareness #selfawarenessiskey #selfawarenessjourney #selfawarenesjourney #selfawarenesscoach #selfawarenessispower

The moment I realized I was avoidant attached was a game-changer. 💯🔥💯 I finally had some clarity around why sometimes I felt great around people and other times I wanted nothing to do with them. It gave me peace knowing that there wasn't anything wrong with other people or wrong with me; it was my system trying to protect me from getting too close to people, as that never worked out well for me in my past. Having this new clarity created space for me to sit with my negative feelings. I stopped pulling away and started asking why. This exploration led me to past traumas, which in turn led to healing. It's an ongoing process, but one that's truly worth undertaking. I hope you find this helpful. If so, comment helpful!!! 💯💯💯 #avoidantattachmentstyle #menscoach #menscoachingonline #menscoaching #emotionalmaturity #emotionalneglect #emotionallyintelligent #emotionaldevelopment #emotionalintelligence #emotionallystunted #unemotional #mentalfitness #mentalfitnesscoach #mensmentalfitness #traumacoach #healingtrauma #traumacoach #whatistrauma #traumahealing #lonelymen #loneliness #selfaware #selfawareness #selfawarenessiskey

“A man on top of the mountain didn’t just fall there…” - Vince Lombardi Everything worthwhile in life takes work and effort.. In Way of the Viking we put a big emphasis on working towards specific challenges that almost seem a little out of our reach… To get there we work…daily….on tasks related to our physical fitness, our nutrition, our mindset, our mobility….. These daily tasks get us to our ultimate goal… But it is the CONSISTENCY that gets us to the top of our mountain. #wayoftheviking #mensmentalfitness #communityofmen #mentalfitness #unleashyourinnerwarrior #mensfitness #menshealth

If you want to create a change with ANYTHING in your life then it starts with YOU taking action Be clear on what you want to change and take one step in that direction… Then take another… And another… Before you know it, with consistency, that change you desire will be in your sights But it all starts with that first step. "Change is never easy, but always possible. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for.” Barack Obama #wayoftheviking #mensmentalfitness #EmbraceChallenge #mensfitness #communityofmen #mentalfitness #unleashyourinnerwarrior
⚔️🛡️⚔️🛡️I talk alot about getting out of our comfort zones and I encourage the guys I work with to do this all of the time…⚔️🛡️⚔️🛡️ Last week I did my first podcast with the amazing Sam Thomas and his show Different Hats.🧢 It was undoubtedly out of MY comfort zone…which is why I was so grateful to Sam for having me on his show.🙏 But I wanted to go on to the podcast and be as open and vulnerable as I could possibly be around the subject of men’s mental fitness. Including talking about things I’ve never spoken of before. Now I feel far more confident to do more things of a similar manner in the future… Because talking and getting out of our comfort zones helps us to grow as individuals. This is at the core of WAY OF THE VIKING CHALLENGE, NATURE, CAMARADERIE and DISCUSSION Working on our mental fitness should be given just as much priority as working on our physical fitness…because they both work together. Thanks again to Sam for having me on the show… You can see the full show at: https://youtu.be/1874Q6GeErE Or listen to it on: https://linktr.ee/differenthats #wayoftheviking #mensmentalfitness #mensfitness #embracechallenge #differenthats

🫶🏼 MMFC members - 🚀 Exciting News! - 👂🏼 Introducing "LISTEN" - a safe space for men to connect, share, and support each other. - 🗓️ Join us for our inaugural event on Sunday morning, 28/04, as we gather in a circle to LISTEN. - 💬 In a world where men are often told to "be strong" and "tough it out," LISTEN provides a space for vulnerability and openness. - 🌱 Whether you want to share your struggles or simply listen, you're welcome here. - 📍Location: Newfarm Park 🕘 Time: 9.30am-11.00am 📅 Date: 28/04 💰 FREE - 🎟️ TICKETS: in bio (and stories incoming) - ✊🏼 Let's come together and create a community where every voice is heard and every man is supported. See you there! - 📸 @bokeh_social - #LISTEN #mensupportingmen #mensmentalfitness #mensmentalfitnessclub #vulnerability #community #mentalhealthmatters #kindness #love #optimism #aroundaglass
🙏🏼 A massive thank you to @sealegsbrewingco for hosting the MMFC for our 6th session of CONNECT on this last Wednesday, we really appreciate you making us feel special by booking us the mezzanine! - 🫶🏼 Thank to you to all the incredible men who came around, and most importantly thank you for all the feedback, it means the world to me that you are able to communicate the way you feel to make this community the best it can be - 💙 This fortnightly catchup will be now called: "CONNECT" - 😍 WHY: it is for men to come and chat without needing to have big expectations, especially for some of us who are more introverted. This is a space where you can just come around for 20 minutes or 2 hours, it really doesn't matter. You can share your story and/or be an amazing listener, either way you are making an impact just by showing up, you will help more people than you think - 🤌🏼 Add this date to your calendar for new (and different) catch-ups that will be called: "LISTEN" - 🗓️ Sunday 28/04 - 9.30am - 📍 Newfarm Park - 👀 More about this "LISTEN" event to be revealed within the next few days - 🤍 I will always act with those values in my heart: KINDNESS | LOVE | OPTIMISM - 📸 @bokeh_social - #mensmentalfitness #mensmentalfitnessclub #MMFC #sealegsbrewingco #catchup #connect #listen #newevent #photos #kindness #love #optimism #aroundaglass
👋🏼 Bonjour everyone - 🙏🏼 Time to share a bit of my "why" with you all - 💬 Before COVID hit us, I was working 60/70 hours on commission only (and I was loving it), once the pandemic hit us I had no way to make money and nothing to do, if it wasn't for my mum and dad, I wouldn't have made it through. @rorydixon1211 & @__arjk pushed me to start Around a Glass, and it kept my mind out of a really tough time, better than that, it gave me purpose to share something I love with the world, it kept me in check. Now I realised that without it I probably wouldn't have gone through COVID times that "easily". - 🌎 The reason I started MMFC is because I wished there was a platform where I could connect with link minded guys as I didn't have any friends outside of work, especially when I was feeling down, when my confidence was low. We all have those moments where "we don't feel like it" , but having a community that can push you to be a better person and that can listen to you when you need it the most is what I want to create: the goal is to create this around the globe, for men AND women! - 🫶🏼 I am truly grateful for all the support messages, it means the world to me, but now it is time for me to take even more actions to make this world a better place, we all have our part to play in it, and I know that... my why is to connect people together and empower them to be at peace with themselves - 💙 The way I'm going to do that is by always sticking to my core values: KINDNESS | LOVE | OPTIMISM - 🚀 Let's all make this journey magical - 💭 Good food Good time Great people - 📸 @bokeh_social - #mywhy #mystory #corevalues #kindness #love #optimism #mensmentalfitness #womensmentalfitness #aroundaglass #biggoals #goals #goodfood #goodtime #greatpeople
Don’t have the time to commit…? This incredible Viking had to work away in long haul destinations for nearly 4 weeks out of the 10 of the last viking tour.. Was he perfect and got EVERYTHING complete that was asked of him….? No Did he genuinely do every task that he could even when away on business? Yes Did he get massive progress in his fitness both physically and mentally as a result? Yes It doesn’t have to be perfect..or an all or nothing scenario This fantastic Viking knew he was going to be away for large parts of the programme but he jumped in anyway.. This gave him the accountability whilst he was away so that he could be far more committed to his fitness and nutrition whilst abroad.. Whereas usually he pays it little to no attention when travelling. As a result he lost a considerable amount of weight, changed his body shape, got far fitter and was feeling much better in himself mentally too. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing approach… Just jump in and give your fitness your best commitment and you will not be disappointed #wayoftheviking #mensmentalfitness #conquerlife #unleashyourinnerwarrior

“You’re a long time retired, play for as long as your body will let you” A lot of people used to say this to me… Ex footballers who would give anything to be able to go out in the pissing rain with their team mates and go to battle like I was about to… Whether that be on the pitch or in training.. I would wonder what they were talking about at times… Sometimes I remember doing sprints and drills that had you desperately looking across to your coach and hoping it was near the end… Lungs busting, legs burning, rain beating down on you, mud, freezing cold air…. But when you finished and trudged off with your team mates… You knew you had just done something GREAT!! You’re not even sure why, but you just knew you felt so ALIVE!! As the latest Way of the Viking tour comes to an end…I think we completely understand that and are all already missing it!! We love challenge… We thrive on it… We are born for it… If you want to feel ALIVE again.. Message today to find out about our next Tribal Battle starting on April 25th. Spaces will be limited so don’t hang around 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊 #wayoftheviking #EmbraceChallenges #mensmentalfitness #menscommunity

𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐘??!🙉🙉 The world I mean…it’s bloody noisy! It’s true….the world has got noisier and noisier….. Cars, electronic devices, mass population, planes overhead…. The world is reportedly over 400% noisier now than it was a century ago. And finding space to be quiet is one of the toughest things in this modern life 🤫 This is why nature has such a prominent role in Way of the Viking Because nature affords us that space to be quiet To allow our minds to simply be… To wander if they want to…. Or to just appreciate the perfect imperfection that is nature. 🌲🌲🌲 Our stress and anxiety levels naturally drop as soon as we get out into nature because the attention grabbing distractions are far less immediate And we are able to allow our minds to relax 🧘🏼♂️ The reason I love Scandinavia and particularly our Lapland HQ so much is because the quiet is empowering 🇸🇪🇫🇮 It forces a sense of tranquility without any effort And it’s not until you experience this quiet that you realise just how noisy and distracting our modern worlds are! Whenever we leave Lapland..our minds are awash with ideas and excitement Because we have given them a genuine rest TLC for the brain 🧠 ❤️ Now we may not all have a National Park, Lapland or the coastline on our doorstep But nature is never a million miles away And if you want to feel refreshed it is worth making the effort to find it, even if it is simply a corner of an inner city park.. Because our brains need a rest from all of the stimulation as much as our bodies do to recover and regenerate after strenuous exercise And you will be amazed at how much better you will feel for it. www.way-of-the-viking.com
🙏🏼 Have you thought about the question from last night? - ❓ Here it is again: What is one thing, such by doing it, everything else will be unnecessary? - 📖 This question is from the very first English audiobook I've listened to when I arrived in Australia 7.5 years ago; it's from the book "Essentialism" by @gregorymckeown - 🍺 @jtkrafty_craftbeer: a master at its craft - 📸 @bokeh_social - #mensmentalfitness #mensmentalfitnessclub #brewtidebrewerybrisbane #beer #essentialism #gregmckeown #brisbane

“It was great to join Mind Over Mountains in Dartmoor for their recent retreat. The group came together almost instantly and the conversations were flowing from the moment I arrived. The beauty of the environment is that it was non-judgemental, no-one held higher ground and problems that were talked about were not ranked, each discussion was held on its own merits, but at no time did anyone try to fix someone else. Worryingly, knowing what a crisis men’s mental health is in, there were only 4 male participants on the retreat, out of 16 people. This is also something I note on an 8 week mindfulness course that I am attending. Why is it that we don’t see more men? Too scared to open up? Worried that it will show weakness? Worried that their fears and worries aren’t valid? Men need to talk and getting outside in the fresh air offers a great opportunity to open up as walking side by side removes that “confrontation” of face to face conversations. Great work by Mind Over Mountains and the team who ran the retreat!” Words from @alandaviescoaching who attended the recent retreat, and is now pursuing his own journey becoming a coach 😁 (please do follow him). Thank you so much Al - so happy our retreat was so positive for you, and for sharing this important message to all the menfolk out there. Our walks & retreats are ready for you! #mensmentalfitness #mentalfitness #MensHealth #retreats

📆 Monday 19th of February at 6pm - 📍@greenbeacon - 26 Helen Street, TENERIFFE - ❓I want you to start thinking about this question before Monday because this made a huge difference in how I live (and love) my day to day life - 💭 What are your three core values? - 🫶🏼 It might not be something you're gonna come up with straight away.. You might think it is frustrating, but in fact, that is the best part: this question makes you look deep within yourself, it makes you slow down, it makes you think/realise what are the things that are truly important to you. - 🙏🏼 Let me share mine - 💙 KINDNESS | LOVE | OPTIMISM - #mensmentalfitnessclub #mensmentalfitness #corevalues #kindness #love #optimism #greenbeacon #beer #aroundaglass
Do you find yourself worrying about the future regularly… Worrying about your finances, your kids, your travel plans, your health, the world at large…! “The fuel behind worry, is the internal desire to know that things will turn out fine…and the hope that the act of worrying itself is enough to ensure this outcome… “ Oliver Burkeman (4000 weeks) I know it’s easier said than done…but you know the saying.. Worrying gets you nowhere Literally We worry because we feel that might give us some control over future events But all that worry does is…well cause you to worry…and stress!! 🤷♂️ Once we accept that we can’t control the future, however much we try and fret over it The sooner we can accept that and take whatever comes our way as simply part of the journey Then we can spend less time in a state of anxiety and more time in a state of happy presence A depressed man lives in the past An anxious man lives in the future A happy man lives in the present Do your best right now, love those around you right now, be kind right now, look after yourself right now, take action right now…. Let the future be what it will be because no amount of worry will change it “Never doubt the outcome” Neale Donald Walsch #wayoftheviking #mensmentalfitness #communityofmen #EmbraceChallenges #purpose #mensfitness #menshealth #mentalfitness #MensHealthMatters #menscommunity
