Jan 29 • Weekly Check-Ins
Check-In
Good morning, gentlemen.
I’ve created this dedicated thread for our weekly check-ins, a shared space to name where we are, honestly and without performance.
This week, I’m checking in with a deeper relationship to stillness, something I’ve been consciously re-cultivating in my days for this year. Yesterday, that stillness opened me back up to archetypes and their role in my own growth. They have always resonated or at the least given a guide.(Huge mythology and Fantasy literature nerd here)
Almost like a switch flipped, I began moving through the day as if I were a character in my own hero’s journey again. In that perspective shift, I felt a significant amount of stress, guilt, and quiet shame simply fall away, like a pack of stone falling off my back after a steep mountainous climb. Things clarified. Even how I entered my home and showed up relationally changed.
That internal shift showed up physically as well. After speaking a few important truths with my partner last weekend and standing by my truths regardless of the arguments that followed, my workouts have noticeably strengthened. I’m pushing, pulling, and lifting roughly 20% more weight and volume than I was two weeks ago. It’s been a clear reminder of the real cost for me of holding things in.
I’m looking forward to hearing where each of you is checking in from this week. internally, relationally, or in your bodies.
Take your time. Speak from where you actually are
