Bear Grylls wants to help men like me – but can his wellness plan lift my winter blues?

Why is TV’s most famous outdoorsman trying to get men like Josh Burt to sit in their sheds and manifest a successful day? Blame it on the new trend of action heroes moving into the wellness space...

Mettle guru: inner peace could be just one wellness app away – no more strange health spas... (Josh Burt )

Here’s something I’d never done last year. I’d never sat in an empty shed repeating life-affirming sentences out loud and it wasn’t something I ever thought I’d do this year either. Yet here I am, cross-legged on the floor in my garden office telling the universe: “I am capable of this success, today is going to be a great day”. (I know, right...?)

But, somehow, I am managing to completely mean it. I’m even grinning like a Cheshire cat throughout – not because I’m being arch in any way but because saying it is making me feel really, genuinely happy. And I have one man to thank for that. Bear Grylls. 

But what on earth could TV’s most famous outdoorsman have to do with me manifesting a successful day from my shed? Blame it on the new trend of action heroes moving into the wellness space.
