3 Secrets of Dealing with Your Emotions as a Man

When a man is connected to his own emotions he becomes more powerful

1 - Judgement Free Zone
- The best place to deal with your own emotions is to enter the judgment-free zone
- The judgment-free zone is when you take an honest look at your emotions without judging yourself
- The reason we often don't deal with our emotions is that we judge ourselves for them
- When we enter a judgment-free zone, we are taking away the judgment of our feelings and just dealing with them
- When we are in the judgment-free zone we can look at ourselves realistically and objectively

2 - Open & Honest Thoughts
- Affirming and recognizing our thoughts is key to knowing and communicating our emotions
- We also learn when to listen to our "gut"
- Men can connect in relationships better when they understand their own thoughts
- When all you do is grind, you tend to just check out mentally because of exhaustion
- Exhausted men don't seek to understand their thoughts

3 - Close Friendships
- One of the best things we can do for our emotions is have close friends
- Men need men, Men do better when they have close friends
- As men, close friends help bring balance to our emotions
- Without close friends men can get off track easily
- Men's emotions need to have open and honest friendships to grow and develop
