Separation, A Time Of Change: Warrior Wellbeing Article

Nobody goes into a marriage thinking that it will end in separation or divorce, however many blokes find that when their marriages do end, that separation and divorce are among the toughest experiences they will ever have to face. Blokes go through a range of intense emotions during this time, including loneliness and sadness; shock, hurt and bewilderment; anger and frustration and sometimes relief that differences are finally out in the open. These responses to distress are all perfectly normal. Thankfully, most blokes can face these challenges and go on living fulfilling and happy lives, keeping in mind of course that this does take time.

We’ve all heard the old rule of thumb “8 glasses of water per day”. We shouldn’t be surprised to learn that this is an approximation for the average person and doesn’t consider gender or lifestyle.  In fact, eight glasses a day might actually be leaving us dehydrated and the average intake for blokes might have to be revised upwards to about 13 glasses.

Allowing Ourselves to be Vulnerable: Warrior Wellbeing Article

Vulnerability has many different connotations, for some people it may be when we:

  • haven’t got adequate protection around us or mechanisms in place to protect our physical or emotional wellbeing i.e. family support;
  • are extremely susceptible, which can be reflected in our individual capacity to cope or deal with stuff;
  • are physically or psychologically weakened, which can inhibit our ability to resist illness and failure(hardship?)
