Hero!

Happy Friday. 🥳 (← Not celebrating because it’s the weekend, but because of another 24 hours to breathe and be and Optimize!)

It’s Michael here.

We often get feedback that it takes a little time to get used to the terminology we use in the Heroic Coach program.

And…

Since one of the best ways to learn something is to create the “desirable difficulty” of working to remember new information, let’s do a quick vocabulary pop quiz!

If you’d like to participate, take a stab at defining the following terms for YOU in your own words.

(Note: We were planning to share my answers below, but after having taken the time to complete the exercise (multiple times now!), we realized it’s better to create space for you to experience the same joy + benefits of getting clear on what YOU think, and save my responses for next week.)

This Week’s Actions (Recap)

• Watch: Module II: Hero-ology – Part 1: The Big Picture (PDF of the poster + worksheets here.) In which we defined the rules of the game, reminded ourselves that we will always (!!!) face challenges, met our training partners, learned how to use obstacles as fuel for growth, and prepared ourselves to face anything that life throws at us as we give our best in service to others.
  

• Practice: Train your ability to step in between stimulus and response by meditating! Try going for at least 5/7 days this week, even if just for one minute per day. 🧘‍♂️
  

• Heroic App Connection: Learn how to add the "Meditate" and "#1 Self-Care Habit" target to your protocol, plus review suggested prompts for how to engage with the Community on Heroic social.
