In this episode of "Man Up, Man Down," David and Volker chat with Alex Walton about his journey to happiness and the creation of his "Kind Mind Method." This method emerged from Alex's project, "Find My Story," where he left envelopes with short stories and positive messages around Norwich and eventually worldwide, aiming to spread hope. This act of kindness was reflective of his battle with anxiety, negative thinking, and depression.
Alex shares that the turning point in overcoming his mental health struggles was adopting a simple mantra: asking himself how he could help others or make them smile. This thought process allowed him to shift his focus away from negative thoughts and be present in the moment, especially with his family. The "Kind Mind Method" is based on kindness, simplicity, and choice, emphasising the power of positive thinking and the benefits of doing good deeds for others and oneself.
Despite initially doing this project for his well-being, Alex found that it not only helped him cope with his internal battles but also positively impacted those around him. The method is about changing one's internal dialogue to focus on positive engagement with the world rather than performing acts of kindness for recognition or a sense of duty. Alex's story highlights the profound effect that a change in mindset can have on personal happiness and the well-being of others.
