Hi all,

I have had some great times with Qualitybloke.com but I feel it has run it’s course for now.I would like to thanks my readers for sticking by me but I feel a break from Qualitybloke is needed right now.

I have decided to take an indefinate break from the site and concentrate on my main site:

My initial thoughts after watching the video (It seems to help me to center my thoughts by writing them out after watching something like this – I will write an article proper on this later on):

This video really resonated with me. Negative thoughts have always been a major issue with me, for nearly all my life. I struggle daily with repetitive thoughts and it seems that they only go away when I am busy, or in reality, as Tyler says, when I am in the present moment. Most of what is said in the video I have tried on some level, where I dabbled in and out of each technique or read some of the book, but I don’t think I gave each a fair chance. I would do a technique for a while, see some success and then for some reason, any slight ‘bump in the road’ would mean I would stop it and go back to old ways and old thinking.

In terms of the methods: I took anti-depressants twice in my life. I am not ashamed of this. Unfortunately, I don’t think they really helped me. This created a lot of negative side effects in me. Both times I was prescribed them, I was at a really low ebb and it seemed every day was piling a new ton of crap onto it. I couldn’t explain to anyone why I was feeling down and no matter how hard I tried, it just didn’t feel right. The stock response from the doctor was to prescribe drugs. They took the edge off the feelings but didn’t really address what the underlying issue was. They were treating the symptoms but not the actual problem. This caused me to look elsewhere (and go off them cold turkey – but that’s another story!). Meditating is a big one. It feels stupid at first, but it is amazing how after a few sessions, you start to notice that your brain quietens down. I couldn’t reader ‘The Power of Now’ as I felt it was a bit too new-age bullshit for my liking. Reframing negative thoughts to positive was working but it felt like I was fighting back a tidal wave of negativity that I couldn’t compete with. As for being in the moment, I just couldn’t do this as a one way strategy. My repetitive thoughts seemed to be always hammering away at my mind and eventually I always let them in. I think the only way to beat this negative loop is to do as he advises and work this on a multi-level approach.

Sadly, I have allowed negative thinking to really ruin my life. I am now 29 and think that I have wasted each year. I see the negative as outweighing the positive. I have done some cool stuff and met some cool people but sadly, I am letting negative bullshit hold me back. Yet, this video got me a little teary eyed. It seems like this is my future sending me a little wake up call. I am going to do the above techniques and see how I go. I reckon a little challenge is in order. Something that I can report back to you, to keep me accountable.

Firstly, let me apologise for the delay in new content being added to the site. It has been a rather chaotic few weeks. From job interviews, to doing voluntary work to the birth of my Nephew, it has been hard to draw breath and write some new content!

Today, I have decided to post a short video on motivation, that Rob Judge has kindly allowed me to use on my site. It is something that a lot of guys have been emailing me about. To be honest, I don’t need motivation as I love women but if you have been in the game for a while or relatively new and constantly being blown out, you sometimes need a little motivational prod to get back in the saddle (so to speak!)

In this video he breaks down the factors of motivation, looks at how to solve the issues that may be holding you back and gives you the motivational kick up the ass that you’ve been needing. Do you find that your motivation is lacking? Do you find yourself saying, ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ where you know that you won’t. As I am slowly learning, life is short and we need to make the most of every moment we have available to us. Watch this video and go on to better and better successes!

Please watch and let me know what you think in the comments below.

It was my first attempt to grow anything out of my facial hair and I am not very impressed! I typically stay clean shaved all the time, so it was weird letting my facial hair grow (or attempt to anyway!). My top lip has been very itchy. It was strange and somewhat disconcerting finding bits of food that were sticking to my tashe!

So can I grow a moustache? Let’s have a look:

Answer: Sort off! (Well, I can grow a bum fluff one anyway!)

So that is the final result of my 2011 attempt – not bad! Roll on 2012′s Movember for another stab at it! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your St Andrews Day and we’ll talk soon. I’m out for dinner tonight with the family for my birthday meal out and then it’s only a few short weeks before I become an uncle for the first time. I really can’t wait.

Bye for now.

The ’4 Hour Chef’

It’s the latest book by amazing author and lifestyle hacker, Tim Ferriss. He is the man that taught millions how to have the life of their dreams in the ’4 Hour Workweek’ and millions more on how to develop the body of their dreams in the ’4 Hour Body’. Tim’s new book will teach you how to become a God in the Kitchen too!

It is being hyped as THE ‘cookbook for those who don’t buy cookbooks’! As men who are looking to learn and develop ourselves, nutrition is typically where we fall down the most. Tim’s book not only helps you with buying and selecting ingredients, how to make the meals etc, each one is also guaranteed to impress your latest girl!

I only highlight the stuff I think you should buy. I will definitely be buying this book. I am a big fan of the other two books. I recommend you get it now!

P.S. If you pre-order it now, you will get it for an insane low price! None of the above links are affiliate links BTW.
