Cadre Today: Work, Recover, Discover

Burning love inside I've been working my way back to you, babe Happiness that night I let it get away every day we'll let it keep going. Cafe Marisa in love with you When I was three. And we'll hit the pause right there. Matthew, how are we doing on this Wednesday? I guess it's Wednesday, y'. All. I hope you're doing great. There's a nice crisp in the air where I am. I hope wherever you are, you're feeling something too. My name's JC this is your little Cadre today moment where you get reminded of two things.

That it's great if you're doing great, and it's also pretty great if you're not. You're still doing this thing. You're still experiencing life and experiencing life, pride, information. And that information is fuel and direction and power and evidence that you are indeed already alive and kicking and well. Second thing I'll remind you is that I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you, Marisa. I am. I'm not doing too great, right? And that's, that's like I say, it's okay.

I'm in the grief ballet. I'm in the part of my brain saying, go do the things. And then parts of my body and being going, no. I'm in the midst of an ever changing world that, you know, even. Even on the best of days is. Is fun and difficult to. To navigate. The mental health dance is always a real one, Matthew. I love the Fields of fall as well, but thanks for asking, Marisa. Yeah, and that's the thing. We, we. We understand we don't. We don't get what anyone's ever going through, but we understand that everybody's going through stuff.

So when I say, I'm glad I'm here, I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. It means things more and more every single day because you go, oh, that still applies, even though this has changed. So today I want to offer you three links of a chain. Work, recovery, discover. I like looking at how those three steps on a road or links in a chain connect. Right? First of all, we do what we do. We work. Whether that work is. Is professional or playful, whether it's with plan or, you know, on a whim, whether it's situational, as in there's a project and we're doing it, or whether it's continuous, it's like, okay, this is the Thing I do single day for years and decades and lifetimes.

And that work then requires recovery. We use what we got, so we don't got it anymore. So then we need to take time to get what we used to have back again. But then there's a third chunk I like to put in, because often it's like, we need to work and we need to rest. We need to work in the way. We need to rest, we need to work, then we need to rest. But I like adding one more step in that process, and it's work, recover, and then discover. So often I. It's been a little while since I think I've said this, but.

But everybody is an athlete. You may go, I'm not an athlete. I don't play a sport. I go, no. Like, what an athlete is, is someone who does something. They think about how they did it, and then they consider how they can do it better before they go back and they do it again. That's what. That's what athletes do. So if you make eggs, after you make eggs, you eat the eggs, then you go, huh? Next time, I'm gonna try making the eggs this way versus that way. I'm doing a little bit more of this and a little bit less of that.

That's an athlete perspective on making eggs. And it's in that third step. It's not in the doing. And then going, now I need to rest before I can do it again. And there are a lot of people who live that way that they do. They get tired. They wait till they're not tired anymore, and they do again. And that seems like a daunting, daunting, daunting path to me. Because if we don't take the time to discover what presents after we've done the thing and recovered from it, we are no longer verbs. We are no longer evolutions.

We are no longer revolutions. We are purely nouns. We are the thing that does the thing. Boom. So today I ask you to consider after you've done your work and you've taken some time to go, whew, okay, I need to recover. What do you do next? Do you go back to work? Or do you take time to discover what you now know that you did not know before that can change the way you do the work once you start again. Think about it. In the meantime, live your life, y'. All. I will be back again tomorrow morning.

That's what I do. But I promise you, before I do, I will think about how today went. And in that discovery, I expect tomorrow will be different than today I'll be making my way back to you, babe See you tomorrow. Let it get away.
