How to Crush August – Behavior Hacks
- Remember: Action cures fear
- Self-esteem is built, not bought
- There are things you do every day that others only dream about doing
- Treat yourself like someone your responsible for helping
- Find something to focus your energy on w/o that, you’re likely to create problems that don’t exist in the first place.
- Remember that you will die. Let that determine what you do and say and think.
- Learn more, but more importantly, apply what you learn.
- Check in on someone
- Enjoy time with friends and family
- If you feel without purpose…realize that you need to go through the discomfort to actually find the purpose. The only way out is through.

Naked Man Moleskin
As the PAX run up the hill the first time, a pair of young-ins were there to enjoy the sunrise. Apparently, nothing bothers young-ins especially when Men are doing butterfly sit-ups, nonetheless 16 men. These two had a blanket and were comfortable staring into each others eyes and sharing donuts or something. Do parents know where their kids are? Nair led his AOVQ like any other, you never want to disappoint the crowd that attends. By the time we got to the Count O Rama, we had Respect all over the place with 5 HIMS. Wine in the Box did an EC Ruck with Goldberg and Flush, he had to leave for family duty. Hootie got back on the train after a few weeks of coaching soccer. The Iron Lion faithful of Baby Hands, Mr. Burns, House Arrest, Ronda Rousey and Goldberg didn’t disappoint with there amazing work ethic. Nair knew to plan for those guys. Complex guys Flush, Bongo, Anthill are kicking major butt as well. Dark Tower was represented with Radio Flyer (an ISU alumni) such as myself, keeps on killing it. Cousin Eddie is all over the place on the AO map and is a great leader for F3. Met Centerfold for the first time this morning, awesome job. Zebra was an FNG DR LaGrange and biked to Iron Lion. He was treated to a Nothing too Fancy workout.
