I feel like I've really gotten better at this over the past few weeks. My wife's rejection doesn't affect me nearly as much as it used to. The chaos our kids can cause at times does not rattle me like it used to. I did try hard mode and asked my wife where she has seen or felt you crack, react or disassociate. She told me she can't remember anywhere where I hadn't maintained my composure for quite some time, other than the kids told her that I got upset when she went shopping for a half a day with friends, and our kids wanted to constantly text her throughout the day (we have an extra cell phone we use as "house phone" in case we have to make quick errands and leave kids at home for 10-20 minutes). Anyway anytime my wife leaves, my daughter who is extremely clingy with my wife tries to hoard the phone and constantly texts my wife. I simply told her this time that she could have access to the phone, but I didn't think it was necessary to constantly text my wife. After my wife told me this, I told her we should think about the whole texting thing, figure out some guidelines and talk as a family so we're all on the same page going forward.

Gents, starting Monday, we’re entering a 2-week Integration Phase ahead of the upgraded 24-week Grounded Man Method, launching January 1st. (If you haven’t already go watch the video from my previous post explaining this upgrade) This is a deliberate deepening of the work focused on identity, nervous system regulation, and internal parts awareness. Key points: • You are not restarting • You are being upgraded at no extra cost • The weekly rhythm stays the same • This integration phase is your runway into the new depth of transformation You’ll get early access to deeper identity and parts-based modules to consolidate what you’ve already learned and step into 2026 more grounded and clear. This is not a pause. It’s preparation. I’ll attach a full FAQs sheet below. The “Integration Phase” will be available Monday in the classroom section. Let’s go 🔥https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W7k5kBXPM8UX9mIkGUnE1jNyc8gSmXkBMT7J3btvehY/edit?usp=drivesdk

One moment I snapped this week was talking with my mom and got short with her after she asked a question that was a little obvious for the answer. Here’s how I handled it when it happened today when she asked what I would do with clients I currently have in Reno when I move. I gave myself a second to respond and think about it then answered back in a calm more thought out way of saying it’s not very feasible to come back to Reno 7 hours and take care of past customers vehicles. Rather than just snapping back like the other day.

After yesterdays call I have had some time to think about how I want accountability this week. 1. Listen to 10x is Easier Than 2x before Monday (trying to listen to the whole book) 2. Make a list of 5-7 Tasks Daily to Complete before spending the remainder of my day with family. 3. Do not go on my phone when spending time with my wife and son (unless we are doing something that involves a phone, but if I am on the phone it should not be work related).
