Decluttering the Male Mind (Replay)

Brain Box Positives
  • Men have boxes to help us deal with stress.  
  • When we are in a stressful situation, we have the ability to focus on one thing at a time.  
  • We can use this to our advantage.  
  • When we are trying to live a specific way or change our current habits, it takes focus. 

Brain Box Negatives
  • The danger of our brain boxes is we can tend to put things in them that we do not want to think about and never deal with them.  
  • The problem with boxes piling up is that they block us from getting to the important boxes of our life.  
  • We must learn to deal with their mental clutter or we will never be able to live a principled life.  

Brain Box Clutter
  • The hardest thing for men to do is to deal with their brain box clutter.  
  • Some men live their whole lives surrounded by boxes of mental clutter and never even know it because they do not know how to see their life that way. 
  • The first step for many men is recognition.  They must begin to see that there are too many boxes piling up in their mind and they are getting in the way of their life.  
  • The pain of rejection or lack of love in our lives can easily leave piles of boxes in our brain. 
  • We must begin the process of opening up the brain boxes, especially the uncomfortable ones and dealing with them or they will clutter up our minds and keep us from the life we were designed to live.\
