Show notes
It’s always been a mission of mine to support you to feel vital, inspired and full, rather than deadened, deflated, or defeated.
To this end, I believe it’s important to periodically check in and ask yourself:
“Am I feeling vital?”
“Am I living fully?”
If the answer to either of those questions is “No,” or “I don’t know,” then take some time to clarify what living fully would feel and look like for you.
As you begin to envision this, say YES to all of your ideas. There are no bad ideas, even if you’re not sure if something you want is possible. Allow yourself to dream!
While you may not create all of your dreams at once, you can move toward them one by one. My clients have added a morning routine, taken on a once a week hobby, planned a trip, asked for the deeper connection they wanted with a partner, friend, or family member, and other taken other actions to feel more alive!
Each change you make initiates an upward spiral, toward living fully.
Today’s Man Alive guest, Shaun Emerson, offers 5 suggestions for how to live more fully. Shaun is the Board president of MenLiving — a non profit that creates spaces for men to connect, heal and thrive (virtually and in person). Shaun is also an advisor to a group I co-created, called the Moonshot Mission for Mankind. Our mission is to counter the reality of men living sicker and dying younger than women these days. This is the first episode of my Moonshot for Mankind Series.
In our deep and full conversation we discussed…
- MenLiving’s 5 keys for living a full and fulfilling life
- How to let go of trying to be or getting things “right”
- Why the practice of having vulnerable conversations will improve your relationships
- What it looks like to empower yourself by taking 100% responsibility for your life
- The importance of men’s circles
Shaun is inspiring in his commitment to helping create a world of healthy, intentional, connected men who can heal and thrive. When you’re done with this episode, check out this one on the importance of men taking off their masks.
