Are you really failing?
Words JEAN SHEEHAN
One of the most common diseases I see in men and have been asked to be a keynote speaker about is the ‘Failing Male Syndrome’. I call it a syndrome as it is a condition characterised by a set of associated symptoms. The symptoms are feeling useless and hopeless, with no purpose. I can give you loads of reasons why this occurs but for now the most important fact is to recognise it and then apply easy and effective tips to support boys, teenagers and men.

There is a powerful part of the brain called the Reticular Activating System or RAS. I first learnt about this filter and conscious mind when I was suicidal at 26 years of age. It was perfect as I integrated this information with my nursing and got profound results, not just for me but my patients and then my medical intuitive clients. This part of the brain (in the brain stem) filters information. It’s all about interpretation and perception. It’s also known as a set of connected nuclei in the brains of vertebrates that is responsible for regulating wakefulness and sleep-wake transitions. So what are you awake to? And what are you asleep to?
If a male is focused on being hopeless, his RAS will look for all the reasons why he is a failure and search the memory as to other occasions he has been a failure. The mind and body react accordingly and feel low and like a failure. The same would apply if the male searched for all the reasons he is a success. Quite often the male is not failing, it is his perception only. When it comes to the RAS, you decided what is truth, fact and your perception.
One of the ways to support this syndrome, is to commence focussing on all the success. Make a list each day focussing on your success and acknowledging yourself. This awakens the mind to what can now be a new story and truth.
The next step to support this new journey is to be aware of words that are used. It is important to only have words that are emotive such as, ‘want, choose, will, and can’. By deleting words from your vocabulary such as, ‘have to, must, should, ought’, this opens the RAS even more to the possibilities and living your best life. Lastly, it is knowing that there is so much help out there and knowing there is no such thing as failure, only continuing to take the next steps.
