Miscellaneous
You may not know this about me, but I am a massive fan of horror movies. I believe it dates back to that Michael Jackson film clip for his song Thriller which was really iconic at that time. There is an interesting side to this horror genre that I wanted to talk about today. If you’ve seen horror films before, you’ll know they follow a pretty similar path. Everything always seems to be going well, the situation is fine and then just at that moment where something exciting or good is about to happen, a monster or a killer bursts in and the madness ensues. The interesting thing that I’ve noticed here within myself is that I used to live my life like this. I wouldn’t want things to be too good, or I wouldn’t allow my relationships to feel really comfortable because I was too scared of what I thought would be the inevitable demise. I didn’t feel like things could ever just be going well. I was always thinking about the catastrophe of what might come next. This sent me down a path of anxiety and depression and really, not feeling like I was enjoying life very much. I feel as men, a lot of us live like this and I want to challenge you on that. Why do we feel that there has to be a negative coming if we’ve been enjoying good fortune or positive experiences. Allow yourself to sit with that and really feel into the moments that you’re creating in your mind. Once you can let the negativity go, you’ll feel a lot more free.Sign up for my free meditation course hereFollow me over on Instagram here
