CoT:
Often, we try to escape our emotions instead of feeling them. However, escape leads to self-medication, usually in unhealthy forms and deprives us of growth. We were meant to feel various forms of being sad, lonely, bored, and stressed as part of our human experience. Allowing these emotions to dwell in us may be uncomfortable, but it is key to learning to cope with them in healthy ways and improving ourselves. We need to learn to embrace our emotions, not escape them. Emotions are part of the human experience.
“Dr. Banner,” Captain America said, “Now might be a really good time for you to get angry.” “That’s my secret, Captain,” Dr. Banner replied, “I’m always angry.”

Bruce Banner had learned to embrace anger and control it, rather than trying to escape it and let it rule him.

“When you feel so mad that you could roar, take a deep breath and count to four.” – Daniel Tiger

COUNT: 7
WARMUP: 4 burpees, 9 SSH, 4 burpees, Michael Phelps, 4 burpees, WMH, 4 burpees, IW, 4 burpees, hillbillies, 4 burpees, downdog

4 exercises, 9 reps each

2. Overhead coupon press
3. Chest press
4. WWI situps

Followed by a fellowship lap, and then 1 burpee (adding 1 burpee per round).

A timer ran in the background, and every 4 minutes the PAX did 9 burpees.

The PAX completed 6 rounds of the circuit, and the timer went off 9 times.

126 burpees in the bank!

MARY: Nah, we good.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Join the new announcements channel that Anchorman setup. I have it on good authority that announcements will in fact be posted there soon. In the meantime: AMBAB 1/25, Summit’s hike 2/1, Super Bowl squares 2/10, ARC 3/1.

COT: Yesterday saw the beginning of a new administration, which impacted a lot of people in a lot of different ways. Politics has always been about different ideas and people disagreeing. The difference now seems to be a lack of civility. Let’s bring back civility in our day-to-day as we encounter ideas we don’t agree with.
