As men, we are really good at beating ourselves up. Too often, we struggle with perfectionism and have an inner critic living inside our heads. This affects our attitudes and our actions each day. Plus, it affects our relationships and our ability to connect with others.

We must learn why we tend to beat ourselves up and what we can do to overcome that tendency.

The Spotlight Focus

  • Many of us have in our thinking we are under a spotlight and everyone is watching us
  • What do you notice?
  • We aren't the center
  • Focus on Others
  • Life is not about us, yet we often put that kind of pressure on ourselves
  • Take the focus off yourself and start thinking of others and you will enjoy life a whole lot more

The Attitude Adjustment

  • Beating ourselves up often has to do with our sense of perfectionism
  • We have to change our own attitude and this takes intentional work
  • Name the attitude
  • Focus on your growth
  • Laugh at Yourself

The Journey Focus

Many guys get trapped in focusing on one area of their life at the expense of everything else. It could be their physical health, their career, a sport, or even a hobby.

Who cares how much money you have if, for example, you have no one you can call a true friend?
There has to be a better approach than this.
