JC reflects on hectic days and offers a brief, practical mindset shift and pacing tips for managing back-to-back demands, with prompts to share Cadre experiences and acknowledge personal resilience during busy stretches.
Cadre is a group of people that special intention ballgame 22:30. Research shows that we exist more like 90% fight, flight and about 10% rest, digest and a lot of wellness. What do we do when we have those days where we can't do the human things like breathing and resting?
Hey, good morning, Cadre. How are we doing on this Monday? I'm coming to you from underneath the fluorescent lights. Anybody out there like fluorescent lights? I appreciate fluorescent lights. I appreciate that they exist. I think they save energy, money. I think, I think they're efficient. But there's something about how that fluorescent light hits your, hits your eyes that make you go, but that's where I'm coming to you from this morning. How are we doing out there in the Cadre sphere? I'm waiting for it.
There's the official flip over to 7:45 Central Standard Time. Speak Wonder. Right on the money, my friend. C. it is Monday and we're right here within this community, this Cadre community. A Cadre, a special group of people that special intention ballgame 22:30. Go Timberwolves. And our special intention here is to help people feel better and to do way do it in, in ways that, that people can feel people can speak about. I want you to consider this morning. If you've been a part of Cadre for a while, can you share your Cadre story with someone?
Can someone go, hey, so tell me about Cadre. Why do you use it? How do you know it's working? And I bet, I'd bet a nickel and I never bet more than without that space, where you go, who, when am I going to eat some lunch? Or by a golly, unless I get a time machine, I'm going to be late for that meeting because no matter what, I just got too much in this day. You got one of those days already this week. You see it on the schedule. I'm in the midst of it right now. It's the reason why your 7:30am Cadre today is at 7:45.
Because I had to drive to get somewhere so then I could set up so that I could hop on one call, so then I could leave that call early so I can be with you right here. I look at my day and I go. I will be home at 10pm and until then, minus a couple commutes, I am in front of people. I am with people. I am teaching people, I am guiding people. I am learning from people. It is one of those days for me. So what do we do when we have those days where we can't do the human things like breathing and resting and stopping and the things that allow us to go?
Well, number one, we remind ourselves of our capacity to bear, to do, to fight, to endure. We are designed that way. You know, a lot of science shows the way that our systems are set up that we're about 90, we're designed to be about 90% of time in our rest and digest and about 10% of our time in our fight and our flight. Now, on the realities of the last, let's say 14,000 years since we started kind of farming and industrializing and having to be on schedules outside of our own body clock, there's a lot of, a lot of research that can show that we exist more like 90% fight, flight and about 10% rest, digest and a lot of wellness.
People will be like, oh my gosh, this is, this is killing us. And I would go, no, we're actually incredibly resilient, we're incredibly durable. And the people who are normally saying, oh, this is killing us and you need to take this magical pill or sign it for my 7 week course on XY XYZ to go ahead and save you from the, the life that you're living. They're really attempting to go ahead and make sure that they can feed their family and, and maybe retire one day. So they amplify the, the scariness of their message maybe a little bit.
But even with that being said, do we want to be 90% fight? Probably not. And yet as we give ourselves grace and going, huh, I'm gonna think about how I be well more often. I'm gonna think about how I get on my own side a little bit more. Then all of a sudden we go, huh, yeah, you know what? I'm doing really good. And yet there are going to be those days up at 5, you're not home till 10 and you're going, oh my gosh, this day is going to be one of those days you settle in because the more life you live, the more moments you experience where you go, that was a really great moment.
I guarantee you my day is going to be filled with some pretty remarkable moments purely because I'm living even more busy today. So that's going to be my nourishment. I'm going to make sure I find those moments to go. And even though today is chock full of stuff, amidst that I'm going to find these little moments that I wouldn't have maybe had otherwise. Just like on the rest days, we see things that maybe we wouldn't see because we're busy. Every day offers you something. What do the busy days offer?
Think about those things, be nourished by them, and then be surprised when all of a sudden this day flies by and you got a whole nother one waiting for you. Cadre I'll see you tomorrow by.
