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
