3 Ways To Go With The Flow

Hey, how you doing? This is Nick, the poet from Cadre. How are you today? I wanted to share a couple of things with you that have helped me to go with the flow. So spring is definitely here. You know, if you're in one of the. The colder climates, as the snow has started to melt, you've seen the water flowing down the hills, the creeks going, you know, we're clearly in a different zone. And if you're like me, you probably have a lot of different things going on. And one of my favorite expressions is to go with the flow.

Now, here's a few ways that you can do that. I believe if you wake up in the morning and get immediately into gratitude and slash or meditation, some way to take you outside of yourself in the morning and be appreciative of the gift of life, that's going to help just tremendously. I oftentimes wake up a little anxious, a little fearful. So I will oftentimes use this meditation app called insight timer. But you could just sit quietly, you could write down five things you're grateful for. You could, you know, exercise anything to kind of shift that mind set a little bit more.

Ethan, thank you so much, and I appreciate that you like that idea. You know, any way that you can get out of yourself in the morning, that is. That is the ticket. I have my peloton right here in between work calls. I had ten minutes, you know, and I got on and did a ten minute tabata ride. Maybe you can take a walk around the block. Tim Ferriss, you know, one of my favorite authors, talks about, yes, Cadre is going to be way better than insight timer. Unquestionably. There's a lot of great meditation apps out there, but you're not going to need to go anywhere else but Cadre.

But anyways, Tim Ferriss will recommend walking around the block. Bouncing a tennis ball up and down is almost better than Prozac. It's like it's getting your mind into that mindfulness, right? And it's also killing two birds with 1 st, because as you bounce that ball up and down, you're gonna feel maybe a little awkward out in public doing that. And that could be a good way to get outside of yourself and start conversations and a way to go with the flow, right? Because our minds and our psyches get trapped in these stories of, this is how I'm supposed to be, this is what I'm supposed to be doing, this is who I am.

You know what? That might all be total bullshit. I know I have these stories in my head about who I am, what I'm doing, where I'm going. But, you know, one thing about going with the flow is if we got to really get open minded and we got to get kind of radical about it, you know, if we're going to make these changes in our lives, I mean, we almost have to sometimes do the exact opposite. If you're scared to go talk to that person, go and talk to that person. If you don't wanna make that phone call, make it first thing in the morning so you don't have to sit all day worrying about it.

Right? And, you know, that brings me to my last point on what you can do to practice this is we are in this together. You need to ask for help. You can't do this on your own. News flash, you can't do it on your own. I can't do it on my own. We need help. So find your community. Find it on Cadre, find it wherever you are. Because no man or woman is an island. As John Don said, when the bell tolls, the bell tolls for thee, because we were in this together. So ask for help and receive that help. Because I know that you're willing to give the help to others.

I know you are. You're probably bending your back over doing somersaults for others. Ask for help. Right? And. Because if we get that flow going of the giving and receiving, that's where the magic is. So that's my message for you today. Let's go. Let's go. Talk to you later. Bye.
