Circle of Trust

With the world as we know it these days, so much shit going on, emotions running high, plus I seem to get a new injury every other post, I’ve been reminded of this and now remind you….WE MUST TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES MEN!

The men of F3 come from all walks of life, age brackets, fitness back grounds (or lack thereof for some of us) but one thing most of us have in common (outside of silly obsession with 430A alarm clocks), is we put our families first, and ourselves second (or 3rd, or 4th…) – it is what makes us who we are and the men we strive to be, it urges us on most days, and these days thats more important than ever, but we have to take care of ourselves too. Like from the announcement we used to 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 mentioned this in other CoTs, 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 well. 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 regularly stretching or crying out loud! And if needed, talk to someone to help get your mind right; hired help, a friend, or maybe even Nair will do. 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 TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOURSELVES!
