Quiet Confidence
Mindful Masculinity
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by the noise in your head. It can be so hard to find peace when you’re constantly thinking about everything that needs doing. You don’t have time for yourself or anyone else because you’re too busy trying to get things done. You might even think this is just how life is supposed to be – but it doesn’t have to be this way!
The truth is, there are plenty of ways we can live a more deliberate life where we’re not always rushing around trying to get things done. We can learn to slow down and enjoy the present moment instead of worrying about what’s next on our list. We can make choices that bring us closer to our goals rather than further away from them.
And most importantly, we can start living with purpose – finding meaning in all aspects of our lives, including work, relationships, health, and spirituality. When we do these things, anxiety starts fading into the background while self-confidence rises within us instead!
This isn’t some new-age nonsense or the mindfulness your boss mentioned in a team meeting to help you be more productive. This stuff works if you want it bad enough. And I’m here to help show you how much better life could be.
Quiet Confidence will help guide you through these questions by advising on how to live deliberately. You’ll learn about mindfulness meditation techniques, how to apply them to your everyday life, and ways to simplify your daily routine.
You’ll also learn about self-awareness so that when opportunities come along, whether at work or in relationships, they don’t pass by unnoticed. Most importantly, it can assist you in discovering your own values and desires so that you have something solid to fall back on when times are tough. It’s time for a change! Get out of the endless, boring cycle of being a “Stuck, Struggling Mid-Life Mediocrity Guy” and become the “Quietly Confident Mindfully Masculine Man” you were meant to be.
Calm Mindset
Self-Awareness: full awareness of internal experiences, thoughts, emotions, sensations, preferences, values, etc. AWARE
Clarity of Intention
Self-Exploration & Acceptance: full acknowledgment and acceptance without judgment of self-relevant characteristics and experiences. AWAKE
Congruence of the Authentic Self
Self-Alignment: Using self-knowledge to behave in ways that authentically reflect true nature, values, and needs. ALIVE
You deserve a life of peace, liberation, ease, and fulfillment.
I’ve been there. It sucks to feel like you’re not living your best life because of the stress in your head or the anxiety in your stomach. Maybe you just have (like I did) a general dissatisfaction with life that you can’t quite put your finger on. “Surely this isn’t as good as it gets, is it?” It doesn’t have to be that way! I created Quiet Confidence to help people to live authentically with calm, clarity, and congruence by providing a place to find practical advice on how to develop a mindfulness practice and apply that to all aspects of everyday life. To obtain peace, liberation, health, and fulfillment.
The world is full of so many distractions – from our phones buzzing with notifications every few minutes to social media feeds filled with people who seem happier than we are – they’re all just distractions that keep us from what really matters most…ourselves. Quiet Confidence is an oasis for those seeking tranquility amidst the chaos. You deserve more than just another self-help book or blog post, more than another productivity hack or relaxation technique. You deserve an entire lifestyle change that will help you live authentically, cultivating your Mindset, Heartset, Healthset, and Soulset.
The luminous light of your true nature is revealed when you let the clouds of uncertainty and confusion wash across the sky of your mind. That authenticity becomes a radiating, natural expression. It gives you self-confidence in your capabilities to be a thoughtful and kind human. By radiating that brilliance to everyone you meet, you bring your own unique beauty to the world. When you have faith in your own true nature, the brilliant radiance of Quiet Confidence will naturally rise.
I’m Bryan. I’m a former introverted, timid, misunderstood, unsatisfied, pessimistic, depressive diffident who, above all, feared mediocrity (you know, normal) turned mindfulness evangelist. It’s the foundation of my revolt against mediocrity and building a peaceful, liberated, healthy, fulfilled life. I’m perfect just as I am and could use some improvement.
That’s my journey. I’m still on my journey. I have more questions than answers, and I do have moments where I’m off track. I keep learning, keep discovering, and keep growing. This is my attempt to articulate my learnings and discoveries as I continue on my journey. I continue to share my personal experiences and insights here.

Common Habits:
Non-Expressiveness
Not standing up for yourself at work so as not to make waves. Not letting others know what you want and need in a relationship, intimacy, or sex. Trying to avoid the discomfort of feeling emotions, speaking in a very flat way.
Emotional Reactivity
Trying to control too much. Having a short fuse, getting angry easily, and overreacting. Aggressive or violent behavior. Hopelessness and depression. Getting stuck in cycles of blaming other people for your problems.
Intimate Relationship Habits
Trying to avoid getting close to people. Too needy and demanding (you need your partner to make you feel like a complete man). Being closed to deeper connection and intimacy (Not good at getting along with other people). Overly analytical. Putting in more hours than necessary at work. Not satisfying, not passionate, and not connected to the heart. Avoiding conversations that demand emotionality or transparency.
Nice Guy
Trying to avoid conflict at all costs/not wanting to make waves. Trying to do everything “right.” Trying to make everyone happy or being too agreeable in interactions. Trying to hide who you are, your flaws, and your weaknesses. Too much focus on thinking and not enough on feeling. Having more relationships with women than with men. Putting down their own needs and wants. Stuck in a bad relationship where they have to save the other person. Feeling dissatisfied after sex.
Emotional Repression
Stonewalling/emotional armoring and shutting down: feeling heavy and cut off from other people. Tending to self-medicate and distract yourself with porn, drugs, alcohol, TV, shopping, and sex.
Being distant in close relationships means avoiding eye contact, talking as little as possible, and having shallow conversations. You don’t talk about your emotional problems. Avoiding dealing with the dark things in your closet. Living with sexual shame about how well you perform or how big your penis is. Constantly trying to please others can make you feel like you’re not good enough.
Avoiding Vulnerability
You try to fix “the problem” to avoid getting close to someone. Stonewalling partners. Trying hard to impress others with a self-centric focus: talking about yourself and achievements.
Harsh Self-Judgment
Thoughts like, “I’m such a asshole,” “I’m so stupid,” etc. that are hard on yourself. Choosing to ignore your intuition and doing things you know aren’t in line with your truth. Unrealistic comparison to other men: partners, wealth, looks, body (height, weight, build), career, family attainments.
Lack of Integrity
Not doing what you say you’re going to do. Unconscious speech. Not following through on plans/intentions (lack of discipline). Not taking care of things/putting things off. Not taking care of yourself (poor self-care).
