Hey cadre, JC and Jeffrey back again. Jeffrey was so popular on the last cadre today that. The world was like, we need more, Jeff. Jeffy. So Jeff's back. Uh, he bit Alex yesterday, but he didn't bite anybody today. So we'll take that for a win. He's not a biter is a weird thing. He's never done that before. But it's the one year anniversary of, um, his big brother dying. Um, on Monday, so you can. Sense. There's some, um, some feelings going on. Long live Hamilton. Um, Hey everybody happy. Wednesday and, uh, welcome to cadre today.

Your daily reminder that you are already in this moment. Um, pretty amazing. Even if you don't feel like it. Jeffrey's like I'm done with this. Okay. Let's try sitting like this. How's that is that better? Stay for a little bit longer. Okay. Um, I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you are here. I know the things I know, and I care about you. I'm tired today. Like tired to a place that I'm like, like I feel sick that I'm so tired. Um, so, uh, I got to a meeting earlier on today. And I sat in my car and I closed my eyes for a moment.

Like this, um, nothing felt different. (laugh). You can always count on me to be like, here's the threes, the three steps to making everything. Better? No, you're never gonna hear me say that. Um, but even though closing my eyes for a moment, didn't make everything. Okay. It did allow me to do two things. Number one acknowledge the thoughts that were in my head for a moment. You can even see right there. Like I closed my eyes and all of a sudden I'm like, Ugh, and I cracked my neck. Didn't know that that was there.

Uh, but that I wanted to do that until I closed my eyes and I was like, here's a moment to be with where I am and what I have. Uh, the other thing that it did is I love saying. Right. Um, you jumping here into the cadre sphere. Is a good sign to yourself that you are on your own side. That you are doing something for you. That you are going, what do I need? What do I hear? What am I carrying? The act of asking these questions and being where you are with what you got. Um, is a big part of the ever everyday journey.

That's never gonna end of you. Doing the struggle of life. Um, you know, it's really easy to go ahead and say, um, it's really easy to say. It's like, oh, if you do these things, then all of a sudden things will get better. Oh like destigmatizing mental health is gonna make everything better. No, it's not gonna make everything better. But it is going to allow us to go, what do we have? Um, that we can put to use. To be a little bit better than maybe we could be, if we weren't. Weren't acknowledging what we carry.

I think the reality about the. Mental health crisis. Um, is that things seem to be getting harder and maybe worse at. Moments because they always have been. But the difference is now we're acknowledging it. And we are saying, what can I do about it? That's what we're doing right here. My invitation for you today. To close your eyes, close your eyes for a moment. Acknowledge what you're carrying. Acknowledge what you can do with it. Cuz you are already indeed in this moment enough, Jeff, can I have a kiss?

Can I have a kiss? Thanks. Have a good day, everybody.
