A Journey Inward
For men who feel lost in cycles of distraction, emptiness, or self-destructive habits — this podcast is your companion into the depths of the mind.
I explore the roots of anxiety, depression, and lack of meaning, not with surface-level self-improvement tips, but through deep psychological insight, mindfulness, and embodied practice. My goal is to help you see your struggles in a new light, understand where they come from, and discover tools for real change.
This isn’t about chasing hacks or quick fixes. It’s about walking step by step into the unknown within yourself — with honesty, courage, and curiosity.
If you’ve ever felt the call to change but didn’t know where to start, this is the place. Let’s walk the path together
A Journey Inward
Stop Falling Back Into Old Habits
Set a goal - get motivated - promise to start gaol tomorrow - tomorrow comes - don’t start - beat yourself up - plan to start tomorrow - give up on goal - stay stuck.
Why is this such a common pattern for people in the 21st century? People can’t seem to change.
Simple behaviour change runs deep, our mind is a pattern recognising machine. The more an action has been fulfilled, the deeper the connections in the brain have been hardwired. Your behaviours come habitual. Instead of you having to consciously think to do something, your brain shifts it to unconscious processes so you can focus your attention elsewhere.
Put simply, if you do something consistently your mind will learn to do the work for you.
This is neither good or bad. What makes this productive or self destructive is your choice of which habits you’ve continued to pursue. If you’re stuck in a rut, constantly eating junk food and binge watching Netflix, this is because you’ve choose to continue to do them habits over and over again. Your brain has learnt how to do them behaviours without your awareness. It’s become ingrained in your mind that you get home from work, eat a bar of chocolate and watch your favourite show. Regardless if you have dreams of going to the gym or eating a salad, your mind wants to do what it always dose.
Habits are extremely useful, if we had to think about every decision in a day we would quickly become burnt out. Imagine waking up, and having to think about walking to the shower, and then to brush your teeth, then really concentrating on all the minute actions that go into this.
Thankfully, we don’t have to. Habits take care of that.
However, if we don’t work to become conscious of the habits that run our life, we can quickly fall into traps of self destructive behaviours. We run our life on autopilot, often doing behaviours that go against all of our goals. This is why there is so much resistance to starting a new goal…..
