Monday. Here we go again lads!
I´m feeling flat as a fart today, and I know I´m not the only one. When I´m feeling a bit shit I constantly have to remind myself that I don't need to have my whole life sorted this week. You don't need some massive transformation. Just do a few things that make you feel like you're back in control. Get outside. Move your body. Eat something decent. Sort one thing you've been putting off. And if your head's all over the place, talk to someone. That's what this place is for. No pretending we've got it all figured out. No bullshit. Just a bunch of blokes trying to get ourselves back on track. What's one thing you're going to do for yourself this week? Doesn't have to be massive. Drop it below. 👊🏻 P.S...I am going to arrange another group call this week. Anyone wanting to get on it and just talk things out and get to know each other a bit, let me know what days and times would be good for you and I will try and arrange a time to suit everyone. Cheers lads, Hope you all have a good day!

I was feeling exactly the same yesterday mate, proper down and questioning things, like how are we gonna cope without my wage and can I make my own business work! Andy's Man Club last night helped and finally spoke to the Mrs about how I feel!! Felt a lot better about things today and got a couple of jobs come in workwise👍 Like you @Anthony Parkin I enjoy a good hike mate, really helps clear my head, luckily I'm only 2 minutes away from open fields.

@Anthony Parkin spot on mate, I'll keep my eye out for those 👍 Far too good at bottling things up mate, I need to open up more tbh! Up for the group call Friday mate, put the world to rights again 😂
Group call

Either work for me mate
Sorry I've been missing for a while.
Been a bit quiet in here… I owe you guys an update. I haven’t posted in about a month. A lot has happened. I lost my job, had a bit of a wobble trying to figure out what the hell I was doing next, and then I came over to Greece for the last couple of weeks. And honestly… I needed the break. Sometimes you can spend so much time thinking about what you should be doing that you forget to just stop for a minute. But I’m coming back with a clearer head. The whole point of Working Man Reset was never to pretend we’ve got everything figured out. It’s for blokes who are tired, burnt out, stuck, starting again, or simply know they need to change something but don't know where to begin. That includes me. So I’m getting things moving again in here and I want to know how we are all doing. Let me know whats been happening with you guys. Anthony

Hope you had a good holiday mate. Same as you mate, lost my job (finished on sickness capability) over 9 years of service only to be spoken down to and disrespected! We're just numbers to employers unfortunately! Then 3 days later, my 3rd and our 2nd daughter Paisley entered the world 6 weeks early 😲 been quite a manic 2 weeks 😂 I've also taken the first steps to go self employed again and starting a garden and outdoor maintenance business! Obviously not the most ideal time of year with it being the end of summer but I wanted to make a start and get something in place! Plus I consider myself to be 'unemployable' at the moment, due to still having no diagnosis or medication for my bowel issues! So we'll see how things go! I must admit the mental affects of everything that's happened this year have taken their toll on me but I'm trying to be positive, which is easier said than done and do still have days when I think what's the point! Hope you're all well gents

Cheers mate appreciate it 🤝
Group call.
How we doing lads? Was thinking of doing a group call one day this week, just a casual one to shoot the shit, talk about stuff on our minds etc and maybe get to know each other a bit better. Let me know if any of you would be interested in the comments and I will try and arrange a time that suits everyone. Cheers Anthony
