Men, Meaning+ Microdosing #3

Questions from the community.

Hey, Reader

Last week I encouraged you to share what you wanted to work on for the next 3 months if you were in therapy aka your treatment goals.

Manage difficult emotions more successfully (anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD or combo)
Maintain sobriety (relapse/recovery cycle work)

What if the treatment you needed most was a higher does of meaning in your life?

This week's challenge.

Behaviour changes are where it is at. Yes, the first few days or even weeks can be difficult but in this case the results make it worth it.

Join us for a challenge that will produce positive gains quickly and address the top 3 treatment goals this week.

Let's start a manageable, incremental digital detox together. Who can get down by 25% or more by next Thursday!?

If you are up for the challenge take a screen shot of your screen time use today and another on Thursday morning next week.

Send in a reply with your results by Thursday, July 10th @ 9am. (On most phones, go to settings>>screen time to find the info)

The winner of the challenge will win a 30-min call with yours truly. Let the games begin!
