In a world where societal expectations for men – to be strong, confident, composed, capable – are still prevalent, it can be challenging to break away and courageously embrace authenticity.
Life coach Yaniv Shein works mainly with men, facilitating men's groups for youth and adults. In this new episode he shares his philosophy on ‘what it means to be a man’ and the challenges men face in finding their path. A never-ending question that is always present and evolving.
Yaniv shares his personal journey, reflecting on his childhood, when he and his group of friends didn't care about what others thought and created their own rules for what it meant to be a man. As he grew older, went into the army and then the corporate world, he discovered that he didn't truly belong to the story that others were telling.
He encourages you to not trade off one aspect of yourself for another and to explore your individuality and authenticity, even if it means going against the norm. He also emphasizes the importance of becoming aware of, observing and exploring your own emotions and experiences – discovering what’s actually going on inside. One practical way to do that is in men's groups, as a safe space to speak and be vulnerable with others, often leading to powerful and transformative experiences.
Societal pressure on men can lead to a sense of fragility and aggression when capability seems threatened. But this pressure on men to be strong, confident, and not show weakness can be detrimental to mental health and well-being.
Instead, embracing the full range of your emotions and experiences as a human being (of any gender identification) leads to so many expanded options and new opportunities.
To lives more fully lived.
