The Thin Space

Hey, good morning, Cadre. How are you? I had to take my gloves off to go ahead and hit start on the live stream, but I put them back on because it's chilly out this morning. Okay. You can't see my breath, but you could if I was on the other side of my Mazda. How you doing? How are you doing on this Sunday morning? If you're coming in live or if you're watching this another time. How are you? I hope you are good. I really do. We all do. By we, I mean everybody in the Cadre sphere, whether it's staff, whether it's the contributors, whether it's the members who come into this space to connect and create and to share resources and remind everybody there are so many ways to being well.

Right, Jules? We hope that you are great. And also if you're not, that's okay too. Speak wonder. Nice to see you. Speak wonder. I heard there's white caps on Lake Erie. I heard it on the news. Stay safe. With all the winter weather coming out there to the east into the central states. Oh, hey, it's Sunday here in the Cadre sphere, what do we talk about on Sundays? We talk about taking care of yourself, which there's a little bit of stubbornness there that sometimes separates us from taking care of ourselves.

But also I think there's a lot of people who are like, cool, I'm all about taking care of myself. How do I do it? Cadre's a really good place to find some tacticals and practicals. So step on in search content and see what you find. But at 8am Central Standard Time on Sundays, what do we end up talking about? We talk about that space in between, that thin space in between everything that has been and everything that will be. This is a pathway to being present. What's the power of being present? Well, it's the one moment that you have capability in to really do something to ensure 100% that you can do that thing.

I can pick up my glasses, I can choose to smile, I can respond to what's going on around me. Just like right now, you're listening to me and going, huh? I'm responding. Listening is a really great way to get into the thin space. Drinking a cup of coffee and tasting the taste and feeling the temperature and mindfully placing your coffee cup back down. These are all ways to enter into that thin space. But once you're there, what do you do? I think it guides itself once you're there. And by it guides itself, I mean you.

The part of your being that's highly intuitive and curious and honest and, and aware. All those things exist in the thin space. So here's my invitation for you today. My invitation is as soon as possible, run around your house or wherever you are and find an artifact of your past. Find something that represents your past. I have a point. Reminder for a CT scan I had last week I just found in sitting in my car door handle that reminds me of the past. And then find an artifact of your future. I have this apple Danish that I just bought from the gas station that I will be eating the second that I'm done here as I hop back into my commute to work.

So, A, find an artifact from the past. B, find an artifact from your future and keep those things near to you today. Let them be reminders that those are the boundaries right where you've been and where you will be. And then exist in between those two things as much as possible today. It's gonna place a little positive friction in your life. A little tap on the shoulder reminder of the things that you're doing today and why you're doing them and how does it feel to be doing them and the thoughts that you're having while you're feeling the feelings of doing the thing that you're doing.

All of this thin space work makes the self care acts that you do in your life all that much more soluble and potent. So place yourself right here because you don't have a choice. Yep, I'm all about an apple Danish on a cold morning. That's just how I am, y'all. Yo, I will see you tomorrow. 7:30am Central Standard Time. As we kick off another week of Cadre Today's Coming up on Tuesday is our next interview and we'll be going to the west coast with the one and only Dan Griffin as we talk about mental health for our male identifying brothers and brothers in this world.

Right? So we're talking about men's mental health and how do we help a segment of our population that isn't very good? Because we've never spent a lot of time empowering men to be curious and courageous with all the intangibles of Life. So at 11:00am Central Standard Time, 9:00am Pacific Standard Time, noon Eastern Standard Time, Dan Griffin and I will be jumping in for our weekly Cadre Today interview. Other than that, have a great day, y'all. We'll talk to you later. Bye. Apple Danish time. What?

What?
