COT:
– Springtime Renewal – clearing away the old and making room for the new
– One of the areas where we can make room is by getting rid of things making us upset in our lives, things that piss us off and consume our emotional and mental energy
– One popular approach is to look at the 3 major sources of upset – some think these are the only sources of frustration or disappointment: – An unmet expectation – something we expect to happen, and it hasn’t
– A thwarted intention – something we intend to do or that we’ve committed ourselves to doing, like a personal goal, and our plans for accomplishing it aren’t going the way we intended, they’ve been blocked or interfered with
– An undelivered communication – some message you need or want to share to someone or multiple people, but that you’ve withheld – Do an inventory of what’s making you upset and which source it comes from.
– Realize you’re in control of each of these sources of upset – what you expect, intend, and communicate are all in your control

COT: Blessed are the low in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. – Matthew 5:3

Pride is dangerous. Thinking too highly of ourselves is risky and leads to mistakes. lack of self awareness leads to folly and poor judgment.

This is not low self esteem which is in itself a form of pride. This is purposing the value of valuing others ahead of you.
Examine yourself and recognize your need for eternal rescue. Right size yourself in view of an almighty creator.

It was hard to tell if it was raining this morning. It was definitely raining. Except it wasn’t, except for when it was. Still, a good Monday crowd made it out in the gloom. The Q couldn’t settle on anything in particular so we just did stuff until time ran out.

WARMUP: SSH, tempo merkins, tempo squats, cherry pickers, willie mays hayes, down dog

THE THANG:
Part 1: 5-5-5-5
PAX split into teams and did 5 exercises, 5 reps, 5 times, with lots of high fives
Exercises: Carolina Dry Dock, monkey humpers IC, bonnie blairs (hard way), American hammers IC, merkins
One pax ran clockwise, the other counterclockwise. When they met they did the exercises, high fived, ran again until they met near the start, did the exercises, high five, and that was one lap. Repeato for 5 laps.

Part 2: Blind Bear Bingo
PAX lined up on the goal line. Bear crawl 10 yards with their eyes closed. Stop, open eyes. Penalty was 1 burpee for every yard you were off the target. Repeat to the 30 (20 yards)
Repeat to the opposite 40 (30 yards)
Repeat to the goal line (40 yards)

Part 3:
PAX lined up on the 50 and OYO had to do 100 Bobby Hurley’s, 100 WW1s, and crawl bear to the goal line in any combination/order/count they wanted.

MARY: WW1

ANNOUNCEMENTS: channel

COT: It’s almost the end of May. We’re a quarter of the way through the year. Did you make a resolution or set a goal and you’ve already fallen off the wagon? Wish you had set another goal for the year? It’s not too late. There are still 9 months to go. It’s a good time to recommit to whatever you said you were going to do for 2025.
