18 JUN 2024 · It's Men's Mental Health Awareness month – John and Mike share an initiative we're calling the "mental fitness gym" where we do daily practices with the Heare community to improve our mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. We discuss some fundamentals of physical and mental wellness: adequate sleep, sunlight, nutrition, movement, and social connection; as well as practices and tools that have helped us have transformational experiences such as meditations, breathwork, experiential exercises and therapies, cold plunges, retreats, and guided experiences with coaches and mentors. John shares some principles he learned from his recent intensive training such as movement and the body remembers what the mind does not, and Mike shares how Inside Out 2 represented core belief systems in such an interesting way. We touch on childhood development, how some core beliefs are formed, how we can repair as parents, and the inevitability of forming some limiting or false beliefs. We discuss doing the work to identify and challenge these beliefs in adulthood and to identify the truths that empower us and enhance our lives – all while acknowledging that the work is ongoing and as we strenghten our mental fitness, we grow in resilience and our ability to choose how to respond, rather than react to, life's circumstances.

5 JUN 2024 · JR Patterson is a therapist who has been through his own process of hitting rock bottom and discovering resources that were helpful in his recovery, as well sorting out what therapy was not helpful. From this lived experience, he now helps people on their journeys and we touched on just a few foundational principles: establishing the baseline of peace and joy; the inner compass which comprises of awareness of our sensations, emotions, desire, and values; the drama triangle of persecutor, feeling of victimization, and rescuer, and how to break out of that cycle.  JR has worked with Justin and Mike and their spouses, has been a great resource, guide, and teacher, and is also a musician (check out John Pattern on Spotify).
