Moleskin:  First off, welcome back Hitchcock!  New job transition, and refreshed from his boat cruise with his sister.  BTW, is your sister single?!?!?  Just kidding, half kidding………..  I started out making sure Coors was ok with movements, and he told would be fine so I stuck with the original plan.  I was a bit worried about the toughness of this workout as usual.  Always looks great but its always up to the Pax.  Thanks for letting me lead again.  The Skull Crushers were at one point probably scary for a few of PAX.  I often forgot that the grip and weight of these former Thai Restaurant blocks weigh.  Probably 30 lbs potentially smashing someone’s face today.  I adjust the number for the second set.  Muck mentioned probably doing it standing up next time but I gently ignored him.  With Bear Crawls downhill, I always like how each Pax makes an individual decision on this as we need to take care of our bodies and of course only “YOU” know your body.  It’s no secret I hate Motivators but I thought, let’s make it fun and break it up.  The only thing I hate is my calves being on the verge of exploding.  With Merkins as a brief distraction and right back to it, we could have done 15:1 or 20:1 with this mixed in.  Going up and down Muck gave me idea for next Tuesday’s Q.  It’s called Burpees brothers so come prepared and pre-stretched!!!!  I decided to do a ton of Merkins because I feel my chest is flabby.  Pecs in particular so CPR 30:2 ratio exercises are coming back soon with some Scorpion Dry dock variations this spring.  Prayers are always for family, friends, and fellow PAX in CO-Shih.  Remember to say your prayers and eat your vitamins brothers-Hulk Hogan

Discipline Equals Freedom – Death/Every Day

Death
-How do you react to death of those around you?
-How do you deal with your impending death?
-Are you afraid of dying? Embrace it? Think about it? Ignore it?
-Who do you “live to honor”?

Action:
Think about your funeral, who would come? What would they say? Who wouldn’t be there? Why? What can you do to start changing that?

Every Day
-In your goal setting, do you take the “Every day” approach?
-How do you handle getting knocked down?
-How do you get back up?

Action: Share with someone you you keep going.

Discipline Equals Freedom: Draw Fire/Good

Draw Fire
-Do you “draw fire” for others? How?
-Is there something in your life where you can apply the “draw fire” principle?
-Has anyone in your past drawn fire for you? How did that impact you in your development?
Action:
Draw fire for someone at home, work, anywhere today.
Good
-Is “good” your current default setting?
-When was the last time this week where you could have applied “good”, but didn’t? What would you change if you could look at it through this lens?
-What is going on in your life right now where you have a “not good” lens and need to shift it to a “good” lens?
Action:
Identify that “not good” that is most bugging you right now and turn it into a “good”.

Discipline Equals Freedom: Focus/Hesitation

Focus:

-Can you focus on long term goals consistently? Why or why not?

-What do/should you do to make long term goals more real?

Action:

Pick a long term goal and make something so it’s in front of you every day.

Hesitation:

-What is something you have hesitated with and lost? Not hesitated and won?

-Are you more prone to move or hesitate?

Action:

When you find yourself thinking about some small decision today, stop and move.

Discipline Equals Freedom: Not Feeling It/Regret

Not Feeling It

  • Do you typically default to powering through despite your feelings or procrastination?
  • What/when do you find yourself procrastinating with the most?

Action:

When you inevitably are not “feeling” something today, do it anyway.

 

Regret

  • How do you currently use regret? Positive or negative?
  • What area of your life have you experienced regret? What have you done about it?

Action:

Pick a regret, big or small, forgive yourself for it, and pick one small action to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
