Men Seeking Calm.
Men Seeking Calm is about helping men get to calm from a place of stress, anxiety and pain. Some of the practical tools include emotional regulation, anger management and relationship skills. What can we do when the Big Emotions come in our intimate relationships? We explore what it means ”to be a man” in the world of today - it can get confusing. Supporting men in their ”how to do life” quests. And when you learn this stuff ... pass it on the next guy.

Welcome to MEN SEEKING CALM.
I invite you to Start the Change Journey and to take a walk with me.
We cover anger management, male issues and men’s business.
My name is Greg Martin from www.WalkTheMountain.com
In this episode I explain why Reaction-Mode is for the Lonely.
If we can work on our Reaction-Mode … we can get to Calm, then Happiness is possible and gettable.
These are the take-a-ways:
1 I explained reaction mode and …
2 ... How this is a rapid-chemistry event.
3 Reaction is a millisecond choice, but still a choice.
4 Our capacity for thinking is reduced when we are in reaction mode.
5 Occasional reaction-mode is normal when overwhelming events occur in life.
6 It’s exhausting to be the Guy in habitual reaction mode.
7 Reaction-Mode damages relationships.
8 In Reaction-Mode you lose control of the destination, you lose control where you will end up after the interaction
9 People move away from you when you are in Reaction-Mode ... that’s why Reaction-Mode guys end up lonely
10 Responding is the opposite to Reaction. Buy yourself time to think, time to consider your best safest choice moving forward. You will protect your precious connections with people around you.

Today it’s Man Bubble time.
greg martin here from WalkTheMountain.com where …
We walk together and with other men motivated to take a journey to CALM.
Imagine if you will, that you are inside of a big bubble.
The life lesson is that inside this bubble is what you totally control in life.
Behold!!!!
Your Empire of Control inside the Bubble.
Outside the bubble – influence is as good as it gets.
Influence is negotiated or not negotiated and there resides the friction.
The No Control OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE idea allows us an interesting Freedom.
The Freedom is that we HAVE SELF-PROTECTIVE OPTIONS once we realise this.
When you think you are a victim of someone else’s grand plan that is good for them but not for you, feeling powerless is an ugly state-of-mind to be in.
Agency means to be able to take some control on your life and to make decisions that steer it in a way that gives you some satisfaction.
Agency means you are the driver of your life.
This happens in the Man Bubble.

In this episode I posit that Targeting Happiness in life … is a mistake.
We need to find our way to a Calm Baseline first … in order to get to happiness.
I propose that a more useful target is to Seek Calm.
This podcast is about getting you to a Calm Baseline.
And now you know why I selected Men Seeking Calm as the title of the podcast.
Seeking Happiness has many traps which are discussed.
Calm Baseline features include ...
Peace of mind.
A sense of balance.
I feel that in my life there isn’t an overwhelming threat that I can’t handle.
I have enough mutually supportive relationships that keeps my mind in good shape and
I feel that I am living a life of purpose.
Change and deep learning happens from Experiential Learning by interacting with me or a group of other like-minded men which is the motivation to have a membership.
I hope to see you in the membership.
You can convert this podcast as a passive listening experience, to a guy-talking-to-another-guy about men’s business.

Uncalm - Emotional Abuse ... discusses how we use emotional abuse and how it springs from an intention to gain control over our world.
This harms us and our partners.
We need to move from Anger Dysregulation to Calm.
Anger needs to be managed or it will rebound upon us.

Supporting men with:
anger management
emotional regulation
use of domestic violence
relationship skills.
The podcast title has the words – Magic Relationships.
This is our destination; we need to know more about our destination.
If we believe in the destination, then we are drawn to it and our mind starts working on it, and we start making decisions that travel in this direction.
Visualise it and your mind will send you there.
You will start making decisions that send you to a visualised goal.
So ...
I have listed 12 elements that make up a magic relationship.
It’s not a comprehensive list, but it is a good start.
These 12 items are 12 tasks to focus on, to practise, there is no change unless you practise these items over and over again.
Take Care, Greg Martin
