Last year I had a series of 30 day challenges (see sidebar). This month I want each and every one of you do something manly, especially something that's out of your comfort zone.
The goal is to be more active and ideally it be something that accentuates and celebrates masculinity, and helps develop your skillset. Doing so not only improves your SMV, but it will help give you some perspective.
Here's a few examples to get your started:
- Take an introductory martial arts class
- Go to the shooting range
- Grow a beard
- Chop down a tree
- Go hunting
- Make a bonfire
- Go camping over the weekend
- Build an emergency bug-out-bag/kit
- Go with some male friends to an upscale Scotch/cigar bar
- Suit up!
- Work on your car, even if it's changing the oil or rotating the tires
Post other ideas you might have and report back on what you've accomplished throughout the month. I want you to think about what lessons you learned from the experience.
