The end of the year fills most men’s heads with new goals and dreams but sadly few do enough thinking, reenvisioning and rethinking. What if the activity before we leave 2025 is to become more instead of getting more by the end of this year point? I find it interesting how each year we get into the same rut — the pressure, the plan making, the promise making — but what a man’s life changes with is not what he resolves to do January 1st. It is what he resolves upon before the end of December 31st. Here are 10 things that you can do before we leave 2025 and plunge into the year 2026 with vigor, perception, and self-respect — the things backed up by the facts of science, wisdom and practicalities. 1. Audit Your Life, Not Just Your Year Before you set new goals, sit with your journal and ask: What drained my energy this year? What made me feel truly alive? This kind of reflection helps you align your direction with your truth. 📘 Inspired by : “ The Mountain Is You ” by B...
No one teaches us how to love ourselves.
We learn math,science, history, even how to ride a motorbike.
But the single most important relationship—the one with ourselves—is often neglected. And if you're a man, society teaches you to “man up,” not “open up.”
Today, I want to talk about something quietly powerful: self-love.
Not in a cheesy, self-help way.
But in a grounded, soul-deep, healing way.
🎯 Self-Love Is Not Vanity, It's Vitality
Despite having access to endless information on how to eat, train, and live well—rates of body dissatisfaction and emotional numbness are skyrocketing.
Why?
Because we’re obsessed with how we look, not how we feel.
We chase goals that don’t align with who we truly are.
We try to “fix” ourselves like broken machines, instead of understanding ourselves like a living being.
The truth is:
➡️ You don’t need another fitness plan.
➡️ You need magnanimous love—a love so deep that it sees your pain and doesn’t flinch.
🧠The Thoughts You Think Create The Life You Live
James Allen once wrote:
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
Your inner world—your thoughts, your beliefs, your emotional habits—shape your outer reality.
You can’t think hateful thoughts about yourself and expect a joyful life.
You can't plant poison and expect a harvest of peace.
💯Here’s the shocking truth:
● 98% of your thoughts today will be the same as yesterday.
● And over 80% are likely negative.
↪️What story are you repeating in your head every day?
●You are not broken.
●You are becoming.
●You are the result of thoughts that can be changed.
🧠Your Body Feels What Your Mind Believes
Science now confirms:
Negative thoughts release cortisol, a stress hormone that can damage your heart and harden your arteries.
Positive emotions, on the other hand, heal and protect.
The energy you carry in your body isn't from food alone—it's from thoughts, emotions, beliefs.
Your heart gets stronger when it’s loved.
Your nervous system finds peace when you stop attacking yourself from within.
💪Practical Tools to Cultivate Self-Love
Here are 3 ways you can begin love yourself—today, not someday:
1. Positive Self-Talk Only
Make a sacred agreement: No more insults. No more shame. You are your own best friend from now on.
2. Interrupt the Thought Loop
Catch the 98% of repetitive, negative thoughts. Replace them with gratitude, hope, or a memory of deep love. Write down just 3 things you're grateful for—daily.
3. Breathe Into Your Core
Take 5 minutes a day. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply into your chest and gut. Let the breath say: “I am enough.”
True strength is in the man who can look in the mirror, see his flaws, and say, “I still love you.”
🫂Self-love isn't selfish.
It’s the foundation of every good thing you will ever give or receive in life.
