Freakin Fear?
Who are you, and who have you become? Why do we, as men, deal with functional depression? Is it a “chemical imbalance,” or is it that a physician’s language amongst their profession that we’ve adopted as an excuse for not understanding the basis of our own emotions? For me, it started with the fear of failure. You know, the “what ifs,” the “I wish I would have’s,” the comparisons and all the other thoughts of that complements suicidal ideation. When I summed it all up, it came down to just that …fear—f***ing fear bro!!! The fear of what? Societal norms that aren’t even real? The opinions of people who are wearing social masks and dealing with their own issues? A group of people following the masses and to afraid not carve their on path? I lost so much by not knowing my own identity, by playing a game without knowing the number one rule: to protect the king & create the environment —. Overcoming , fear, depression, divorce , illness trauma.. whatever requires a combination of approaches tailored to your needs. Here are some strategies I found extremely helpful for myself.

Are you really about that life?
Are You Wasting Time in Your Daily Routine? Take a moment to reflect: How productive are you in the areas that truly matter? Let’s break it down. On a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest), list out the categories that hold significance for you. Think about areas you want to improve, such as: - Family Time - Self-Development - Fitness - Career - Health Next to each category, write down your rating. Be honest. Here’s the reality..If you rate something between 1 and 3, it’s time to prioritize. Consider making a change, especially if your goal is to become the best version of yourself and having an Alpha Mentality. This transformation/truth won’t just benefit you, it will positively impact those around you, too. 💯Remember Adding new habits on top of poor ones can lead to increased anxiety. Sometimes, the key to improvement comes in subtraction—letting go of habits that drain your energy so you can focus on what truly deserves your attention. Only you know if you’re ready for a change, my question is… Are you ready to make a change? The Alpha is Back!!

Relationship shit you might of forgotten about!
Ive been divorced for about two 1/2 years . I don’t wish this on anyone. If I would have known what I’ve learned about myself over the couple of years . I wouldn’t be divorced. Let’s face it: relationships can be tough for us guys and this isn’t an excuse ,Society often tells us to be strong, to hold it all in, which can lead to anxiety and even functional depression. This pressure can create a wall between us and our significant others, making it hard to express what we really feel. But when we do let our guards down and open our hearts, we love fiercely. That intensity can be a powerful force for good in our relationships. Here’s what i learned about harnessing that strength while tackling the challenges I've faced: 1. **Talk It Out**: Don’t shy away from honest and hard conversations. Share your feelings and fears. It’s a way to build trust and show your partner you’re committed. *Question to consider: What fears or doubts have you been holding back that you could share with your partner? STAND IN YOUR TRUTH 2. **Own Your Emotions**: Recognize that feeling vulnerable isn’t a weakness; it’s part of being human big dawg. Embracing your emotions can lead to deeper connections. If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to seek get help, we aren’t designed to carry boulders alone. *Question to consider: How do you typically react when you feel vulnerable, and how can you change that reaction? 3. **Make It Fun**: Find activities you both enjoy. Whether it’s hitting the gym, watching games, or cooking together, these shared moments strengthen your bond and build camaraderie. I know for me I started finding things I enjoyed thinking she didn’t care. *Question to consider: What shared interests or hobbies can you explore to spark more joy/excitement in your relationship?* 4. **Prioritize QUALITY Time**:That means it’s not always about you and what you like. Set aside time for just the two of you, free from distractions. This focus can spark intimacy and reinforce your friendship.

Physical appearance
Brothers many of us worry about our height, weight, hair loss, or body image and other things. Is there anything that you’re dealing with or has been a thought…. That’s your willing to share .? For me genetically it’s my ankles and claves . I’ve always been told that I have small ankles . It use to fuck with me until I learned this from a stranger now friend of mine.. He asked” have you ever seen a cheetah for big calf muscles” The game changer. My point is you never know who can turn your insecurities into your superhero abilities?.

Let’s cut ties, Bro
"It's common to want change but not know how to achieve it. It's like stacking good ideas on top of poor habits, expecting a different outcome. Only to fall back into the same habits and results that cause anxiety. Does it really make sense to stack or start new habits while you're already burdened with anxiety, the weight of social norms, relationships, finances, and functional depression? Is journaling, going to the gym, or meditation really the key? They are great attributes for sure! If a hot air balloon wants to get off the ground but is tethered down on all four corners, would it make more sense to get rid of each rope or chain before adding another, to allow the hot air balloon to level up and take off? In short, what if we were to get rid of the old habits before adopting new ones? Maybe we can level up and take off beyond our imagination. The Alpha is Back."
