The Thin Space

Well, hey there, Cadre. How are we doing this morning? How are you doing? It is 8am and this is the time of the year when live streams get lighter and lighter because the days are getting longer and longer. So no more sitting at the dark at 8am but got some nice overcast, almost kind of cloudy rainy skies here in Minnesota. VRF 1260. How are you doing this morning? It's nice to see you, my friend. And I say friend, Kelly. Kelly, nice to see you too. I look at everybody as a friend here in the Cadre sphere and not like in a cheesy kind of like fake way, but in a wow, you are really doing something good for me right now.

Speak wonder. You being here alongside me is changing my state, is changing my mood, is changing my perspective. So first of all, thank you for spending time with me and thank you for letting me spend time with you. Second of all, I hope that you're doing great. And if you're not doing great, beasa bits. If you're not doing great, know that that's okay too. Everybody, we have great moments and great things happen in great moments. You want to know what? Some pretty great things inela happen also in not great moments.

We are capable no matter how we are doing. That's kind of a little enoughness talk. That's what I talk about on Saturdays. But we always exist in a state of being able to have a perspective. Being able to make choices, to work or to rest, ability to enter into or to remove ourselves from all of these things are really powerful actions that sometimes we need a reminder that we have the capacity. So right here is your reminder. You have the capacity to do. To do something. Yeah. And Neil, I even love like you're another one of those people who's very precise here and the words sometimes is what validates what you just said.

This is not the and everything's okay and everything's going to be okay, but it's the we have tools built into who we are as a species to help us navigate, to help us do the puzzle, to help us fight, to help us really, really engage. So on Sundays, we talk about re energizing, recharging, rebuilding, recalibrating this mechanism of a body that we have. It's self care day on Sundays here in the Cadre sphere. C. and I always talk about the idea of thin space. That space that exists in between everything that has happened and everything that will happen.

And in that space, in between that thin space, there is power. Hey Melanie, nice to see you, my friend. Oh, what a crew this morning, y'all. I hope you have something that makes you feel cared for right now. Maybe it's a blanket, maybe it's an article of clothing that makes you feel warm or kind of nuzzled in. Maybe you have a beverage, a coffee or. Here's what I have in my car. I have a banana. I got my water bottle. I got a tropical flavored energy drink, more so for the tropicalness, because there's something about drinking kind of fruity tropical flavors when it's not super warm outside that makes me go, ha.

It's like I'm sitting on an island somewhere and it's still that misty cold, oceany morning air. So that's what I got. What do you got with you? Okay, here's the idea. Today, so last night. So I live with a non situational panic disorder. Recalibration of an existence I always have. Panic is something I live with. It's my. It's my passenger on my shoulder at all times. And last night it wanted to play. So I was thinking about all the things that either could or could never go wrong, but in my brain they can.

Morning, Shannon. So all night long I was in that space of, oh, gosh, I'm having the Sunday scaries literally in the early, early hours of Sunday morning. And Monday is still far, far away. But this week is. Is another big week, right? Every week has stuff. And all that stuff that is coming up was existing in my now. Now again, I'll say it until you have a headache. Spending time in the past is powerful and necessary. Spending time planning the future, it's powerful, it's necessary, but not at the expense of never spending time in the moment that we are in.

So here's the tip for the day. And this is what I did last night. And it didn't make everything go away. It didn't fix everything in a snap, but it did remind me that I am on my own side, that I am fighting for me. So I have three dogs, Hamilton, Jefferson and Willow. And every time that my mind went into the panic sphere and the panic spiral, I just grabbed one of my dogs, woke them up. I'm sure they loved that. Actually, they kind of did. Anytime they can spend time with, with me or my partner or each other, it's their happy place.

And I gave them big squeezes and I gave them big pets. Whenever you move into that space, if you get stuck in the future or if you ever get stuck in the past, they take time to hold onto something that is in the present, like literally, tactically. Hold on to. So as I invited you to think about this morning, I hope that you have a blanket or a piece of clothing that makes you feel warm or wrapped or cared for. I hope you have a beverage. I hope you have a view that you can look at that makes you go, wow, hold on to those things whenever you get stuck in the future or the past.

And it'll help you get into that thin space, that space in between. So as we wrap up today, I want to let you know we have two Cadre TODAY interviews coming up this week. First of all, the one and only Ms. Shannon Paul, who you may go ahead and tune into Ms. Shannon Paul's comedy through the chaos live stream. During the week, we are going to be chatting at 7:30am Central Standard Time on a Wednesday and then on Thursday, the one and only Jay Petruno, dietitian and personal trainer coming to us from Bastin.

We are going to be chatting happy hour time on Thursday, 5pm Central Standard Time, 6pm Eastern Standard Time. Two interviews this week and two, two amazing ones. They're all amazing. So settle on in for a great week ahead right here in the Cadre sphere and enjoy the Sunday lineup, y'all. I will see you tomorrow morning, 7:30am per usual. Have a good one. Bye.
