(Relationship) Malpractice Insurance

– 4) 10 pickle pounder
– 5) 5 Kosak lunges each side
– 6) 10 Shakira (five each
– 7)Freddy Mercury (each)
– all we had time for
530-6: Framing the Topic:
“Most of us carry insurance for the stuff we’re afraid of losing — house, car, health. But what about malpractice insurance for our relationships? What are we doing to prevent damage before it happens?”
Q Source “M” concept:
– We have a finite number of arrows (time, energy, attention).
– We don’t know how many we have.
– Where we aim determines our IMPACT.
– Relationship malpractice is what happens when we mis-aim or neglect our Concentrica.
Where Are Your Arrows Going?
– Where do most of your arrows go right now? (Work? Kids? Phone? Fitness? Wife? Church?)
– If someone audited your calendar, what would they say you value most?
– Who in your Concentrica hasn’t gotten many arrows lately?
Early Warning Signs of Malpractice
– What are early warning signs that you’re drifting relationally?
– How do you know when you’re becoming transactional instead of intentional?
– What behaviors show up when you’re overextended? (Short temper? Withdrawal? Phone scrolling?
Preventative Practices (Insurance Premiums)
Insurance requires regular premiums. What are the relational premiums we pay?
Ask:
– What’s one simple practice that keeps you connected to your M?
– Do you schedule connection or just hope it happens?
– What’s a non-negotiable rhythm in your week that protects your relationships
Examples you can seed if needed:
– Weekly date night (even at home)
– Device-free dinners
– 1-on-1 time with each kid
– Monthly “state of the union” with spouse
– Texting a friend intentionally.
Legacy Question 
If you ran out of arrows next month, what relationship would you regret neglecting?
– What’s one arrow you need to intentionally aim this week?:
“What’s one premium you’re committing to pay this week?”

Your MILGA is showing

What a wonderful day in the MILGAhood. This being my first visit and q to Colosseum, I aimed to disappoint. The workout was this

– poles on the back of the school. increase rep count by 1 at each pole then return to start. Burpee Merkin Squat is taking the fort by storm
– found the only set of accessible steps on the entire west side. The count was however many leaps it took to get to the top by each pax. Average was 3 leaps. Some folks (Bandcamp) were jackasses and took 9. First excersice was burpees, then after everyone went we did dips
– then went to the court for broadjumps as our rep count. average was 4. step ups was the excersice until all pax had jumped
– lunge walk and bear crawl back to cot for 5 minutes of mary

Yes, i made pretty much all of this up as we went. I like to live dangerously like that.

Work from the Bird:
We all need prayers. Its not selfish to ask someone to pray for you. Don’t think you always need to pray for someone else. That’s a great thing, but you need to be right also. Work on that vertical relationship. Gotta get you right so you can help others. I’m asking for prayers for me. Send me all the love you got right now and ask Gods help too. I challenge you all to be bold and pick someone in COT to pray for. Even if they don’t ask for it. I GUARANTEE it will make their entire day having that power.

The road least traveled

WARMUP: the nice warm air gave us all the warm up we needed
THE THANG: the recommended route was L on munn, R on Harris, R on Sam smith, R into Sutton place neighborhood, take the first left 3 times to arrive at Sutton, R on Sutton, turn around once you hit 6th Baxter and do the whole thing in reverse. 4.35 miles. Not many did this route, but those who did were treated to some solid hill work <#C09QRA67ST0>
