Keep your head in the game and stick to a long-term strategy in mind and paper. It's easy to shame yourself for not doing what you said you were going to do. But it's normal to struggle with keeping up habits due to something called the homeostatic impulse. Your brain is conditioned to not like change.So it actively tries to reverse the change. This is human nature.Whether it's eating healthy or exercising regularly…Why shame yourself for doing what a human is evolutionarily supposed to do?Even worse, when you shame yourself, you release a powerful cocktail of emotions that drug you into being upset, sad, hopeless, probably emotions you've felt your entire life. So your brain says - see? Don't change it's better.These emotions activate when you shame yourself, repeating the cycle of inaction and repeats the same thing to your nervous system.This cycle keeps people down forever.

Join me in today's episode with Andrew Reiner, Author of "Better Boy, Better Men" on a discussion about a new kind of masculinity that doesn't hurt or force men to "be a man" and suppress emotions and put on a stoic mask and how parents can help shy kids and teenagers. In Better Boys, Better Men, cultural critic and New York Times contributor Andrew Reiner argues that men today are working on an outdated model of masculinity, which prevents them in moments of distress and vulnerability from marshalling the courage, strength, and resiliency—the very characteristics we regularly champion in men—they need to thrive in a world vastly different from the ones their fathers and grandfathers grew up in. According to Reiner, this outdated model of manhood can have devastating effects on the entire culture and, especially boys and men, from falling behind in the classroom and rising male unemployment rates to increased levels of depression and disturbing upticks in violence on a mass scale. Reiner interviews boys and men of all ages, educators, counselors, therapists, and physicians throughout the United States to better understand what factors are preventing the country’s boys and men from developing the emotional resiliency they need. He also introduces readers to the boys and men at the vanguard of a new masculinity that empowers them to find and express the full range of their humanity. - Grab Andrew's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Better-Boys-Men-Masculinity-Resiliency-ebook/dp/B07X8HR3KF*************************Check out my step by step, day by day, 45-day 9-week affordable online course to rewire your mind and transform social anxiety - markmetry.com/program 🔥🧠💪*************************Read the rest of the show notes: coming soon- Subscribe to my FREE Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3eANWld- Read or Listen to my book Screw Being Shy: https://bit.ly/2PqV2QI- Quickly Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching: https://bit.ly/2Pslqd0- Sign up for my online course: https://www.markmetry.com/program~~~CONNECT w/ MARK~~~- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmetry- Twitter: https://twitter.com/markymetry- Website: https://www.markmetry.com/- Email: [email protected]

Every day billions of people wake up and try to have a positive mindset.And while not useless, it’s a good intention, most people come home at night and have trouble falling asleep, face doubts after insecurity, aren’t really happy or proud of themselves then try to do the same thing over again the next day. Mindset is defined from the Oxford English Dictionary as “a set of attitudes or fixed ideas that somebody has and that are often difficult to change.”Of course, your mindset is very important. If you don’t believe something can happen, it probably won’t happen. But also thinking something is going to happen just because you set your mind to it, or sending just “positive vibes” or best wishes could also be considered delusional and impractical in the long run.The truth is our mindset is just one layer.If you want to learn how to manage social anxiety, it requires more than that...*************************Check out my step by step, day by day, 45-day 9-week affordable online course to rewire your mind and transform social anxiety - markmetry.com/program 🔥🧠💪*************************Read the rest of the show notes: https://markmetry.substack.com/p/changing-your-mindset-is-not-enough?r=h979j&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=copy- Subscribe to my FREE Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3eANWld- Read or Listen to my book Screw Being Shy: https://bit.ly/2PqV2QI- Quickly Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching: https://bit.ly/2Pslqd0- Sign up for my online course: https://www.markmetry.com/program~~~CONNECT w/ MARK~~~- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmetry- Twitter: https://twitter.com/markymetry- Website: https://www.markmetry.com/- Email: [email protected]
