This week on the Mindful Living Guide, I have the pleasure of
speaking to someone who is very well known in
Ireland, Daragh Fleming of the Thoughts
too Big blog
Daragh is an author, freelance writer, and award-winning mental
health blogger from Cork, Ireland. In 2022 his blog recently won
Mental Health Blog of the year and has been an inspiration to many
people. His extremly popular Book, Lonely Boy s about a man trying
to be at peace with himself and his past, so that he can navigate
his future. A past that includes loosing a close friend to
suicide at a very young age.
In the Episode, we chat about Daraghs own journey with depression
and how it leaves you in a Numb emotionless state as well as:
- Break stereotypes: Allow men to express emotions without
judgment.
- Evolving attitudes: Shift towards accepting men's emotional
expression.
- Coping methods: Writing, exercise, sleep, hydration for mental
health.
- Balance solitude and socialization for better mental
well-being.
- Ownership of mental health through daily, controllable
actions.
- Humour as a tool to disarm shame and address challenges.
We also touch on how having a strong mental attitude was a game
changer recently when he was the victim of a blackmail
attempt. Daragh was able to take control back of the
situation.
