At 5:30am, YHC welcomed the PAX to F3, F3 stands for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. I then covered the 5 core principles (free, open to all men, always outside, led in a rotating fashion, and end in a circle of trust), the mission statement (to plant, grow, and serve small men’s workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership), the pcredo (leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him), and the disclaimer

CoT:
Goal setting. I listened to a Huberman Lab podcast from July 24th and the portion about goal setting and maintaining motivation stuck with me.
Make your goal approach oriented instead of avoidance oriented. It is hard to track progress toward your goal if it is avoidance oriented.
For example: It is measurable when you have the goal to eat more healthy foods, you can track when you eat healthy foods. It is much harder to measure if you have a goal to avoid foods that are bad for you. How do you track every time you don’t open the pantry at 8 or 9pm to grab a cookie or some chips?
It is also more rewarding when you achieve an approach oriented goal. It gives you a sense of accomplishment, pride, and further motivates you. When gauging success of an avoidance oriented goal, you tend to just feel relief that you didn’t fail which isn’t necessarily motivating to continue your pursuit.
Make your goals approach oriented to make them more effective and motivating.
YHC closed us out in prayer.
Aye,
Busser
