I think as guys, we’re pre-disposed to ‘get our heads down and get on with the job’. This doesn’t just apply to work, in fact it probably applies less to work than it does to Life.
By that I mean that we are so busy trying to get ‘somewhere’ that we don’t actually stop, take a breath, and work out whether we are on the right road, or if in fact we even want to still go to that place.
For women, reviewing comes naturally; it’s part of sharing. They discuss, reflect and plan. For us, it doesn’t come so naturally. At WMD, we believe that for guys, a review can only really be done on your own. It’s not that an opinion from a mate isn’t great; it’s just that, like with a restaurant you can forget the five star reviews, it’s really only what you think that counts – they’re your taste-buds and your standards.
Because of the endless distractions that surround us it takes discipline and determination to make the time to tune-in to yourself; the deeper sensing parts and your gut feelings. We’re not saying this is a daily thing, or weekly or monthly, but as with any journey, if you don’t look up every now and again, you may find yourself in Bristol, when in fact you wanted to go to Bradford.
We think a lot of mid-life crises and miserable marriages could be avoided if guys took the time to check-in with their internal compasses more. So getting in-tune with it now, will help you make the big decisions on the horizon and then weigh-up
whether they work for you.
My big reviews usually take place when I’m on long journeys. I don’t love traveling by plane, but it has its perks. For me, I find that the combination of raised anxiety, altitude and lack of distraction (I often travel alone), create a deeper focus than I experience day-to-day. So whenever I fly, I take this as my cue to check-in with myself.
The focus I achieve, helps my gut feelings reach my mind with a new-found clarity. My latest journey has been more revelationary than usual, perhaps because it was timed with the arrival of the New Year; a natural time to review and re-focus ourselves.
With space, time and focus (and, for me at lest, an

These could confirm that as things stand, you feel deep-down that you’re on the right road. Equally though, they may reveal that you’ve taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way (or maybe you took the train, when a taxi would have been better).
My latest delve into the abyss revealed a bit of both. For now, while I think I’m on the right road, the destination isn’t crystal clear. And I’m okay with that.
