Daily Movement: Whether it’s walking, exercising, or dancing, moving your body is crucial for releasing pent-up energy and staying grounded. 🏃‍♂️
Presence Practice: Activities like meditation, martial arts, or even chopping vegetables can help you stay in the moment and reduce stress. 🧘‍♂️
Time in Nature: Reconnect with the outdoors by going for a walk, breathing fresh air, and feeling the sunlight on your skin. 🌳

Through these simple yet powerful rituals, Jeff explains how to regain your balance and start building a life of purpose and happiness.

Jeff also walks us through his 5-step framework for healing after divorce:

Get Emotional Distance: Build boundaries with your ex to stop the cycle of reaction and conflict. 🛑
Develop Emotional Awareness: Identify your triggers and start understanding the root of your emotional reactions. 💡
Take Responsibility: Own your role in the relationship and focus on what you can control. 🤝
Reconnect with Your Heart: Rediscover who you are, learn self-love, and operate from a place of truth. ❤️
Start Building: Once you’ve healed, focus on creating a life of strength, purpose, and fulfillment. 🏗️

Jeff emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-love, reminding us that healing begins within. “You can’t rebuild while you’re still bleeding,” he says, urging men to focus on their own growth before trying to fix everything else.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling lost after divorce. Whether you’re struggling with co-parenting, rebuilding your life, or simply trying to find peace, Jeff’s insights will inspire you to take the next step. 🌈
