Monday Motivation Rule #2 Misogi

Happy Monday, Cadre crew. Happy Monday, Cadre crew. Hope everybody had a great weekend. We are back live here. We are Monday. Starting December, December 4. We're going to have a wonderful week here. It's going to be fantastic. I wanted to talk today about another rule that I think really is really, really important when. When you. It comes down to getting your mind right, getting prepared for what's to come in the following year, which is the power of a musougi. The power of a musougi is an old japanese ritual where it's something that's on your calendar that's so difficult, something that's on your calendar that's so difficult that ultimately you gotta do a little something every single day to achieve or reach that goal.

6. And it was one of the most magical experiences of my entire life. But, you know, we always talk about Mussogis and our family, our kids. Cameron Drew, Ada, my wife and I, we always talk about, you know, the power of a musogi and working together with Musogis, and now you had 69, 10, 14 year olds talking about it, which becomes very, very impactful, not only in their life, but it just pushes them into goal setting just to. Just to push their mind, put their spirit, push their mettle, all the things.

So what's going to be my musogi next year? I don't know yet. I don't. I have still 20 some odd days to figure it out, but I always want to do a couple things with it. Number one, is it really about a 50 50 chance that I will actually complete it? Is it that hard? Is it. Is it a shoe in Musougi where I'm gonna just. I'm gonna go and do it and I'll achieve it, and that's good. Or is it a 50 50 of something where it's so difficult, so complicated that I may or may not achieve the goal? Number two, is there a big why behind it?

Do I have a big why? Like, is this meaningful to me? Is it gonna impact other individuals lives? Like, is there a why behind it? So I always check box one, checkbox two. Last but not least, checkbox three. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, does it connect and align with my life and what I want to try to achieve? And if the answer is yes, yes, yes, and the 50 50 is yes, and all those other things are yes, yes, yes, then it seems to me like I got another good misogyny. So, for example, one misogy that I did in 2022 was it's called the four by four by 48 challenge.

So you run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 straight hours for a total accumulation of 48 miles. One thing right now to me that I think is really important is, so I'm just talking this through, is a podcast, right? So I'll give you an example. Like right now, I think podcasting, there's tons and tons of podcasts, and I'm a top 5% podcast. Well, that means you have like, 1000 total listeners. But regardless, is a podcast something that I wanna develop in 2024? Is that a musogi for me, that I work a little bit harder, work towards it every single day towards this goal, to try to achieve that goal, or is running from Duluth to Minnesota.

Duluth is kind of my old stomping grounds to Minneapolis or to home. 140 some odd miles. Is that a good masochi? I don't know. I'm just playing these things out in my head. What does this give me? What does this give me? Why the power of a musogi? There's two things, consistency and discipline. If you want to be good at anything in this world, you need to be disciplined with it. And if you want to be really good at something, you need to be consistent. So providing that consistency and discipline all in one has allowed me to, I would say, really accelerate my life.

So you hear this term musogi, and when you hear this term asogi a lot now, you'll actually know what it means. It's something that's on your calendar one time a year. It could be a day, could be a week, could be a couple days, whatever that looks like. And it's a really, really big challenge that you have that ultimately is going to test your metal and it's going to be really good. Why does it test your metal at that one event? It also tests your metal the entire year outside of that. So, for example, testing your metal.

A couple individuals that I met at the wellness expo for Cadre, we cut a big ice hole. So we have about four inches of ice right now. And we jumped in the lake yesterday and my feet were absolutely frozen. And once I got back into the van, I mean, my whole body, life, mind, spirit, everything was just on cloud nine, and it's still on cloud nine. And here I am some almost 24 hours later. So find people that. I mean, my. Sorry, I just need to add to this story. Find people that really, like, inspire you to want to be better and be around other individuals, not just people that take 30, 45, 50 minutes of a phone call and b**** all day.

So don't be a part of that. Whatever you do, just get out of that as fast as you possibly can. Get into a place where you surround yourself with people like that that make you better. Okay, JC, always good to see you on here. Risa. It's the best thing in the world to always hear from you. Good morning to you. So I just want to throw this one out there at you guys that it's really, really important that you start throwing stuff on your calendar for next year. We're wrapping up here through the duration of the year.

Musogi Monday. Let's go. That's exactly right. Musogi is right. I love it, Heidi. So maybe, Heidi, maybe you want to write down that musogi. I think somebody out there maybe even wants to become a nurse practitioner. Correct me if I'm wrong. So maybe that will be a part of your story and your journey and your musogi. Musogi doesn't have to be something. Endurance. It could be whatever it is that. But it just tests your mettle throughout the course of the year. And then when you accomplish or don't accomplish that goal, you'll still feel so proud that you've accomplished so much through the duration of the year.

So it's really just building yourself up, building consistency, discipline. Consistency, consistency, consistency which is always going to win in anything you do in this life. 1 second. So thanks for participating in rule number two. We already talked about rule number one, which is purpose and passion. Rule number two, the musogi. I can't tell you how important this has been in my life. I hope it'll be something you'll integrate in years and you never know. Your musouge might just be a life altering moment.

I know there's some individuals on this particular thread right now that are listening live that know exactly what I'm talking about. Life altering moment. Life changing moments. Make the most of them. Do everything you possibly can in this life to really lean into the opportunities to feel challenged, to feel these opportunities to be able to create space in your life that will forever change it by making a really, really hard, impactful decision. And it is real. It is 100% real. This year I gave up alcohol and is life changing.

Oh, I love it. Reset. But here's the thing. So it's not just giving up alcohol. Like you said, you have. You have a why behind it. You have a why behind it. You have every single day. Every single day you started to move the needle, like, I got to do this. And it probably was pretty hard. And then it maybe, you know, kind of cooled down with how hard it was, but it was still the conscious decision every single day to do what you needed to do. What a musougi. I'm super proud. That's amazing, costas.

Well, everybody, I hope you have a remarkable week. We got some really great things here happening at Cadre. Be out on the lookout for the community feed. JC is doing a few things here at Cadre, which is going to be evolving around exercising your influence. I can't wait for you all to participate, which is going to be amazing. We just have some really special things. That's all I'm going to say. Be on the lookout on the community feed. Be on the lookout live for some announcements. We're really excited.

We're going to go into 2024. We're going to knock it out of the park here at Cadre. We're really excited to have you here and participate in consciously consuming the right information when you need, how you need, why you need it, all on your watch and all on your clock. That's why we're here. You take care. Have a wonderful week. We're here for you. So the next time you hear this word musogi, you'll know exactly what it is. Take care, you guys have a wonderful, wonderful day. If you need anything, don't ever hesitate to reach out to us.
