Raising emotionally strong boys | Opinion

Devon’s goal was to raise awareness of mental health and to raise funds for veterans. He wanted to start a conversation about both physical and mental strength because he knew the importance of both.

We must help them recognize how often they answer the question of “What are you feeling?” with a thought rather than an emotion. It’s important to understand both. Thoughts inform emotions. Emotions inform behaviors. All three are connected, but separate. Unless we understand the interplay among the three, we can get roadblocked for a lifetime.
