I was looking to understand how men of a similar age and stage in their lives are handling the challenges we face, from all the different aspects we encounter. I had comforting moments where I realised my struggles are also experienced by some others AND I had huge realisations about stuff I had no idea about, one good example is learning how women think and why they behave the way they do from time to time.
A massive benefit I found was how to intricately manage my time, so that my health, my goals and what is really important to me was always a priority. Sometimes less is more, so put away the tech for little longer, take your shoes off when you are in the garden and maybe substitute the takeaway with a good home cooked meal. I was extremely moved by the stories and experiences each group member shared. The comfortable and trusting environment really made it easy to open up and share details, which in other circumstance may have been difficult.
I can not applaud Gareth enough for the hosting and overall attention to detail he applied. I have fantastic takeaway information to continue to read and an a amazing 8 week training schedule which I can reapply continuously.
Kindness always wins.
