Wise person once said, the only way to consume an elephant is 1 bite at a time. Sick of crash diving into the bottom of the well, thinking its the only way up. Wake up ,pull the curtains, open windows, front door, have a coffee outdoors, do 3 easy things off the list over the day, be gentle with yourself. Big secret, I set myself up so i don't have to work anymore, that in its self is a catch 22.Worth the head fk in the long run not having to answer, jump thru hoops anymore, simple tastes, simple life. So much trash just slides off your shoulders when the realization of keeping up with the twisted Jones's from next store is a co. Money is a con that the whole establishment prop's it's self up on to stay relavent,incharge of this cluster fk we are all part of. Rant over. Peace of mind n best of luck out there ,take joy in the small things, Big things are just a distraction from what matters

Music.
Certainly when I could play guitar a zen like stat was often reached. Cut the tendons in my fingers 15 years ago and can’t play anymore. The noise has been deafening ever since. Few understand. But “the voices in your head are yours and you can change the narrative.”

Bonsai and music help.

What about you Merlot?

tin foil hats, Anything where hands need to coordinate with the brain.Dyi gardening. Like to turn off the power board for a day n a 1/2 at times, rough it lol camping over weekend .No clocks in my place ,n mobiles phones only get used in the far corner of the yard ,if they must.Those 2 things freak most of em out at the start
 
I just wanted to say thank you @Suzie-Q and others here for their support and in this thread when my mum and brother died in 2023. 🙏 It was nice to post to a community anonymously is those dark days.

An update.

After a lot of therapy and time, life is good. Focused on family (two young kids that essentially lost their dad for a period) and a happier wife as able to give them real time me. Invigorated by family time, less booze and even work / my business again with new focus.

One thing men need to do is seek help and not be afraid! My other brother who works with me didn’t and he and is finally getting counseling but has suffered more than he needed to because ‘he had it under control’

I’m now championing men’s health charities here in Brisvegas. Thanks guys!

Changing your environment can help you create motivation. Here are some ways to create a motivating environment:

  • Declutter: A cluttered space can be overwhelming and drain your motivation. Decluttering and organizing can help you create a clean, inviting space that promotes focus and productivity.

  • Create a positive environment: The things around you affect how you feel. You can create an environment that helps you build mental muscle and work smarter.

  • Set goals: Setting new goals is a strategy to manage and enhance motivation.

  • Develop routines and habits: Keeping the momentum up can help with motivation.

  • Celebrate achievements: Celebrate small wins as a stepping stone to greater wins.

I like this and it’s great. But as a daily chat gpt user (Ai) it’s sounds like you asked it a good question and this was generated. Nothing wrong with it at all! If you treat AI as being smart (which needs smart questions for smart output) then it is pretty incredible. Sorry if I’m wrong but just a hunch. Credit to you for the prompt if I’m right or otherwise 👍

Sorry I know you were asking BF.

But yes when I'm in nature clear blue night and the dark sky full of bright stars. Goto a park late at night lay down and just look at the stars. We are so insignificant in the big scheme of things.

I have a spot for myself like that at nth maroubra near Mahon pool... Can sit there and face s/e and see only ocean sky stars moon and part of the rifle range which is just land bush and rocks.
Easy to shut everything out and it makes me also realise how insignificant we all are... No man can create the beauty I see when I'm there just pure nature.
Made.me.realise there's something greater than us all
