The Cost of False Promises

  • How breaking promises to ourselves can negatively impact our self-esteem, and motivation, and increase anxiety.
  • Creates a Cycle of Failure: We explain how repeatedly breaking promises can lead to a vicious cycle of self-doubt and procrastination. The momentum of negativity can be strong, but we must focus on consistently doing what truly matters.

The 21-Day Turnaround: A Jumpstart to Progress and Self-Respect

  • What it is: The 21-Day Turnaround is a program designed to help you build key habits in the four most important areas of your life: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.

Building key habits:

  • Physical: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
  • Spiritual: Start your day with the Proverb’s chapter of the day.
  • Mental: Post something you're grateful for in the Thriving Man Facebook group.
  • Emotional: Make a point to encourage at least one person each day.
  • It can be done in under an hour a day.
  • If you miss a day, you have to start over from the beginning
  • The key is to focus on growth.
  • Every man's greatest battle is always within himself. We'll discuss the significance of these core four areas in more detail next week.


The Power of Small Steps

  • We explain the benefits of breaking down large goals into smaller, more manageable tasks. This makes them more achievable and valuable.
  • Everyone starts small and then increases; like training for a triathlon by gradually increasing the distance each week.


Building Positive Habits

  • We highlight the importance of focusing on a few habits at a time and gradually building momentum. Focus and simplify!
  • Do each chosen habit every day to build consistency.


Overcoming Obstacles

  • We provide practical tips for staying motivated and overcoming challenges.
  • Reframe challenges as opportunities for growth.
  • "Failure is only the opportunity to begin again. Only this time, more wisely." - Uncle Iroh (from Avatar: The Last Airbender)
  • Overcoming obstacles is an individual journey but we all need support. The Thriving Man Facebook Group is a great resource for support and encouragement.
