Toxic Masculinity... A tricky topic to cover in a workshop the morning after the violence/riots in Dublin last week.

Thanks to students for being so receptive and played their part in understanding what masculine and feminine traits are and why/how these traits can become toxic.

Making ourselves aware is always step 1.

Thanks for having us in front of 4,000 people in the yesterday to talk to students and teachers about how we're becoming one of Ireland's favourite personal development workshop for students.

An amazing two days in St. Farnan's Post Primary School with 60 TYs experiencing our full day communication and resilience workshop.

Thanks for having us 🙏

Thanks to Malahide Community School for having us in to run our first school workshop with +200 students going through our program last week.

Congratulations to Oggie Doyle on winning an award at the Garda Youth Awards this week. The award is to thank and celebrate Oggie for "making a positive contribution to his community, making it a better place to live."

Oggie was on South East Radio this morning talking a little about the award, his journey, the famous run that was set out to raise €150 for Pieta. Ending Su***de. Beginning Hope but actually raised over €23,800 in memory of his dear friend.

We were honored to have Oggie as the first guest on the Movement More podcast where he bravely shared his own journey and has given light, hope, and a smile to many people young and old today.

As Oggie has instilled in many people so far "please don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help".

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right,” - Henry Ford

Our thoughts shape who we are, how we behave, who we become. Change the thoughts you have about yourself and the world and your future changes.

How? Our R.A.S.

Our Reticular Activating System is this magical part of the brain that stops us from going crazy by keeping the main thing we are focused on, the main thing. I call the RAS our best supportive pal that agrees with everything we have ever said and thought. He’s that friend that goes out of their way to prove YOU are right. He makes sure you have the information you need, even if it takes a while to fetch it. Ever had a name of something you wanted to say, right there on the tip of your tongue, but could not remember, and then several hours later you are doing something else and the name suddenly comes to your mind? – that’s our RAS being our best pal behind the scenes. Whatever we are looking for, consciously or subconsciously, our RAS is on the lookout for proof that we are right. However, the RAS wants us to be so right, all of the time, he can be extremely dangerous! Why? 👀

If we think we are the best in the world, our RAS will look and listen out for every example around us to prove that to be true. Likewise, if we think we are useless, ugly, unloved, aggressive, stupid, our RAS will make sure we are right!! BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU TELL YOURSELF AND OTHERS!! 🗣

SEASON 2! Launching on Adam talks facts and figures why we should all be motivated to do more for ourselves. He also talks about 3 things we could all start doing and 3 things we could all stop doing to help ourselves live better.

Let us know what you think of these 6 things and if any of them have worked for you.

Start:
✅ Exercising/Moving
✅ Learning
✅ Being aware

Stop:
❌ Scrolling/Wasting your time monies
❌ Stressing
❌ Saying you're fine when you're not

"If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes," Albert Einstein 🧠

How do we find answers to our problems? Ask better questions! Our brain is naturally curious and looks for answers once challenged. Ask the right questions and your childhood self kicks in to solve the puzzle.

No matter what you are stuck on, stressed about, excited about, ask yourself better questions. How can I be happier? Who can help me with this? What do I need to do to help myself? What would happen if I left things to stay the same? How would I feel when I make the change? What is the best-case scenario? How would I manage myself with worst-case scenario?

Limiting beliefs are opinions that you believe to be the truth but are not necessarily true. These beliefs have a negative impact on your mood, confidence, competencies and resilience. Do you ever think “I know that person doesn’t like me”, “I know this event is going to be terrible”, “I’m not great at socialising”, “I’ll never be able to get that job”, “I’m the only person who can help me”, “I need to do X first before Y happens”?.

This isn’t the same as negative self-talk.

Limiting beliefs are those subconscious and conscious blind spot thoughts holding us back, that we perceive reality to be. Catch them, spin them around, and your reality changes! 😲
