CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This week has been hectic for me.  I’ve had company in town, spent a night in Franklin and had a snow day.  It all sums up to not many workouts and a lot of sleeping in this week, which sucks.   I love getting up early and posting with the PAX so this week really threw me for a loop, but at the same time the lure of a warm bed and sleeping later than usual was very tempting to continue.  How do you pick yourself up when you fail to meet your goals?  I think we need to fight against the “easy life” and push ourselves each day.  Today my challenge to the PAX was to examine themselves and check how they are doing at getting back on the horse after they’ve been off for a while.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lately I have been very focused on some goals. I have been doing a good job of not being distracted, but in the process I think I have lost the ability to catch myself from wandering. To be more clear, I do not catch myself thinking in certain ways. I went for a run recently, and I caught myself just thinking very negatively. I realized that I have not been aware of my thoughts to the point where I can catch myself wandering or thinking negatively. So, I regained control of my mind and thoughts while on the run and finished strong. This I think needs to be transformed to other aspects of my life. I need to catch myself when I am studying, and remind myself why I am doing certain things. I need to catch myself when I am distracted about studying when with my family. I need to try to be better about being present in the moment. I encourage you all to take 5 or 10 minutes during your day to pause and reflect on your thought patterns. If they are maladaptive, try to take control of them. Good work today Gents
MOLESKIN:

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 HIMs this morning, no FNGs
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently got the opportunity to get some constructive feedback that brought about a bit of an internal struggle for me between my ego and my rational mind. My ego wanted to go straight to being defensive or make justification/excuses for what needed improvement, but that is totally the wrong reaction. I had to take a step back mentally and make the decision to flush that ego down the toilet and open up to that feedback. Without that, I can’t improve. We’re all here in this relationship as HIMs and in our daily lives to help one another get better… Be careful not to let your ego get in the way of that process.
MOLESKIN:
PAX moved fast in the cold today. Blew right through the 50/50s. Great to have Tank show up at Coffeeteria!
