Brothers, This morning with @Mike Rouzer @Mark Lee and @Jacob Rauscher was incredibly powerful. We opened the circle around the discussion of Right Of Passage and what it looks like in today's capitalistic "culture." Many cultures have a ceremonial ritual as a passage into adulthood which typically involves dissolving the ego. In my American human experience I've witnessed the opposite - Sweet 16 parties which seem to boost the ego and create competition. We discussed how each of us may have unknowingly gone through a right of passage which brought up a good point about the intentionality around the ceremony. This brought to mind the dangers of unintentional ceremony without preparation and integration. Ultimately the conversation lead to parenting; how important community is when raising a child and intentions behind bringing children into this world. I am really enjoying how our circle conversations have an organic flow. Lately it's been a single prompt that just rolls from there. Thank you brothers for showing up and being fully yourselves! AHO!

7/3 48 hour fast from 10pm June 30 through 10pm July 2. 7/1 Day one of fast Steps 12.3K Calories 0 Carbs 0 protein 0 Read 14 pages of Do Hard Things 7/2 Day two of fast. Fate ended at 10 pm. Steps 11.7K Cal 500 carbs 26 protein 47g Read 12 pages This is the first time I’ve counted macros. I’m interested in what I learn about myself during the month. Fasting during the heat was hard. I added more salt to my water then I’ve ever done during any fast. I noticed how often I would want to go buy a coffee. Giving up coffee has its challenges because I enjoy the flavor. I did drink some black and green tea. Reading was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I never liked reading because I was slow at it and my mind would wander. I listened to a lot of audiobooks while I drive. Now I want to go back through the books I’ve listened to and read them. I’ve learned from my book to listen to your body and toughness is not measured in how push yourself.
