Hey brother,

Have I ever told you I don't really send these emails and videos for YOUR benefit?  They are for ME, dude.

Especially this one.

I find it incredibly cathartic to open myself up to you and share exactly what I'm feeling and thinking...even if it's embarrassing stuff. 

And, as it turns out, the crap I feel and think is surprisingly what a few million other men are feeling and thinking too.

That, by the way, is the entire foundation of my business, Goodguys2Greatmen.  So, if you're thinking of building a business, think about a problem you have a LOT of feeling around, perfect your solution and then connect with the tribe of people who are carbon copies of YOU.

Anyway, where was I?

Oh yeah.  Have you ever been in a funk?  

Have you ever felt dull inside?  Listless or lethargic? 

Have you ever felt like a big, fat baby, blob, or <insert your favorite personal insult here >?

Yeah?  Me too.

There is a TON of free advice out there for you.  Sure, hit the gym, eat better, find your purpose, go into nature, have some sex...etc. 

But, I'm going to give you my SIMPLE cure.

This is important because if you can't even get inspired to take a crap, you have to do something to shake up yourself and your BRAIN so you can take one small step.

What's my cure?

Laughter.

Yep.  It's like a miracle cure for a mind stuck in a negative, lethargic downward spiral.

I know you just read the cartoon to the right.  Did you smile...just a little?

Exactly.  And here's the other secret.

When you're smiling you can't feel pain...not much anyway.  When you're laughing there is an INSTANT REALIZATION that you're actually just fine in this very moment.

And that's not a FAKE "just fine".  The actual truth is that you ARE just fine.  

Your brain had a temporary neuron fart that smells like "I'm NOT fine!"

But, it's not really true is it?

How about this one?  I've seen this cartoon a million times and I'm smiling as I type!  The "CAT FUD" is hilarious., But, I just noticed for the first time the box of detergent and the opened cabinet door.  What's that all about?  And did you notice the dog's eye's are actually closed...like he's praying.

My point is this.

Once you "shake out the cobwebs" of your stinkin' thinkin', you gain enough positive perspective and energy to take the next step.

And if you can't even imagine the notion that you're actually okay at this moment, you have to fix that first.

Find that giggle.  Find that sh*t eating grin.

Once you find that goofy smirk, you'll get a glimpse of the truth.

You're okay...and you're gonna be okay.

Okay?

Now, what is your next step?

My next step today was to shoot this video for you about this stuff.
