Monday Motivation: October Challenge.

Good morning. Happy Monday. Happy Monday, Cadre family. It's Luke here. Hope everybody had a wonderful weekend. Hopefully you did something for you. Hopefully you spent time with those you love. Hopefully you had an opportunity to reset, recover, recalibrate. Coming into the Monday, feeling strong, feeling good, energized. All the things that matter, right? I did the same. Morning, everybody. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I'm starting to see all the names pop into the live. This makes me so happy.

This is what it's all about. This is why I do. This is the community aspect of Cadre. Oh, my gosh. I love it so much. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So, guys, got a. I've got a little challenge for October for y'all. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, my gosh. I love this so much. Seeing all the names, it makes me happy. Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. Able, like I said, relax, recalibrate, rejuvenate, get yourself together, have one great life experience. That's what it's all about.

Anyhow, good morning. Good morning. Getting kids lunches ready. Anila. Oh, my gosh. Just did that a little bit ago, but October challenge. October challenge. Ready for this. So we have some, some Cadre swag here, sweatshirts, hats, t shirts, all the things. And I have a challenge for you all, and the challenge does not have to be the same as mine. And I'm gonna be sharing the information, how to register and all the things. We got eight days here, but I want you to think about this for the next eight days until October.

So what I'm going to commit to for my challenge for October is every day of the month is the amount of miles I'm going to run. So October 1, I'm going to do 1 mile. October 2, I'm going to do 2. October 15, I'll do 15. October 3030. By no means am I saying this is your challenge. This is the one I'm committing to. You might want to do half that, right? You walk it. Walk it. You might want to read for 30 minutes a day. You might want to walk for 30 minutes a day. You may want to do something. But my challenge is 30 consecutive days.

Jungfujunkie. I have great news. Lick. My wife will officially be retired. No way. Oh, my gosh. That's amazing. Congratulations. That is fantastic news. I'm so happy to hear that. For you and your family. That is awesome. So when we lean in, thank you. But when we lean into October, what we're looking for is consistency of the entire month term. Right. And so when you build that consistency, it starts breeding great habits. It also makes things hard. Day seven, you're gonna be like, why am I doing this?

Day 20. But those are the things that build resilience. It really allows you to break through this, like, maybe spot you've never been in before in your life, or maybe break through some of the hard and whatnot. And when you can keep doing those hard things over and over and over again, I'm telling you, the rest of your life, some of those small things that you're faced with and you deal with just kind of like, fly by the wayside a little bit. And that's good. And that's really good. So, again, I just wanna stress this.

I am not asking anybody else on here to run the exact day for the duration of the month. I'm not. I'm saying, whatever your thing is, you have eight days to prepare for a consistent action each day of the month. Like I said, it could be walking 3 miles, it could be reading 30 minutes a day, it could be biking for a half hour, whatever it is. But you're gonna commit to either the same or similar practice every day for the duration of the month. Okay? You guys all got that? So what I'm gonna do then?

I love this idea. I think I'm gonna take in the challenge of a daily. Ooh. Oh, my gosh, I love that so much. In fact, I might steal that one from you for. For myself with my. My miles. So for every mile I run, I might do a gratitude mile. Oh, my gosh. I love that. I think that's a phenomenal idea. Oh, my gosh. That's. That's. That's really special. Now you got. You got my mind spinning. That's awesome. Um, so, at any rate, I want you to think about what you can commit to through the duration of October, every day.

And now, always remember, I just did this one. You know, setbacks are amazing. So if we miss a day, if we. If we. If we fall for a minute, if we do any of those things, I just want to let you know, let's get back on the wagon and let's commit. Okay? Great idea. I'll add walking up hills to my morning. Oh, junk food junkie's not. Junk food junkie is not joking around this morning. That's awesome. I love it. So again, that is my commitment. That is what I'm putting my flag in the ground, is I will run the day, every single day through the duration of October with miles.

And I'm adding the gratitude list from Anila. I love, love, love that idea so much. It's beautiful. So with that, I want you to start thinking. I will be sending something in the community feed of how to register for your October challenge. And when you register for your October challenge, just by signing up, literally, just by signing up for the challenge, I'm going to send you a hat. Just by signing up and then completion start, all of it. We'll have sweatshirts, t shirts, all the things, and we'll get those out to you all throughout the duration of October as you can complete and finish up.

So, Darrell Glaze. That's great, Luke. Oh, I love it. Darrell, man, I just want to tell you, I watched your live yesterday. You have this special way to be able to resonate all of life into your story. So I just want to let you know, thank you for always sharing means so much to me and the rest of the community, that is for sure. And always remember, we have our live streams, we have our pre recorded content, and we have people that are watching our lives post. So I just want to let you all know that if you missed a live, you can always go back right into the app and watch the pre recorded version of it so they're there for you.

All right, you guys have a great week. Get your thinking cap on and we'll prepare for our October challenge where we're going to do something consistently for the duration of the month. And we're going to build this habit and practice into our everyday life, into our, I always call it rules, routines, and rituals of life. Right? What are my rules, routines, and rituals? What do I do? Why do I do them? How do I do them? So this one's going to be a month that I'll remember and I'll be remembering for a while.

October as one of those months that I ran every single day and I did the gratitude list, which I can't wait to do, to be frank. So you guys have a wonderful week. Think about October. I'll have everything prepared, ready to go. Plus, Luke, there's a lot of great content in the community. Oh, yeah. I love that. You're right on the money. You know, if you look back two years ago on our community feed till today, there was like some, like 30 some posts this last week, which is really, really great.

You know, just continue to see the community correspond, interact, participate with one another as we continue to build and share. So you can show up as anonymous as you want or as non anonymous. I don't know what other word you'd say for that one, but thanks you all for being here. Like I said, it's a great Monday, it's a great start to your week, and we're going to lean into an amazing October together. Okay? So be looking out for some details as we'll have some swag ready to go for the October challenge.

Take care, y'all. Bye bye, now.
