25.01.2022 What do you determine as a good man? So often I get caught up on this because I feel that it gets confused in with being perfect, so when I dont meet this mark of perfection, that means that I mustnt be good. But thats inaccurate. You dont need to be perfect to be good. You dont have to be a psychologist to talk to someone about how theyre going. You dont need to be famous to be inspiring. Dont argue about how bad someone else is because you cant control others to be good, but you can lead an example of the good you want to see in this world. #goodman

24.01.2022 We recently checked in with our mates at Positive T Shirts to have a chat about mental health. I left the chat feeling so inspired and encouraged that theres guys like Neil! Share some love to Positive T-shirts and check out their website at www.positivetshirts.com.au

24.01.2022 Great article from the champions at MensLine Australia. As men, we can change the way we talk and approach our mental health. We can change this message by knowing that we all have to work on our 'mental fitness' and things in our life that we might be struggling with. So let's all check in with a mate today to make a change in the way we all talk about our mental health #CheckInTuesday

23.01.2022 Its not about what people can see, but what they cant see. Just like socks in our shoes, theres often more going on than what we see from the outside. As blokes, were still learning that by talking about our mental health and well-being with a mate, we arent burdening them with our problems - were releasing our own minds of them. #dontbottleitup #talk #grablifebythecherries

23.01.2022 And now its time for check-in Tuesday!! Last week you may have seen a list of things to do for a weekly mental health check-in, so we wanted to check-in with yall! At Grow A Pair, were very focussed on having a check-in buddy, hence the pair part of the brand... our most practical tip is to put it in a calendar/reminder. Have a mate who you can have a quick chat with, once a week to see how theyre going, and just be someone to listen to. If they have stresses and struggles, you dont have to have the answers. Just be real! Side note: Were really feeling for all of our mates in VIC, who are really going through some hectic times now so if you need anything or need to have a chat, please reach out. DM us if you need to! Were all here for each other #checkintuesday

23.01.2022 Alright dads... lets have some fun today!! We want some stories We had an accident in our house on the weekend involving our toddler and a toy... that accident being the I got smacked in the eye with it So for our check-in Tuesday today, we want to hear your stories or share your photos of times that youve been on the wrong end of a toy at home thats caused an injury!! #checkintuesday #dadlife

23.01.2022 Heres a great Monday motivator for you!! Take time to unwind and schedule in some rest time. Balance doesnt always mean that things are equal. Throughout this year, the balance of our normal has changed. Weve had to shift the balance on some areas of our lives and that takes a lot of energy out of us. So if or when we have a chance, take a mental health day or go somewhere for a day or weekend. Dont fear rest because that can be all you need to come back to feel rejuvenated and in a clearer head space. Depending on how youve been raised, that may be a great feat because of the feeling that you only take sick days when youre physically unwell, but let me ask you this if you can be physically unwell, doesnt that mean that you can also be mentally unwell? #findyourunwind #howsyourmentalhealth

23.01.2022 Take time to reflect Take us back to the time we could so easily holiday somewhere!! Especially to here When we went to Tasmania, I had to drop in to @sullivanscovewhisky and wow, what a room!!... Over the next few weeks we’re taking some time for some things that can help keep your mental health in check. When I take time to reflect, I like to look back at some photos like this - to enjoy reflecting and realizing how much I’ve grown and our family’s grown. It’s pretty awesome to reflect on that!! What’s your way to reflect?? . . . . By purchasing from Grow A Pair, you enable us to donate to mental health organisations in Australia. Let’s put our best foot forward and change culture for men to be comfortable with their mental health. Link in bio or at www.growapair.net.au #throwbackthursday

23.01.2022 What’s going on in your head?? We wanted a reminder to keep something on your mind (see what we did there...??). Mental health month is only as a reminder of what habits that you want in your every day life to construct yourself better as a person, whether it be mentally or physically. How are you planning to keep your mental health on your mind after this month??... We will have the cherry hats available very soon for purchasing so keep watching and keep mental health on your mind #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthmonth

22.01.2022 It’s the last week of mental health month!! At Grow A Pair, we believe in having mates like these legends that are standing by me here!! They’re people that you can talk authentically about your mental health. Not just being ‘good’ all the time. Too many times we hear about guys just not even knowing about the struggles their mate was going through... why is that?? Are we unsure of how they’ll respond? Do we have insecurities that they’ll look at us different? Is it because we don’t want to feel like we’re burdening others? What’s your thoughts?? #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthmonth #yourmatesmatter

22.01.2022 Check these out!!! we loved doing these socks as a collaboration with Mental Awareness Foundation. Let’s all get behind them, raise some money for them for the great work they’re doing and get these awesome socks!! Design by @anthonymatthewdesign

22.01.2022 Take time These days, our lives are going non-stop so this week, we want to encourage you all to take time with these things to keep a check on your mental health. Take time to rest. ... Take time to reflect. Take time to be present. Take time to eat. Take time to talk. Take time to listen. Take time to give. Take time for yourself. Take time for others. Take time to be thankful. Take time to look ahead. What have you come to realise that you need to take time for?? By purchasing from Grow A Pair, you enable us to donate to mental health organisations in Australia. Let’s put our best foot forward and change culture for men to be comfortable with their mental health. Link in bio or at www.growapair.net.au

22.01.2022 Alright people pleasers out there like me! This tip is also for me!! Being that its Monday, this is very appropriate for today. Our tip for sustaining yourself with your work load is: being able to say no sometimes and knowing what you want to say yes to. Now, I know what youre thinking Im not talking about saying no when your work asks you to do something thats not a great tip!! Were meaning about when youre struggling to keep up with everything going on! Lis...ten to your body, and probably more importantly, your brain. Too often we say yes to attending EVERYTHING. Prioritise what your yess are - whether thats family, your spouse, or your mates. We need to learn to say things like, sorry, Im not able to make it tonight every now and then to make sure that you take time to sleep or sometimes just to rest! Keep safe and healthy legends #mondaymotivation #priorities See more

21.01.2022 Whos your handful of people? For Grow A Pair this R U OK day, we want you the think of a handful of people. A handful of people that you can talk honestly with; people that encourage you; people that strengthen you; people that you trust. R U OK day isnt about only having a conversation today, but a reminder that you should do it regularly. To have an accountability with a handful of mates that you know have your back when you need them. So schedule with a handful of mates today to catch up and talk, and make sure theyre really doing ok #ruokday

20.01.2022 Lets DO Monday! I always didnt understand this quote from yoda... what do you meant that theres no try? I try all the time. I try to be a better father, friend, worker, husband. But I finally understood. Dont just give something a try. Commit, give it your everything - thats where you can do. Grow A Pair is all for doing. We want to see a change in men, to not just think about talking to someone about any struggles theyre having, but to DO it. We all may try, but we need to just do it - start a conversation with a mate today with how theyre DOing. #mondaymotivation

20.01.2022 Was great to #talkitout with Wes from Mental Awareness Foundation. We're all about wanting to change the status quo of how we approach our mental health - we just need to grow a pair and talk about it. It's easier and simpler than how we overthink it in our own heads! Now we're getting so pumped now for the Walk For Awareness in October. Who thinks that we need to get Wes a new pair of socks though??!! #mensmentalhealth #growapairau

20.01.2022 Do you fear making mistakes? Fears of making mistakes can prevent us from growing and learning from them. Miles Davis isnt saying that he never made a mistake, but when we make a mistake in life, make it into a learning opportunity to make something better from it instead of stopping you from reaching your goals. #mondaymotivation #learnfromyourmistakes #growapair

20.01.2022 We want to hear from you! We know the spectrum of topics that are included in mental health so we want you to tell us what's on your mind right now. It could be anxiety, stress, family or just wanting to improve your mental health. Comment below or DM if you don't want to publicly share. We aren't trained professionals so if it's beyond us, we'll advise to professional help. We're always here to listen and assist where we can!

20.01.2022 YOU can be the change This is Grow A Pair BEFORE it existed! This photo has never been shared because I had a fear. That fear was that I had a dream, an idea, and I didnt want to share it on social media in case that idea never took off the ground. Ironically, this was in a session with Nick Bowditch about what you could do if you didnt have fear What Ive learnt over this last year though, is that fear is ok because that can mean that you care about something. You ...dont have to be afraid of fear, but you also cant let it dictate your actions or dreams. Grow A Pair exists because as a society, as men, we often have a fear of talking about our struggles because we dont know how people will respond to it. We could be judged, become a topic of gossip or brushed off and told to get over it. So today, our challenge is to find a mate that you trust and talk about your fears, think of the fear you have from going after your dreams, and make a change in your world #changeforbetter #FearLess www.growapair.net.au

19.01.2022 Hey Grow A Pair dads!! We want to invite you to this event this week in our local Camp Hill area in support of White Ribbon Australia. We’d love to see you there, get your on and raise some money for a great cause! #whiteribbonday

18.01.2022 At Grow A Pair, we want mates to not be scared or intimidated to talk about their mental health with each other. In the same way, as Grow A Pair, we are not the only ones that are being proactive in wanting to see a different statistic when people talk about mental health. So over the coming weeks, we want to highlight some of the champions that are out there that are starting the conversation and bringing some light into our communities. Were doing this because we believe t...hat collectively, we can achieve something greater for mental health by supporting other causes and not just being inwardly focussed on what were doing. If you havent heard of TradeMutt, you mightve seen theyre pretty wild work shirts! As they say - theyre pretty hard to miss! Beyond that, their TIACS (This Is A Conversation Starter) Foundation puts action to the awareness by providing access to free psychological help to those that need it. We want to encourage the community of Grow A Pair to check out trademutt.com, grab a shirt and start a conversation. #conversationstarter #collectivecommunity See more

18.01.2022 Grow A Pair is excited to let you know that well be at the Walk For Awareness event in October!! So click on the link now to sign up! Wed love to see you there, come for the walk and support mental health awareness! Cant wait to see you there and catch up on the day!

18.01.2022 Whos ready for Monday?? Monday may not be the favourite day of the week, but lets grow a pair and get ready for it! You get to decide how on how you want to see this week turn out, so try visualising that its going to be awesome! Give us a if youre pumped for this week!

17.01.2022 Whos 1 mate that you need to check in with today? Weve been checking in with our friends at Positive T Shirts this week and what stuck with me is regular conversation. Mental health should be a regular check-in conversation, and these conversations arent ever a burden to the person youre having the conversation with! If youre like me, these conversations make my day, that I can be there for a mate and talk out loud #checkintuesday

16.01.2022 Love this! how we view and perceive our mental health is so important, because it also is then how we treat it in our life. We all have it, so how are you keeping it healthy? #mentalhealth #talkitout #growapair

15.01.2022 Cop a cheeky peek of these cherries New website is nearly ready to go so get your orders ready for Christmas and help us change the culture of men’s mental health!!

15.01.2022 Its the weekend!!! What do you love to do to unwind on the weekend? Gotta love the driving range to get your Happy Gilmore on and obviously rock your Grow A Pair socks #golfballwackerguy #weekend #FindYourUnwind @ Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

14.01.2022 2020: The year of perspective This year has brought a lot of of people a hard dose of reality in that ‘every day’ things that we take for granted can change dramatically in an instant. The things that we thought were secure, suddenly weren’t as secure as we thought. Our perspective changed. And honestly, I think it gave society a real good look at itself to help us to see what’s really important. It helped us to see cracks that we may not have known really existed. And it... made us rely on each other again. Let’s never lose that again! Keep changing your perspective to see a change for better. As men, we need a change in our culture. We need to talk and address some statistics: the rate of suicide; domestic violence; substance abuse. We can’t deny them, we need to change what it means to ‘grow a pair’ so that we’d have the cherries to talk about it #whiteribbonday

14.01.2022 Youve seen our pair, now show us yours? We want some inspiration for more designs so we want to see your favourite pair of socks!! growapair.net.au And you can get another favourite pair, that has a purpose - Grow A Pair socks are all about starting a conversation for men to talk about their mental health. And with the current situation with isolation and separation, we need it more than ever! #socksforacause

13.01.2022 So worth the watch!! I think that a lot of people would be able to look back and reflect on themselves in a similar way, as well to have someone that we can talk with about our mental health, no matter what age you are #yourmentalhealth #growapairau #mensmentalhealth

13.01.2022 What’s our reason for Grow A Pair? Mental health doesn’t discriminate. Poor mental health can affect wealthy, fit, academic, artistic, religious, ‘normal’ people. We want to change culture but we need you to Grow A Pair too!! Every pair of socks that we personally pack, we think about the conversations that could be started from it, in a positive way to normalize men to talk about their mental health with their mates. ... Tell us what’s your reason to Grow A Pair?? By purchasing from Grow A Pair, you enable us to donate to mental health organisations in Australia. Let’s put our best foot forward and change culture for men to be comfortable with their mental health. Link in bio or at www.growapair.net.au

12.01.2022 What’s your motivations?? We so often see a strive for ‘more’ in life. But what is the ‘more’ that you’re striving for?? And is it worth it in the long run? Is it creating more positivity? Is it more time? Is it doing something beyond helping yourself? Or is the ‘more’ you’re chasing creating unhealthy stress, lack of sleep and causing negativity?? ... You can choose your motivations in life and what result that brings. #mentalhealthmatters #fridaymotivation

12.01.2022 Remember: every time life might be like a storm, theres always still a sun shining behind it. Try to adjust your perspective of storms as opportunities for growth, rather than painful times and always reach out to a mate. Youre not burdening them with your problems, youre releasing your mind of it. Grow a pair and talk - its not as hard as it seems #talkitout #thursdaythoughts

12.01.2022 Grab a hold of your cherries!! We have a new website coming really soon! I promise!! And to add to our first series cherry socks, we’re also going to have the shirts and hats available. So get your cherries ready, because it’s time for a change of our culture. Guys, it’s time to Grow A Pair and talk about your mental health ... #mentalhealthmatters

12.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day Today is a reminder of the important role that fathers play in our life. Its humbling effect that it has, that makes you realise the challenges that help us to grow as parents and how you would do anything for your kids. I keep getting amazed by how much I now know of what my father has done, and still does for me. Happy Fathers Day! I cant imagine what I would do without you. Thanks for the #fathersday #rolemodel

11.01.2022 When was the last time that you took a break and checked in on yourself?? One day, we wake up and look in the mirror and think, who are you? Nice beard though! We seem to be going non-stop; our work load is growing, and then were trying to give importance and time to our family and mates that we forget to check in on ourselves. There are many things that we can do to help sustain ourselves through all of this, so were going to share some SUPER practical to things ...that we can all do! Tip #1 to sustaining an ever-increasing workload!! Schedule in your lunch break and take time to enjoy any downtime throughout the day to keep in touch with your work colleagues. Who knows, you could be going through similar situations?? #checkyourself #nicebeard #timetotalk . . . Want us to talk about a mental health related topic? Comment or message us! See more

11.01.2022 How can I help someone else today? Even small gestures for people can help your own mental health! In these times, we can start to become very easily distanced from everyone but lets take some time to go beyond looking after just ourself. It can be as simple as buying lunch for a work colleague, or take time out of your day to talk to a friend. Find a moment today to make someones day #changeyourworld #makeyourday

10.01.2022 Im not crying!! You are! What a great story and highlighting the importance of having mates to open up to and talk about your mental well-being. Well done Mick Fanning for helping men see that when you have something to talk about, its worth talking! As men, we need to continue to grow a pair, and talk

07.01.2022 Love this from MensLine Australia although we think that you could get dad both? Socks that encourage them to talk about their mental health and gives to mental health organisations in Aus What do you think??

07.01.2022 Hey there Grow A Pair!! We just wanted to share this little gem from Black Dog Institute. In QLD, we may not be back in lockdown again.. but with the current situation with employment, as well the increasing work load of a lot that are still employed we want to make sure that were checking in with you, you can check in with us and were all checking in weekly with a mate! Weekly is important because it brings accountability to each other youre all valued and have importance in someones life and we want to see the best version of you, for them. #checkin

07.01.2022 If you needed an example of how men can express themselves, this letter from Nathan Brown is it! Definitely worth reading the whole thing but theres a few parts that were a perfect example of the change that we want to see with Grow A Pair. "Embrace your journey no matter what it looks like. He (Howard Clarke) taught me about love, love and respect your opportunities, be grateful for the little things and never forget your family and friends because when things get tough, they will be the ones to have your back unconditionally. And lastly, he taught me to be passionate. Dont be afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve when you truly believe in something, be authentic and dont be afraid to show your raw emotions. Be proud of who you are." #realmentalk

07.01.2022 Grab Monday by the cherries All too often, we look at our life through a lens of success. What if we strived for value? People would know their worth and their importance. Where their life wouldnt be rooted in becoming insta-famous, or belittle others. So lets grow a pair, grab today by the cherries and tag a mate to show how much we value them! #value

06.01.2022 Who’s got your pair?? We’ve become a very DIY culture, where a common saying has become ‘sounds like it’s your problem...’ what’s happened to mateship in a day-to-day basis. Why is it only in natural disasters that we see it; the floods, the fires.. it’s time to change culture. It’s time to have your mates back again and ask them if they’re ACTUALLY going alright. We like to put on a strong facade, but that doesn’t hide what’s inside forever. It’s time to grow a pair and #talkitout

05.01.2022 We don't do these kind of posts too often, but we want to share this one with you all. For all those dads or soon to be dads, we can all get something out of reading this article! I think we're only just starting to adjust the 'stereotype' dad. This not only made me think about the type of father that I want to be, but also the dad that will help see my kids thrive!! Let us know you thoughts in comments or DM

04.01.2022 Hey dads! we want to talk Fathers Day in a new way. The discussion is normally talking about fathers or father figures. But I want to hear about YOU! I want to hear your advise as dads to other new dads - the expectations, the unknowns, the different stages. What would you tell a new dad to encourage them in fatherhood is it to always make more time for family? Is it to talk more about the mental load of having a child? What would you tell your past dad-self?

04.01.2022 We love seeing these kind of photos This is the Grow A Pair community spreading the word for men to be open to talk to each other and go toe-to-toe with their mental health. So show us your pics of your Grow A Pair socks and continue the conversation for mens mental health #create #conversation . . .... Thanks @samjvidacak for the photos. See more

02.01.2022 And now that we have your attention... Whos really good at having unrealistic expectations? Pretty much any day that Im disappointed with what I achieved or felt like I havent achieved anything, theyre usually the days that I think that Im going to solve every problem in one day Thats unsustainable. Its a good thing to write out what you need to do, but its not ALL going to happen instantly or in one day. Create timeframes for some things, then work out what you need to do to get there. You might say, I dont have time to do that! but if you create the time, you'll have a higher chance of being successful in achieving the goals that you set out to achieve! This goes for work, family, jobs around the house (yeah, I said it). So grow a pair, plan out your day to make it more sustainable.

02.01.2022 What is your happiness? Happiness isn’t only joy - happiness is much more than that! Happiness is in the full range of emotions. Happiness can be in fulfillment, a feeling of contentment or as a general assessment of life. Throughout life, we experience ranges of emotions - positives and negatives. So we want to know what you find helps you to find the enjoyment/fulfillment in your life?... #internationaldayofhappiness

02.01.2022 It’s cherry season!! So with this season, we thought that a refresh to the website was due as well. And with Christmas coming up soon, grab a pair of cherry socks and start a conversation to change the culture of men’s mental health #cherryseason #tistheseason... Music credit: @mtnsmusic

01.01.2022 We love seeing posts like this from our community of blokes and dads If you cant figure out what to get your dad for Fathers Day, get him a pair of socks that go towards creating better mental health for men!! and keep showing us your Grow A Pair socks!!
