Get out of the comfort zone
So the one thing I did to get out of my comfort zone was sort of embarrassing myself as I hate recording myself talking online in front of who know how many people will see. I purposely posted a story that I messed up on my wording and sort of rambled. But I put myself out that while also showing my face! It was tough hitting that submit button.

Power requires ownership
- One trait I’ve reclaimed this week is being irritable. Here’s the moment I lived it. I love to work with my hands and take on every task. In the past I would become irritable if it didn’t go my way! I would become annoyed with myself and would throw a tool or smack it against something totally losing my cool! Yesterday I was working on the house and putting back a storage system after being painted and was struggling to get in between the cabinet and vanity to put the screws in a brace. It took 20 minute to put 2 screws in and I slightly got irritated but then I immediately went into breathing and thinking how to get this and just ended up asking my mom too hold the cabinet tilted up even though it required removing to screws and someone help and it took me 10 seconds to fix and I just ended up laughing at myself instead of letting it bring my mood down for the rest of the day like it usually would have!

@Chris Sweigart just learning to properly breathe has been huge for me too man! I used to mouth breathe, inhale into my chest and get terrible sleep. Since retraining my body to breathe it’s helped me ground myself again!
One moment I snapped this week
Yesterday at bedtime well most bedtimes, is when I tend to crack and lose control of emotions or I’m just rushing through the routine of it. My oldest daughter likes to dawdle quite bit around these times and I always get on her about it. So not just this week but most days I lay them down I’m doing this but tonight before we start I’m going to breathe and get to a good spot in my core and be intentional with what I say and instead of correct actions I will connect with my actions. If I feel myself getting tight and frustrated I will breathe again and get through the bedtime routine without losing control and being grounded and more present during this time.

Great plan man!
One moment I snapped this week — here’s how I handle it or will handle it next time
Last night I snapped at my partners Grandfather. I won't get into it but It was a stressful situation for all of us. Most the time I had been grounded but then when the tension of the situation rose and I had commands from multiple direction. I momentarily lost my feet and raised my voice. I re-grounded myself after this moment and helped out others in the situation and came to group with more presence. I apologised and thankfully her grandfather recognised the stress of the situation and my attempt to help, rather than the volume/tone it was portrayed. Nevertheless, this was a snap moment for me. Next time I will have a pattern interrupt - likely with a rubber band, to signal to myself that my anxiety is raising and I need to recognise the situation, not just the direction

Thanks for sharing and putting this out on the table man. Really hard to do especially when the snap is with an elder! Harrison the other day on a call told us when tension rise plant your feet, breath into the trunk/ perineum and listen to them to fully connect! Then think does this need an answer response and if it does then respond!
My divorce story and why we fight
David had asked me last week what happened between me and my ex and with Daniel’s recent post about his talk with his partner I figured I’d share this with you guys. The last part will be in the comments.

@Daniel Edge yeah man just remember it’s not that we aren’t going to be nice people anymore but breaking from the nice guy characteristics so we don’t get walked over in life and business/ jobs. I tell people I’m breaking away from the stereotypical nice guy because they hear nice guy and they don’t understand then I have to go into the explanation of it and what i used to do. But we also build trust and our partners can rely on us to hold not only our emotions but theirs as well. I was so bad that last October when my ex and I talked about being poly tried it and I told her it’s not what I want right now we can try later she told me that she would want it at some point and if it was a thing we may have to split. I broke down crying like a little baby for her just saying it could happen! Also remember if you have issues come to us or other men in your life! People see it as weak but man you have to have someone there for you when life gets super crazy!
