The Caveman
Even as a cop I never expected it. One night shift I faced a gunman, although even after 15 years there is still a lot of pain, it resulted in an incredible gift of perspective. It was the universe tapping me on the shoulder, saying, "let's focus on what truly matters!" Walking away unharmed was my personal miracle, and it immediately sparked a curiosity: how can we thrive and find joyful longevity even when life throws us a curveball?
I realised that the intense, primal stress that I felt on that day, was just a more extreme version of the daily pressure cooker we all live in. Whether you're running a thriving business or balancing family and trying to find some self-care, the juggle is real! But for this glass-half-full Caveman, every challenge is simply an opportunity for growth and greater mental clarity.
The Three Keys to Unlocking Your Best Self
My own journey of transforming that high-stakes moment into a high-value purpose led to the creation of The Caveman Principles, now in its second edition. It’s a cheerful guide to tackling the three modern challenges that can dim our inner self: Stress, Communication, and Change.
After years of thought, these aren't problems to dread; they are opportunities for success!
Stress is Energy: We can choose to let stress crush us, or we can see it as pure energy waiting to be channelled. It's our body giving us a boost! The key is to manage the reaction, then the source. I learned to convert panic into a positive, simple action plans, instantly calming the nervous system and regaining focus.
Communication is Connection: So much daily friction comes from misunderstanding, both with our loved ones and others. Are you truly speaking their language, believing you have helped? I believe that we must read others, before communicating is the pathway to harmonious living and brilliant business results.
Change is Celebration: Success means growing, and growth means changing! Instead of resisting, we should tackle change as we have a chance to evolve into a better, brighter versions of ourselves. Embracing the inevitable flow of change makes us resilient, adaptable, and far more fun to be around!
Your Mental Health Boost is easier than you think
My dramatic incident and the years that followed forced me to see life differently. The lessons I packed into The Caveman Principles are designed to give others the same clarity without having to face a crisis first.
For anyone seeking a boost in mental health and balance, think about stress as a strength and not you being fragile, it is primal and powerful. By simplifying your response to Stress, clarifying your Communication, and embracing Change, you instantly tap into your natural Caveman success code.
Everything happens for a reason. My reason was to share this simple, upbeat path so you can build success, achieve longevity, and feel wonderful while doing it!
