4 agreements is a book I try to keep In mind as I learn and grow. The inside flap gives a brief synopsis of these four agreements Be immaculate with your word
– speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love Don’t make assumptions
– Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings sadness and drama. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life Don’t take things personally
– nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering Always do your best
– your best is going to change from moment to moment. It will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self judgement, self abuse, and regret The four agreements book flap by don miguel Ruiz 1997

COT: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman explores how our minds operate using two systems: System 1, which is fast, intuitive, and emotional, and System 2, which is slower, more deliberative, and logical. Kahneman shows how we often rely on System 1, leading to cognitive biases and errors in judgment. The book unpacks concepts like loss aversion, overconfidence, and the framing effect to explain how these mental shortcuts affect decision-making. It challenges the notion of human rationality in economics, politics, and daily life.

A beautiful morning at the General. 3 PAX got a head start with a TG10. I love the smell of blockees in the morning. Then we had FNG Titan and a few more HIMs for the regularly scheduled beatdown.

WARMUP Part 1: Legacy’s TG10. Ouch.
WARMUP Part 2: SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies, cherry pickers, arm circles, willie mays hayes, downward dog, cobra kai

THE THANG: The PAX did exercises on alternating goal lines. Traveling one way, farmers carry. Other way, rifle carry. The exercises were:
-5 No Sur-Man Makers (8 count exercise comprised of a coupon no surrender and a blockee) -10 Bonnie Blairs (hard way)
-15 coupon thrusters
-20 windshield wipers (leg lift over the coupon) IC
-25 v-ups
-30 OH press
-repeat exercises back down to 5

Part 2: One more trip down the field and back. First, catch me if you can. PAX 1 murder bunnies while PAX 2 does 10 curls and rifle carry to catch. Immediately switch and keep going in the same direction until you reach the goal line.
Round 2: Reverse rifle carry vs. 5 merkins and rifle carry to catch. Same alternating movement back to the start.

MARY: flutter kicks, dirty dogs, donkey kicks

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence

COT: It is the last week of Mental Health Awareness month. The theme for this week is “Community and Connection” which goes straight to the community that we have built here. The advice for the week is about social connections, a strong support system, and having open conversations. Good lessons for all 12 months of the year.
