Number one reason has got to be November! Yes, you read right! November!
Why November? Because the annual Movember event is held in November every year to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and men’s suicide.
This year, Tiger Beer joined the Movember conversations to raise awareness of men’s mental health issues drawing our attention to the need to nurture healthy habits and attitudes that can promote wellness.
Here are five other reasons why men must uncage:
- Uncaging Doesn’t Mean Weakness
Rather it shows strength! Men have historically been considered the stronger ones of the gender divide. When tragedy strikes, men are expected to maintain manly courage, and in many cultures, public display of emotion by men is frowned upon. Young boys are often raised to believe that men do not cry. This has made many guys develop an unhealthy mechanism for managing stress, pain, disappointment, failures, and other emotional crises. All these feelings were addressed in Tiger’s Instagram Live with Noble and Psychebabble Foundation. Letting those feelings out and expressing yourself isn’t a sign of weakness but one of boldness.
- Self-Expression is Important
Mastered the strength that comes with uncaging? Now, you have to embrace self-expression. You need an outlet for those emotions. You can express yourself in many ways and with inspiration from Tiger, you can try arts, music, fashion and even food! With its #UncageYourTash challenge, Tiger even sent out care packages to those who expressed themselves in Movember. You see, anything and everything goes, it all depends on you.
- You Only Live Once
This is a big lesson 2020 has taught everyone. What’s the saying again? You only live once! With the pandemic, lockdown, global demonstrations, economic downturns, frustrations and general woes, the year has taught everyone to just “live life”. From the photos from the Tiger x Mancave event, the message was clear – chill, relax, do some self-care and live in the moment.
- Do It For Your Bros
It helps when guys like you can see you “living” – uncaging without a care in the world. It shows them what’s possible and encourages them to also live life on their own terms.
With Movember, Tiger beer encouraged everyone to avoid bottling up their emotions but to freely uncage, expressing themselves!
