Sometimes you’ve gotta dig deep to pull out of a funk. Today is one of those days.
Good morning, cadre. I'm a little chilly, cause I'm fresh out of my cold plunge here. Had a little late start. To, uh, my morning, kind of had a. Tough day yesterday. And it led to just not really being able to. Get to sleep last night when I wanted. Which then led to some poor sleep, which then led to. Not really wanting to get out of bed. Which led to considering I'm not gonna be able to. Be doing my livestream. But, uh, I am here. And, you know, when, uh, things are not going the way that you anticipate.
There's always things that you know, you should do, but seem hard to do. But, you know, I should do 'em anyways and. That's uh, what I've been trying to do this morning, you know? I've got my pushups in. I got my cold plunge in. Uh, haven't had a chance to get my journal in, but I will get my journal in. And I'm getting my cadre in. And, uh, you know, some of the stuff that's going on in my life. I can't really, it's not really. Not really I don't know, in a position to, to share. What when, uh, you know, those around you are struggling.
It could be hard to. Like absorb that was tough feelings. (laugh). On a consistent basis. And. It can seem hard when you're trying to. Bring someone up. And they're just not receiving. The information or they seem that they're receiving, they seem receptive to the information and then it just. Like goes in one ear and goes out the other as if. It didn't happen. And then it kind of ends up. Like Groundhog day where you're just. Doing the same dance. Every single day are just way too often. And it can be very challenging and very frustrating.
So I'm just kind of in one of those. Little bit of moments right now. Where, you know, some some of the basic things that, you know, you need to do are tough because. Remind is elsewhere. Thinking about someone else and trying to get them. Feeling better. So yeah, I guess I don't even know what I'm really. Chatting about here today. I just. You know, we're all in this for mental health. And you know, being someone who's a contributor, you know, doesn't mean that I'm. I'm gonna avoid mental health struggles.
Struggles, uh, you know, I'm in it. Just like we all are. And. It could be affected by them in different ways. And. Kind of just chatting about it. It helps. Right? So that's why we have this community. Someone was just yelling at their. Kid, I think big yell. I was almost delayed on here, cuz my cat Roger was eating, literally eating a. Bird. So I wonder what that, what kind of sign that is? (laugh) but, uh, yeah. I'm just kind of here today to just. Provide you know, an example of, Hey, life can be tough.
And getting through it with community. And talking to people who are. Uh, experts. At that have experienced these types of things before. Is just, uh, really necessary. So yeah, I'm just gonna, almost just sit here and, and just. Be cuz uh, yeah, I don't have any, I got nothing today. I gotta try to, I gotta try to pick myself up. I'm going to have a good breakfast. I'm gonna journal. I'm gonna. Go for a walk. I'm gonna be barefoot in my backyard over there. Um, grounding. I'm probably gonna sound a later.
So it's trending like today is just turning into, uh, replenish the soul day. So as much as I want to. You know, be productive and. The work area of my life today. It's probably gonna be more productive to just. Focus on me and take a day. Just do me. (laugh). So if you find yourself in one of those positions where you're just. Trudging along and not able to make it happen. Just do something that you know is good for you. Even if you don't want to do it. Cause it's better than just. Sitting, you know, it's doing nothing.
If you constantly sit, you're gonna go to shit. So it's better to move. And yeah, I think that's, uh, that's all I'm gonna be able to muster up here today. Hopefully I'll be back later this week with a little more pep in my step. After, uh, kind of pulling myself out of, uh, a tough day here. So. At least the sun is shining. It is another. Beautiful day. So I'm gonna just try to be outside and embrace it as best I can. So I hope you all do the same and, uh, we'll chat with you soon.
