Repressing natural aggressive impulses can lead to issues later in life, such as addiction or anger problems. It's crucial to confront and understand these feelings instead of ignoring them.

Men often feel pressured to suppress their emotions, but it's crucial to find a balance between strength and emotional expression.

Channeling anger and frustration into a worthy cause can transform negative energy into something positive and impactful.

Self-control is a crucial masculine quality; it's about channeling your natural assertiveness and ambition positively.

Physical activity, such as running, can help transmute the energy associated with addiction and distress, providing a healthier outlet for coping.

The gym can serve as a safe haven for many men, providing a sense of progress even when other aspects of life feel chaotic or overwhelming.

Venting negative emotions to others can amplify those feelings, making it counterproductive; instead, we should seek better alternatives for emotional expression.

Acknowledging and channeling dark thoughts into art is healthier than ignoring them, as it allows artists to express universal human experiences.

If you hold onto negative emotions for too long, they become toxic. I've noticed this in my training; for years, I pushed myself hard in the gym without caring, but now I prefer training with friends and feel I've evolved beyond that solo mentality.
