Hey Phil - thanks so much for taking the time to write the comment - as I say, you watch them for the same reason I make them! More to come (I’m editing one right now…!!) here’s to 2024!!!
Happy new year! Anything psychology and mindset related is great! Would also love to see a series in the lead up to an event again. Always nice to follow those sorts of journeys! Most of all, enjoy 2024!
Thanks mate - and a happy new year to you too!! Yep - I have plans for some adventures this year - but the reason and why they fit my life has defo changed - their purpose has - and if anything I’m more excited by them now than ever!
Thanks Gez - and for you too - I know you will have a blast along the way, no matter what!! Here’s to another ace 12 months headed mostly the right direction!!!
The acoustic version of that song become my ‘deep breath’ before opening Zoom each day and teaching lectures online during lockdown - I used it to shut off everything that was going on n the house with Bex’ treatment and lockdown etc - and that ‘I’m a little divided. Do I stay or run away - leave it all behind - it’s time like these you learn to live again… it’s times like these you give and give again’ cut through me every single day. I’ve never really had songs mean anything to me in the way they do to others - not like that - never like that… but that one… I even got the guitar back out around then to figure out the chords and that restarted me writing again… one song… big impact…!! Thanks for watching them - it’s why I make them..!!
@@1stElement it really is amazing the impact one song can have. Music has always resonated like that with me. Lyrics and lines from songs always miraculously pop into my head at the absolute perfect moment. The moments can be happy or sad but the lyrics are always apt. I need to start playing guitar again myself this year. I've been putting it on the long finger for way too long. Anyway take care big fella and keep on truckin'.
Same to you an amazing next 12 month to you and the family. Your right I particularly agree with you on points 1 and three. When my head and heart aren’t right I can’t be the dad and husband I would like to be, everything just seams soo much harder. As for this comfort crisis we are so over stimulated and soft as a society, and the next generation is worse. I would be surprised if I’m 75 percent the man my grandfather was and where does it go from here I hope I’m wrong but time will tell
IKR?! Why has it taken me 47 years to figure this out…?!? Why? I actually feel a bit stupid how long it’s taken for the penny to drop for me…!! Here’s to a massive 2024 dude! Happy new year!!
If this comment helps I'm more than happy to leave it. I look forward to more thought provoking content in 2024 from you. Much appreciated. P.S. I'm dipping my toe into the world of sobriety in about 10 mins, my journey begins......
I read this last night but wanted to reply this morning as I thought it might be more useful. You’re where I was 365 days ago. If you’re where I am in 365 days time then I envy the journey you’re about to go on - obvs everyone’s experience and relationship with alcohol is different and I don’t know yours - but - whatever yours is and wherever you’re at - I can assure you that not drinking is far, far better than doing so. No matter where your head is at a specific moment in time - I assure you it takes a split second and very little energy to make the choice not too. You just have to not want to. Keep me posted and if you don’t follow me on Instagram (if you’re in it) the. Find me @hydrogencoach or @jhesterdrums and message me if you ever need someone to message. Happy new year. It will be.
@1stElementEndurance appreciate you taking the time to reply, I'll check you out on insta for sure. Thanks for the offer of being there if I need a word. We're off for our dog walk now, trying not to see too many other folk & definitely not finishing in the pub 😃 Have a great new year!
Your channel has been a massive inspiration for me in 2023 and I will follow you through 2024 as I go again. Sent you a message on IG, I think YT has been deleting some of my comments too!.
I’ve replied on Insta. Thanks for messaging. My thoughts are in there - private from my side too! We go again. Yes. Every day we do. Every minute we can make that choice too. Odd about YT…! Not had that before I dont think..!! But thank you - every video I’m putting out seems to find more people like us - and we can support and encourage and say it’s ok to not have to lie to ourselves to justify stuff we’re scared of admiting…
Thanks for watching - here's to 2024 gang!! Loving all the messages you've been sending!
Great channel. I love the analysis, mentality to improve, and to ‘do’ to learn. Keep up the great work. Thank you!
