Circle of Trust

Couldn’t quite decide on my CoT, stumble on the below from 2 years ago, and very much still applicable so i regurgitated. 🙂

We come from all walks of life, age brackets, fitness back grounds (or lack thereof for some of us) but one thing I believe most of us have in common (outside of our crazy weird love of 430A alarm clocks), is we put our families first, and ourselves second (or 3^rd, or 4^th…) – it is what makes us who we are and the men we strive to be, it urges us on most days, and these days that’s more important than ever, but we have to take care of ourselves too. Like the announcement we get on airplanes, you must put the oxygen mask on first, then help others. If we break down, physically or mentally, we aren’t much good to anyone. I’ve heard this from others, and talk about it often myself, I’ve had more than a few physical reality checks since joining F3, some workout related injuries, and some when there is just shit wrong and more recently some mental battles as wellm all of which can have a tendency to linger. We need to try and prevent the surprises, take care of our whole selves as best we can, get to a doctor regularly, have that thing checked out you’ve been putting off, get a physical, do some stretching for once in your life! And if needed, talk to someone to help get your mind right; hired help, a friend, or maybe Bob Ross. Take care of yourself, you deserve it and your families need you too. I love coming out in the gloom and getting stronger with you, that won’t stop, but it has only increased my love of family and I want to able bodied and of right mind for as long as humanly possible. So my ask of you all is to go home and take at least one necessary step today to just that, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES MEN!
