Touching Base



I hope you, your family and friends, colleagues and community are all hanging in there during all of this.  

So much has transpired for all of us in the past few days, I know everyone is feeling it. Uncertainty, stress, fear of the unknown. 

It's easy for our minds and emotions to begin to take us to some pretty dark places, but...

Hold tight! You got this!

Remember, this is what we've been training for...

~ To be leaders in this time of crisis. 

~ To help everyone be a little safer when we are there.

~ To help people in need know that someone has their back. 

~ And to make sure through this fog of uncertainty, stress, and fear, that where ever we go people are glad we are there... 

So, in everything that you do, by your presence alone, in your own unique way. Help where you can, everything counts!


Managing Your Fears

It is difficult to lead others and inspire confidence when our own fears take a hold of us. 

I know gang, I'm really feeling it too, but don't succumb to your demons of 'what if' worse case scenarios. 

Sometimes when that picture becomes too overwhelming you have to relax, breathe, be in THIS moment and think of a better bigger picture... 

Think of the things you can do.

Think of one little next step.

Have faith in something bigger than yourself... 

Bigger than all of this!

You are strong and resilient.

We don't have to know exactly how this all will look moving forward, but we will make it through this. 


Keep Going,
Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
