The Thin Space

Hey there Cadre. How are you? Happy, happy Sunday. Coming to you from Chile, St. Michael, Minnesota, just outside of the Twin Cities. Happy self care Sunday, Happy December, happy last month of the year. Happy all the things. And if you're like, no, none of those things are happy. Hey there L. Lynch. How are you my friend? Whether you're doing good and feeling great, which is awesome, whether you're not doing good and not feeling great, guess what? Even though it may not feel awesome, you are still absolutely 100% in the right place.

Right, Jules? C. i am here seven days a week to be that. To be that familiar voice and face, to say, hey, if you're here for the first time or if you're here for the thousandth, you are always in the right place. If you show up here with purpose in the moment that you are jumping into the Cadre sphere in. Like I mentioned on Sundays, our live streams are all focused on self care, the ability, the challenge, the necessity, the rationale for being good to yourself. So then you can do other things, right?

What is the prerequisite to doing. It's having something that you can do with. So I often say this regression is not okay. And then I go dot dot dot it's absolutely fantastic. And then of course there's paragraphs after me explaining why I think that regression is an awesome thing to experience. I'll give you the Eclipse version right now. Progression, yeah, is pretty great. I'll go and make the point right now. That regression also kind of pretty great. Stagnance. Stagnance is scary. Why? Because every single thing that we do requires time and pressure and those weird pubescent stages that move us through learning and opportunity and growth and new capacity and new awareness.

I think so often we go, I need to always be progressing. Or if I'm not progressing, I need to stop until I'm ready to progress again. And what ends up happening is when we stop, we lose out on a lot of stuff. When we attempt to refrain from regression, we stop and lower our ceiling. I'll tell you on Sundays, if you've tuned in before, you always see I'm sitting in my Mazda because I have a music gig on Sunday mornings. So I always have to drive, stop, do my live stream and then finish the drive.

But as I said, it's December. It's the last month of the year. It's like the weather is very different than it was recently. Like it's now settled in probably everywhere. You can sense that change seasonally, culturally, no matter where you are. There's what, 34 major holidays over the next couple of weeks. So all of that stuff is happening, which it led me to this drive. As I'm driving up here, I was like, huh. I'm gonna think back about this year. I tell you, because of a lot of personal health stuff going on in my life, I've had.

Even though I attempted to allow regression to happen, there was a lot of natural stagnance like I couldn't do. I couldn't. I couldn't. I couldn't move down the pathway in either a good or a bad way. I was just kind of stuck. The world said, you're going to be stuck right now. And it's a great reminder. I look at this past year and I feel like it really wasn't the best year based on. I had a lot of stagnant moments. And stagnant moments, I think are less sticky than the progression and the regression.

So my invitation for you today, if you feel like regression is the natural next page in your story. Regress, whatever that means. Get the answer wrong, miss the workout, eat the food that the world has told you is bad for reasons of their own accord. Do the thing that in your brain, you'll go, ah, that's not what I wanted to do. And then consider. But on the other side of that, there is this progression through regression, through the up, the down, the cooking. Because when we attempt to refrain from always doing the thing that we're not supposed to do, sooner or later we get really exhausted, tired, and what happens?

Whoosh. And then it's no longer the journey. So a little thoughts, a little thought for you today from the Mazda. Later on this morning, you're going to see our friends like Gene this evening you'll see. You'll see Seth right after the other side of the noon hour. And then you'll see Tiffany and Jason wrapping up the evening. But I'll be back tomorrow morning, 7:30aM Central Standard Time to kick off another great week. Y'all have a good one.
