You are not your mind. Your heart beats, your lungs breathe, your kidneys filter, your stomach digests, your mind thinks. But what it thinks about is the things that it was programmed to think about. And guess who does the programming? The past, your experiences.
Ever feel like your mind just won't shut up? In this episode of The Motyv Podcast, Shayden J. Bertagnolli dives into the chaos of a mind that never takes a break. He asks a crucial question: Are you running your mind, or is it running you? Shayden shares his own struggles and offers practical tips to help you stop being a prisoner to your thoughts.
It's about learning to observe your mind, stepping back from the ego, and making room for stillness. But that's not all. Shayden also has a special challenge for men. He's calling for nominations for The Jimmy Award, which celebrates positive masculinity and strong male friendships. Plus, he introduces the Motive Men program, a new initiative aimed at making mental health support more accessible for men.
