Metric Workout #1
(Every man will need 1 CMU)
Set a timer for 30 minutes.
Complete as many cumulative reps as you can in that time.
The following list of exercises are performed in sets of 25 reps. After completing a set of 25 reps, put down your CMU, run 25 yards, do 2 burpees, return to your CMU, and continue.
Here are the exercises:
– 150 curls
– 125 heavy squats
– 100 OHP
– 75 CMU swings
– 50 Thrusters
– 25 Blockees
When you finish the Blockees, start back at the top with curls.
It will look like this:
25 curls → 25 yard run → 2 burpees → 25 yard run → 25 curls…repeat until 150 curls are finished, then switch to squats…etc.
Once through the entire circuit is 525 reps (burpees do not count toward total).
How many cumulative reps can you complete?
Enter your Total Rep Count on the form.
This workout will be used to set your baseline score.  We’ll repeat it in July and you can see how your King is accelerating!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The warrior ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: commitment, honor, respect, prepared, faithful, fighter, hungry, humble, lover, teachable, firestarter, truthful, and generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse.

Faithful : the 5th pillar
The verse for this pillar is Matthew 25:23

“The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’”
Matthew 25:23 NLT

Be Full of Faith! Keep giving and you will never be without!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Let’s talk about the commandments.  Actually, not the 10 from the Old Testament.  John 14:15 reads, “if you love me, keep my commandments.”  Jesus came not to abolish the law of the Old Testament, but to fulfill and since I profess to love Jesus, I’d like to know what are His commandments.  Thought about an entire journey through the Bible to discover them, but realized someone has to have thought of this too…so I googled it.  And sure enough there are 38 (39) commandments in the New Testament from Jesus.  Let’s go over all of them now…j/k.  We discussed a few, The Greatest Commandment, The Golden Rule, Mark 11:25-26 Forgive, John 3:7 Be Born Again, and John 15:4 I am the Vine.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Heb 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Friday Erector talked about Fellowship, so I thought I’d continue the discussion on the 3rd F.  This passage could easily be taken out of context, but let’s look closer.  We have two areas of action (AFTER coming to him) – believing in God and earnestly seeking him.  What does that look like?  Earnest is more than a flippant prayer before a meal or dragging yourself out of bed to attend church in a robotic manner.  There is a fulfilling life to one who EARNESTLY seeks God, spending time with him, learning how to please Him through diligently studying and committing His Word to your heart.  Don’t just believe he exists (even demons do that), but resolve today to EARNESTLY seek him.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

A S.M.A.R.T. goal is one that is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound.

Specific (simple, sensible, significant) Be simple, clear and specific in what it is you want to accomplish. This should answer the ‘W’ questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and Which. What specifically do you want to accomplish? When do you want to accomplish this by? Why does this need to happen?

Measurable (meaningful, motivating) How will you measure the progress of your goals? Set some short and long-term goals. This helps to identify tangible progress and allows you the space to adjust along the way.

Achievable (agreed, attainable) The goal should be challenging, but it should not be something that is unattainable. You should feel motivated and inspired, not depleted and discouraged by your goal. So be realistic and plan accordingly.

Relevant (reasonable, realistic, resourced, results-based) The goal should be relevant to you and those that are involved. And it should be able to move things forward in a positive way. Answer these questions about the goal:

  • Is it worthwhile? Is it applicable? Am I the right person?
  • Is now the right time? Does this line up with the Word of God?

Time-bound “A goal is a dream with a deadline” ~Napoleon Hill

Timelines will help you to stay on task. And deadlines will help to create a sense of urgency. A little tension produces a reachable outcome. But be realistic when setting the goal. Make sure the goal can actually be achieved in the timeframe that has been set, and consider all of the other components of S.MA.R.T.

What about something like prayer?  Often, this is an area where we set ourselves up for failure by creating unattainable goals like, “Pray for an hour every day.”

Now, is this goal specific? Yes. Is it measurable? Yes. What about attainable? This is where we’re running into problems. Depending on your lifestyle, it might be hard to work in an hour of prayer into your schedule. If you don’t have a regular habit established of praying every day, going from 0-60 minutes might not allow you to develop a consistent habit, especially if your days already feel full!

For someone who was not praying regularly, transforming this goal to be SMART would look like creating a goal similar to, “For the next 2 weeks, pray for 10 minutes every morning.”

If you write down your goal, you are 42% more likely to achieve it!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We typically use this time between Christmas and New Year’s as a time of reflection.
As we wrap up 2022, did you accomplish what you set out to do?
Why or why not? Does it even matter, now that you’re looking back at it, or have priorities shifted?

21 Tips for a Positive New Year
Updated for 2023
1. Stay Positive. You can listen to the cynics and doubters and believe that success is impossible or you can trust that with faith and an optimistic attitude all things are possible.
2. Take a daily “Thank You Walk.” You can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time. Feel blessed and you won’t be stressed.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and less foods manufactured in plants.
4. Talk to yourself instead of listen to yourself. Instead of listening to your complaints, fears and doubts, talk to yourself with words of truth and encouragement.
5. Post a sign that says “No Energy Vampires Allowed.” Gandhi said, “I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet,” and neither should you! Watch This.
6. Be a Positive Team Member. Being positive doesn’t just make you better, it makes everyone around you better.
7. Don’t chase success. Decide to make a difference and success will find you. [ Tweet This ]
8. Get more sleep. You can’t replace sleep with a double latte.
9. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control.
10. Look for opportunities to Love, Serve and Care. You don’t have to be great to serve but you have to serve to be great.
11. Live your purpose. Remember why you do what you do. We don’t get burned out because of what we do. We get burned out because we forget why we do it.
12. Remember, there’s no such thing as an overnight success. Love the process and you’ll love what the process produces.
13. Trust that everything happens for a reason and expect good things to come out of challenging experiences.
14. Implement the No Complaining Rule. If you are complaining, you’re not leading. Download a free No Complaining Kit here.
15. Read more books than you did in 2022. I happen to know of a few good ones. : )
16. Don’t seek happiness. Instead live with love, passion and purpose and happiness will find you.
21 Tips for 2023
17. Focus on “Get to” vs “Have to.” Each day focus on what you get to do, not what you have to do. Life is a gift not an obligation.
18. The next time you “fail” remember that it’s not meant to define you. It’s meant to refine you.
19. Smile and laugh more. They are natural anti-depressants.
20. Make time for relationships. We are better together and the more we connect with great friends the more enjoyable life becomes.
21. Enjoy the ride. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy it.

“He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”
