I'm convinced after years of experimentation that tidying up our exercise habits, our thinking habits, and our communication habits are all tied to each other. When approached with focus and intention, these three areas can become powerful and effective.

It's going to be a good week. I've got a massage planned and Thanksgiving meal with family. And the YMCA is open every day.

We had a beautiful youth class today, with sticks and mitts. And I had a dream with all the elements of a Sensei nightmare (huge class, late, couldn't figure out the gi and hakama) though with a totally new sense. In a joyful and expansive manner, the class went on, with inclusivity and purpose.

It's a good day. We sold seven projects at work this week and I started the morning with strength training.
The past twenty years of forays into bar method, cross fit, yoga, and pilates have yielded really interesting movements that can be done anywhere.

It's so fun teaching kids again after a five year hiatus. We rolled down the big blue mat at an incline, practiced strikes on the red mat while counting in Japanese, and forgot to use the sticks. Next time.

Ofer Zur insisted that he live fully, and that the rest of us do too. He had bravery in spades and did not suffer fools gladly. He believed in the power of our choices and our ability to learn. These are themes to embody every day.

I like to take constructive action, because good deeds repair the world if we do enough of them. Apparently this food bank is decent, so they got a donation.

Developing a sense of pattern recognition is useful exactly to the extent that we reflect on the emerging patterns and take mindful action to shift them constructively.

I really like hourglasses lately, and have a ten minute version for meditation and a one minute version for targeted muscle building (like planks or squats).

Among the great lessons of Lighter by Yung Pueblo is to ask ourselves more interesting questions. Many people pay coaches for this, and that has value, though if we get deeply honest, we can do this work internally and get unstuck.

It's a beautiful gift of decades rolling along that making sound choices becomes more natural. I like helping groups go in generally the right direction while making space for creative surprises. The balance of structure and flow remains intriguing.
