Empty Tank?!



I’m just sitting here listening to some Jimmy Buffett (still hard to believe he’s gone…).

I’m no parrot head, but I did get a chance to see him a few times in concert… Quite an experience if you ever got the chance.

I thought I’d sneak one more email out to you before the weekend closes in.

Empty Tank!?

One of the negative patterns that I see in a lot of leaders out there is that many themselves last.

They take care of everyone else, but they don’t take care of themselves.

And that, my friend, inevitably leads to burn out.

You’re no good to anyone if you burn out (not to mention it’s a miserable place to be too!)

YOU have to stay healthy. If you don’t have anything left, what are you going to give?

It’s hard to be a Protector if you don’t have any fight left in you.

If you’re tired, frazzled and burned out, you’re a easier target and sometimes maybe even the instigator.

You have to feed your body… Your mind… Your soul.

You have to be able to recharge.

Most folks are operating from a deficit. Every time you are taking charge, helping out, dealing with conflict, being the host with the most… whatever, you need energy to do so.

If you don’t have anything left in the tank, you can’t move forward.

That’s why your training has to be strategic. Every week you must do something to feed your mind, body, and soul to get and stay strong…

Not to mention grow!

Life is giving you feedback to give you exactly what you need to level up, but you have to be listening to it.

If you feel burned out, or like the world is on your shoulders, then take some time to recharge.

If your training isn’t helping you do that, you’re doing it wrong!

What are you doing today to get mentally, physically, and spiritually strong?

If you don’t have an answer…

You better start making a plan!

A Great Way to Train?!

Learning how to do this and live the life of what I call a PeaceWalker is simple, but most need help to get things going…

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...

Persistence

  Camping, Ants & Tortilla Chips No, I don’t camp in the winter anymore. I’m a fair weather camper (although it seems to rain every time). My love of camping has facilitated a long-standing battle with ants. Crawling all over the food. Marching in a line from the sand to my tent. Ruining jars of honey if left unattended for even a minute. So… I was making lunch by the fire one day (last spring), when I noticed a tortilla chip dance across the ground. Since I had never seen a tortilla chip dance, I crouched down to investigate. Evidently, an especially persistent ant had found it under my foldout chair. He was toting his enormous treasure back to wherever the ants in live. I was mesmerized. And quite impressed. Ants are amazing creatures. They can easily carry things more than 50 times their body mass and will patiently travel several miles to bring a prize home to the colony. Several miles, can you imagine? Now, I don’t necessarily want them running amok on my campsite pic...

Not a Big Fan

  I don’t know about you, but I’m not a big Facebook fan. Our page has been shut down numerous times over the years. Many of our members don’t like fb for security reasons as well. And don’t get me going on big tech agendas, and all the other tin foil hat theories… Regardless, I’m not a big social media fan, which is a bit hypocritical because I do have quite a presence on several of my Ronin and PeaceWalker pages… However… I put together our own private network called PeaceWalker Connect… And I’d like to invite you to it. There are two tiers: One is called the Network and it’s free. The other is Premium and is called the Inner Circle. I’d like to invite you to the Free Network, where you can get access to community, training and resources, some livestreams and other goodies. The entire platform is all about training to protect yourself (and others), dealing with conflict (inside & around you) and (of course) leading a happier, more powerful Life! Here’s the link if you’d like ...
