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...
When You Don’t Know What to Pursue, Pursue Yourself
There are days when you feel like you're drifting.
Not moving forward. Not going backward.
Just… stuck.
You don’t know what career to chase, what path to follow, or even what version of you is real anymore.
And if you’re a man in this space, I want to tell you something I wish someone told me:
If you don’t know what to pursue right now… pursue yourself.
Not success.
Not perfection.
Just healing. Presence. Confidence. Inner peace.
🧠Why Men Stay Stuck (And Silent)
So many of us wear masks. We laugh. We joke. We show up to work, handle responsibilities, and say “I’m fine” when we’re not.
But underneath?
●Anxiety that tightens the chest every night
●Self-doubt that questions every decision
●Unhealed pain from childhood, heartbreak, and failure
●Exhaustion from pretending you’re okay when your mind feels like a storm
No one sees it. But you live with it every day.
🌱 The Solution Isn’t Hustle. It’s Healing.
You don’t need to grind harder.
You don’t need another fake motivational reel.
You need space to breathe. To reset. To rebuild from the inside out.
Pursuing yourself means becoming the most healed, healthy, peaceful, and powerful version of yourself — even if nobody claps for you.
🔑 What Helped Me When I Felt Lost
Here are things I personally use and recommend — tools that helped me reconnect with myself when I was numb, overthinking, and tired of pretending:
📕 1. Journaling for Clarity & Release
When your thoughts are spinning, writing them down gives them somewhere to go.
Start with 5 minutes every morning. It clears the fog and centers your mind.
🛒 Recommended Product: The 5-Minute Journal
Promotes gratitude, reflection, and emotional awareness for men.
🔌 2. Noise-Canceling Headphones for Peace
Sometimes, silence is the most healing sound.
These help block out chaos so you can breathe, reflect, or just sit in calm.
🛒 Recommended Product: Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones
Great for meditation, journaling, or decompressing after a tough day.
📚 3. Books That Rewired My Mind
Reading helped me understand that I wasn’t broken — I was just disconnected from myself.
Top Books:
🛒 Can’t Hurt Me – David Goggins
🛒 The Mountain Is You – Brianna Wiest
🛒 The Untethered Soul – Michael Singer
These books helped me fight my demons without hiding from them.
🌿 4. Ashwagandha + Magnesium for Mental Health
These supplements naturally reduce anxiety and support restful sleep — something we don’t talk about enough for men.
(Always check with a doctor before taking any supplement.)
💆 5. Create a Self-Care Box (your reset ritual)
Build your own:
●Journal
●Calm essential oil
●Eye mask
●Book
●Beard care or skincare product
Start treating yourself with the same care you give others.
✨ You Are Not Broken. You’re Becoming.
No man is weak for feeling lost.
No man is “less” for needing to heal.
You’re not behind. You’re rebuilding.
And one day, you’ll wake up and realize that this painful chapter… was the one that gave birth to the strongest version of you.
So when you don’t know what to pursue — pursue the man in the mirror.
He needs you.
