Men, Meaning + Microdosing #3
Hey Guys, hope you are all well.
Last week I encouraged you to share what you wanted to work on for the next 3 months if you were in therapy aka your treatment goals.
Here are the top 3 goals you reported in summary:
- Stress reduction
- Manage difficult emotions more successfully (anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD or combo)
- Maintain sobriety (relapse/recovery cycle work)
I always find discussions between social psychologists and clinical psychologists very fruitful. The term, “fractured demoralization” in the video below really stuck with me and is related to all 3 of the top goals above.
What if the treatment you needed most was a higher does of meaning in your life?
This week’s challenge.
Behaviour changes are where it is at. Yes, the first few days or even weeks can be difficult but in this case the results make it worth it.
Join us for a challenge that will produce positive gains quickly and address the top 3 treatment goals this week.
Let’s start a manageable, incremental digital detox together. Who can get down by 25% or more by next Thursday!?
If you are up for the challenge take a screen shot of your screen time use today and another on Thursday morning next week.
Send in a reply with your results by Thursday, July 10th @ 9am. (On most phones, go to settings>>screen time to find the info)
The winner of the challenge will win a 30-min call with yours truly. Let the games begin!
Why Else Do You Need a Digital Detox?
Research shows that about 61% of people admit they’re addicted to the internet and their digital screens.
Worse, that constant connection can also take a toll on your quality of life and overload your senses. That’s why taking a break from your numerous social media apps and some time away from screens could help be good for your mental and physical health.
All that time online can cause:
- Self-image problems
- Low self-esteem
- Sleep problems
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Weight gain
- Unhealthy eating
- Lack of exercise
- Lack of time management
- Work ethic problems
Let’s do this, see you next week!
