Monday Motivation: One More Song. One More Song!!

Good morning. Good morning. What's up, Cadre family? It's Luke here. Happy Monday to you and yours. Hopefully everybody's gonna have a wonderful day. Most individuals wake up on this day maybe not feeling their best selves. Maybe they're a little stressed, maybe they're wondering how they're gonna get back to work, do all the things that they need to do today. Me, on the other hand, I am jacked. This is going to be a phenomenal day. We're back on Monday. Here we are. Hope everybody had a wonderful weekend, feeling great, feeling themselves, feeling their opportunity to make a difference in this world.

Good morning. Good morning, Dr. Shareese. Good morning everybody that's joining on. It's always one of my favorite things to do in the world, which is to go live on Monday. So I have a couple things I just want to share today. Number one, so I, as most of you all know, if you've been following me or been listening to Cadre on the weekends, I always try to do one big run between 10 and 13 miles, between 10 and 13 miles either on a Saturday or Sunday. So between a Saturday or Sunday, I'll hop on and I'll do between 10 and 13 miles.

And sometimes like, you just got it. Like you got it, you're feeling it, you're feeling amazing. Life feels great and you just go and everything's working for you. And then other times you go and you start running and you're like, oh man, I just don't have it. My legs feel heavy. You know, just a bunch of things that are, that are just not working for you. Maybe it's your hip flexors are tight, maybe it's your cab feels away, whatever. So I'm like two miles in, you know, on this 10, 13 mile run and I'm just like, you know, I want to be done.

Mentally, I'm not feeling it. So I told myself, I'm like, all right, one more song, one more song, right? So let's start two miles. Just go one more song, right? Songs are usually between like three and a half to five minutes long. I'm like, alright, one more, one more, one more. Before you know it, you got a mile down. Before you know it, you got another mile down. Before you know it, you're listening to xyz, track of Pearl Jam and Rusted Root and all the other things. I just keep trying to like tell Alexa in the background, like, alexa, play blank.

And then she'll like play a song and play a song and play a song, right? So I just keep Going and keep going. So I get mile six, done. Mile seven, done. Mile nine, done. Mile 10, done. Mile 11, done. And before you know it, there it is. I'm like 12 miles done and done. But it started at mile two where I was like, f this, I want to be done. I don't have it today. And I was somehow find a way to do 10 more. So find a way to do 10 more miles even when you're not feeling it. So my question to you, just think about this.

Like I I over indexed what I thought was I was done, like between two and three miles, where I'm just like, mentally not there, all of it. And I5x my output. So just think of, like, what else in life Am I not 5xing? What else in life am I leaving things on the table? What or what part of life can I 5x? What part of life can I take to the next level? And that's my challenge to you, is to say what songs do you need to play in your life for those areas of 5xing? Right? What areas that you can push out and 5x your life right now that otherwise might be at baseline or might be at the ones and twos mark, where you're feeling it a little bit, you're feeling a little mentally drained, a little fatigued, legs are hurting a little bit, and you're going, hmm, what the h*** can I 5x?

What can I change the direction and trajectory of my life? Is it attitude? Is it effort at work? Is a relationship with your spouse or loved one partner? Is your financial freedom? What part can you 5x your life? So that's number one. So I wanted to share that. I felt like sometimes when you go through like a stretch like that mentally, you just feel it and you start to feel it, you feel proud of yourself. You feel those things. Okay, that's number one. Number two, our dear friend JC Lippold, who we all love, is going to be off a few days of Cadre today.

His beautiful boy, Hamilton, his dog, Hamilton of many years. Don't quote me on it. I want to say 12, 13 years old, Hamilton is no longer with us. So Hamilton lost his fight last night and JC is going to be spending some much needed grieving days thinking about Hamilton and, you know, losing his amazing dog. So I want to send JC love and just tell you we're thinking of you. We love you, man. You come back when you're ready, but can't wait to see you in the morning. So JC will be off for a little bit of A stretch here and looking forward to having him come back.

Last but not least is I put out a challenge last week for a step challenge for anybody that was interested in joining along Monday to Sunday. I will have those results posted in the feed so you'll see that in the cadres feed. If anybody beat the steps of my week, just let me know. It's an honor system and I will trust you and just let me know what it is and the swag will be coming your way. So I will post my steps each day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and I'll post that in the community feed with the grand total and then I will post my pruvit through my Fitbit so my Fitbit has all my data and trackers so I'll post my steps for the week.

I think I finished at about 160,000 for the week averaging like 22, 24,000 steps. So we shall see. But finished off yesterday really strong with 40 some thousand so I was pretty proud of that. But I hope everybody has a wonderful week. Do something for somebody, lift somebody up, show up for somebody else, it's always a beautiful thing. Dr. Charryse, thank you so much for joining. Emily, you're the best. Nikki. 5x life, that's what it's all about. If you're 5x ing your life and over indexing and over indexing your life of like you know, where you think you could be versus where you could be.

It's pretty crazy just to think like I was not done but I was just mentally cashed at two miles. I was like alright, just one more song, one more song, one more song and before you know it, you know, 10 miles later there you are. So 5x more than I thought. But everybody have a wonderful day, have a wonderful week. Look forward to all the live streams coming on this week. Always remember that coaching wise, if you're interested in coaching, there's one or two things that you can do, right? Always remember this, if you're interested in coaching, you're interested in one to one services.

We've had many a folk now that have had one to one services through the Cadre platform. Just remember so on each individual contributor's profile, if they're a coach they will have a book now feature and through the book now feature you can either do one of two things. You can immediately book, you can immediately book them through the one to one service opportunity which is their calendar and all that or option two is you can book, you can book through the opportunity to go directly to a coaching request and that will go to Nikki.

Nikki's our director of coaching. So one of those two options is there for you no matter what. If you're interested in one to one services. Okay, Take care everybody. Have a wonderful week. Lift somebody up. I love you all. Thanks for joining me. It's always the best part of my week. All right. Bye. Bye. Peace. When I come.
