Hey MRC Crew! Happy Monday morning! How’d your weekend go? It was pretty 🥶 here this weekend so we stayed inside for most of the weekend. I’m hoping we get a little warmer weather soon & more snow so Melissa and I can go snowshoeing. I made this great chicken thigh/broccoli sheet pan recipe last night. It was quick to prep -though I would probably let the chicken sit in the marinade for longer, took about 40-45 min in the oven and tasted great! Definitely adding it to the rotation especially if I’m crunched for time.

What Feels Most Frustrating In Your Body Right Now?

I get it most people will say "well the challenges made things harder for me and it made me unhappy" but did you know that from monitoring and assessing the mental health of over 100 special forces members they found that those who saw the challenges as good things, were able to make more moments of fun and not need any support and performed 20x better than their colleagues, thats right x20. For those who saw the challenges as negatives the majority left with depression, needed additional support for prolonged periods of time and did not perform at the level of colleagues. When asked why they looked at the challenges differently, the simple answer was "why see the negatives in it" or "life is too short" I cannot pretend to be a champion in this, but it certainly made me think differently about challenges and how I see them, which got me thinking about if we all saw them as positives what would the world look like. How do you see them and how do you think you could make them look better for you?

Hey MRC Crew! As the group grows outside of my friends/peers/colleagues it would be great to learn more about you all. So here's a fun question to get to know you better. Where is your favorite place(s) to travel to? For me my favorite place I've been that I want to go back to time and time again is Traverse City, Michigan (which is where Melissa and I will eventually live) My favorite place I think I've been on vacation was Costa Rica. I loved the region, people & vibe of it all. So, where is your favorite place to visit/travel to? I'll add some pics from both places in the comments.

As a SKool community creator it is easy to have our heads down in the weeds and not really come out of our caves. I’m trying really hard to connect with other SKool community creators & today I had a GREAT chat w/ @Jon Cooke. It’s amazing how you can meet someone who is in a completely different continent & country but still find connection & things in common.
