Monday Motivation: The 13 Rules

Good morning, Cadre family. It is a beautiful, beautiful Monday here. Hope it's beautiful wherever you woke up today. With that being said, a couple things I just want to quick hit on. This week is gratitude week. It is being about grateful and thankful for all things in our life. We have a big special day coming up on Thursday. However you celebrate, however what that looks like for you and your family, have the best week. Remember what this is all about. Just like I said, gratitude and thankfulness for all those individuals so near and dear into your heart.

Be just fortunate and grateful that you have the opportunity to celebrate on Thursday. I also know that this is a big week for a lot of individuals when it comes down to trying to get a lot done on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Give yourself grace. Give yourself grace. If you have to punt it to next week, it happens. So try to make the most of your week. Live it up. Love it up. Thursday. You know, for us, this was like our one holiday that we had for my wife and I and our family, and we always just kept it special for us.

Like, this is ours. Like, we earned this one. I'm just kidding. But my folks are going to be coming into town, so really looking forward to sharing it with them. This is the first time in several years now that we've done something outside of the Wentland clan, so. And what I mean by that is the wetland clan, just my wife and kids. So it'll be a little bit different to evaluate what this is like. But, you know, we're, again, we're very, very excited. Next, for those other individuals that are trying to do what I said earlier is trying to wrap everything in a big week, three days, or skip, hop, skip and a jump till Friday.

A lot of other individuals are taking their time and taking some time for themselves and their family this week as well. So not only give yourself grace, but give themselves grace, too. Do the best you can to lean into being patient and allowing things to roll off your chest this week and punt it to next week. That's okay. That's completely okay. So, one last thing I wanted to share is, going forward, every single Monday for the next 13 weeks, I'm going to be sharing. I wrote down in my journals and everything else about all these different, quote unquote, like, rule.

I always call them rules, routines and rituals that I have. And so I journaled them, I talked about them, I wrote them down. It's things I do. And then I just tried to break it down into, like, my top five to ten. And, well, it couldn't be five to ten, it ended up being 13. So I have 13 total and so on. Third these 13 total, I'm going to share each one of them each week. So next week you get my favorite. Okay. Purpose and passion. Next week is purpose and passion. That's rule number one. So I'm excited to share all about it and talk to you and why I believe it's so impactful and important on your life.

I'm not saying that every one of these rules, you're gonna scream up and down and agree with, and that's okay. And there might be one of them you love and it might be one that you don't know about. But what I hope it does is I hope it impacts your life and makes your life better. So that's my goal and that's my dream that that's happened. So you can embody some of those characteristics or Luke's rules that hopefully make your life better, make your life more confined, condensed, whatever it looks like for you that you can take those rules with.

Last but not least, we got an unbelievable lineup of individuals that are wellness experts here at Cadre. I mean, unbelievable. Check our lineup this week, Monday through Friday, month through Saturday, Monday through Sunday. It is off the charts. I encourage you to jump into as many livestreams as you can because it is pure gold. So I'm a fan, just like you're a fan. I learn just like you learn. So I encourage you to hop in and learn a lot about yourself and learn a lot about maybe some situations or dealings you're dealing with within your life.

Hopefully, it just, like I said, makes your life better. That's what we're here for, mental health and wellness. I believe in my heart of hearts, everybody should have access. And that's what we're doing here at Cadre. We're giving every single person the ability and level lab access to level up on their education, information, knowledge, to be informed about what they're dealing with, how they're dealing with, why they're dealing with it. You don't need to spend three to $500 an hour on a therapist or a coach.

Sometimes it could be a light bulb moment for you to go, that makes sense. That makes sense. Let me give it a whirl. Let me give it a try. And that can be in the spoken tongue, that can be in. In the conversations that we have with one another, that can be in a community post, that can be in somebody's video, that can be in all those different things that we offer. Offer to the world, which is really exciting here at Cadre. Last but not least, smile. Thank somebody. Write down this gratitude list.

I can't wait for your Thursday meals with your families if you celebrate. And I hope everybody goes around the roundtable and talks about what they're thankful and grateful for and really means it, because this is one of those years that I think there's going to be a lot of self reflection. So have a wonderful week, everybody. Take it in. Love each other up. Give yourself grace. And we look forward to having a wonderful week here at Cadre. Take care, everybody. Bye bye, now.
