My fellow men, it’s time to stop being meek and start being mighty. In a world that values political correctness and sensitivity, we’ve lost sight of what it means to be masculine. But here’s the thing: meekness is not only emasculating, it’s also a health risk for men. Yes, you heard that right. By constantly worrying about hurting others’ feelings, being too available, and having weak boundaries, we are actually putting our health at risk.
Let’s start with the science behind it. Meekness has been linked to lower testosterone levels in men. And we all know that testosterone is the hormone that makes us manly. So by succumbing to meekness, we’re essentially suppressing our manhood. And this has serious consequences. Low testosterone levels can lead to increased anxiety, depression, and even physical health problems. Not to mention, it also affects our sex drive and muscle mass.
What is the answer? It‘s not complicated, my brothers. We must tap into our inner strength and let go of meekness. And here‘s how:
1. Hit the gym – It’s time to pump some iron and get those testosterone levels soaring. Plus, a fit body will make you feel more confident and assertive in all aspects of life.
2. Take a digital detox – Put down your phone and disconnect from the constant need to be available. Stop worrying about responding to every message and focus on yourself for a change.
3. Plan and say no – Have a plan for your day and stick to it. And when something comes up that interferes with your plans, don’t be afraid to say no. Your time is valuable, don’t let others dictate it.
4. Take calculated risks – I’m not talking about jumping off a cliff here. But taking calculated risks, whether it’s betting on sports or investing in stocks, can help you break out of your meekness and boost your confidence.
5. Embrace the cold – Taking cold showers or swimming in cold water has been shown to increase testosterone levels. Plus, it’ll toughen you up and help you face any challenges that come your way.
6. Eat adventurously – Forget your usual grilled chicken and broccoli, try something new. Make a list of exotic animals you want to try and start checking them off. Not only will it spice up your taste buds, but it’ll also be a fun adventure.
7. Start your day with burpees – Nothing says “I’m ready to conquer the day” like a set of burpees. It’ll get your blood flowing and set the tone for the rest of your day.
It’s time for us, as men, to reclaim our masculinity and stop letting meekness hold us back. Don’t be afraid to take risks, say no, and assert yourself. Your health and your manhood depend on it.
