What Ted Lasso Taught Me About the Divine Masculine
Embracing Unexpected Sources of Wisdom
Sometimes the very thing you are in resistance to is exactly what you need.
I’ve resisted it for 3 seasons, I don’t like sports and couldn’t imagine that any TV show about a sports team would have anything valuable in it for me. But a few weeks ago I joined the crowd and started watching Ted Lasso. 36 episodes later, I now understand what all the hype is about and why programming like this is so needed right now.
In a world where societal norms often dictate how we should embody masculinity, it can be challenging for individuals to embrace their authentic selves. However, I recently discovered an unexpected source of inspiration that helped me reclaim my divine masculine energy: the popular TV series "Ted Lasso." This heartwarming show not only entertained me but also provided profound insights and lessons on embracing vulnerability, empathy, and authenticity. Watching this show was like witnessing a transformative journey of self-discovery and the impact that Ted Lasso will stick with me for some time. There were 5 components of this show that shifted my understanding of the divine masculine:
Challenging Stereotypes
From the outset, Ted Lasso defies conventional expectations of masculinity. The main character, played brilliantly by Jason Sudeikis, embodies a refreshing combination of kindness, vulnerability, and emotional intelligence. Through his unwavering optimism and compassionate nature, Ted breaks the stereotype of the macho, stoic male figure and instead presents a version of masculinity rooted in authenticity and empathy.
Embracing Vulnerability
One of the most significant lessons I learned from Ted Lasso was the power of vulnerability. Throughout the series, Ted encourages those around him to express their emotions openly and honestly, demonstrating that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness but rather a strength. By embracing vulnerability, I realized that I could forge deeper connections with others and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance.
Cultivating Emotional Intelligence
Ted Lasso's emotional intelligence is undeniable. He actively listens, empathizes, and supports those around him, creating a safe space for open communication. Witnessing Ted's ability to navigate challenging situations with grace and understanding taught me that true strength lies in being attuned to others' emotions and responding with compassion. This shift in perspective enabled me to become more present and considerate in my own interactions.
Fostering Authenticity
Authenticity is a key theme in Ted Lasso, as the characters grapple with their own personal struggles and strive to be true to themselves. From Jamie Tartt's journey of self-discovery to Roy Kent's unapologetic authenticity, each character demonstrates the power of embracing who you truly are. Through the show, I was reminded of the importance of embracing my own uniqueness, quirks, and vulnerabilities, ultimately allowing me to step into my divine masculine energy.
Redefining Success
In a world that often equates masculinity with material success or dominance, Ted Lasso offers a different perspective. The show emphasizes the importance of personal growth, human connection, and finding joy in the journey, rather than fixating solely on external achievements. This shift in mindset encouraged me to redefine my own understanding of success and prioritize values such as kindness, integrity, and emotional well-being.
Carrying the Spirit of "Ted Lasso" Forward
Ted Lasso transcends the boundaries of a simple TV show, reaching deep within our hearts and souls. Through its endearing characters and profound storytelling, it illuminates a path towards embracing our divine masculine energy. As I continue my personal journey of healing my relationship to my internal masculine and the external masculine I will carry with me the spirit of Ted Lasso.
