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...
We scroll endlessly.
We stay silent even when we're breaking inside. We laugh loudly, but often sleep in tears.
In a world obsessed with looking strong, being real and Alfa feels like weakness.
But the truth is this:
➡️Crying isn’t weakness. It’s proof that you’re still alive inside.
🧘♂️ 1. Personal Reflection
I’ve had sleepless nights where my thoughts looped endlessly. Not from noise outside—but from a storm within.
No one could see it. Not even those close to me.
I stayed awake while the rest of the world slept.
Not because I was lazy or lost, but because I was silently asking:
“What’s wrong with me?”
Turns out, nothing was wrong. I was just holding back years of unspoken emotion and tears which was supposed let go.
💯 2. The Truth We’re Not Taught
We're told that men don't cry. That we're supposed to be "tough," silent, and emotionally bulletproof.
But here’s a truth backed by psychology:
➡️Men are more emotionally unhealthy than women.
They’re twice as likely to be institutionalized for mental illness, and they die by suicide at a much higher rate.
One major reason?
The suppression of tears. The suppression of self. The suppression of emotions.
It’s not our fault. We were taught to disconnect.
But staying disconnected is a choice. And we can choose differently—today.
📚 3. How Books and Wisdom Saved Me
When I couldn’t sleep, I turned to books instead of my phone.
Reading gave me space.
Not to escape—but to return to myself.
📖Books like:
“The Way of the Superior Man” by David Deida – taught me how masculine energy can be deep and tender at once.
“Letting Go” by David R. Hawkins – helped me face pain without suppressing it.
“Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously” by Osho – reminded me that the real power is in being vulnerable.
And in videos by Sandeep Maheshwari, I found a voice that said: “You are enough—even in your darkest hour.”
That was the beginning of change.
🌤️ 4. A Light for You
If you’re a man who’s tired of pretending,
If you’ve ever felt numb, lost, or empty—
You’re not broken.
You’re just disconnected from your inner self.
But you can reconnect. Through stillness. Through truth. Through Mindfulness.
Through honest words and real wisdom.
Books won’t fix everything—but they’ll show you you’re not alone.
