Treat mental health like physical health: Do the Heavy Lifting in Therapy.

We don't really identify mental health as the energy that it deserves. And I think I can speak for a lot of men in my community or culture. You know, when you talk about mental health, it's always been associated or tied to weakness. It's always been aligned with something negative. But for me, mental health, as I grow into a man, a friend, a brother, has been something that you really have to give the awareness to it that it definitely deserves. I think healthy masculinity is awareness. Awareness to the degree when you are aware of your emotions, emotionally intelligent to you and others. I think the biggest thing with men, when you're able to open up and use your words to articulate how you feel emotionally, I think that's healthy masculinity to me is just being in control of you and everything else will flourish from you being disciplined and controlling your emotions and controlling yourself.
