In doing my inner child work, I realized that from about age 8 I took this message:

Be perfect or be rejected.

By God, by family, by church, by friends.

Sure, you could repent and make things right…

But you were always one sin or misstep away from being rejected.

It’s not a fun way to live.

As I’ve come to know God better, I believe he is unfairly generous with us.

He’s looking for us to come to Him and know Him…

Not waiting for us to make a mistake to punish us.

So, I’ve decided to trust that unfair generosity…

And try to give it to myself, my wife, my kids, my friends and the people I interact with.

It feels very freeing and powerful.

Are you jealous of how your wife treats your kids?

If so, there’s probably a younger you that needs some love and attention.

Most of us don’t know how to take care of the younger us.

Here’s a simple tool:

Lay on the ground

Picture the younger you

Talk to him and see what he needs

That’s it!

Do that for a few minutes each day and see what happens.

I be you’ll be a better husband and father.

To hear more about God’s message to me about how my wife sucked… if she married a 3 year old…

And how celebrating poop helped me…

Today is a bittersweet email and podcast.

I’ve decided to take a break from podcasting as well.

Inside of myself, I just feel like my body, mind, heart and spirit are calling me to a rest period.

I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you email subscribers, podcast listeners, YouTube subscribers…

A HUGE thank you to my clients who I have learned so much from, to everyone who has been willing to help their brothers in my programs, for the people who put in work to transform their lives and marriages and their families’ futures.

It’s been an honor to be part of your journey.

And, a GIANT thank you to Coach Mimi who is absolutely the best person I could have worked with in the programs.

From here on out I may do a podcast here and there, and you’ll be getting updates on my supplement company progress, and if I learn something particularly meaningful I’ll share it.

But mainly for me, it’s a time to rest.

Also, we hit a huge milestone of 1,000,000 podcast downloads, so thank you all for listening!

Stay strong in God men!

Conflicts are going to happen in a marriage.

It’s what you do after that will either make your marriage stronger…

Or weaker.

Try these steps:

-Share the pain. What happened that hurt you?

-Listen to her pain. What hurt her?

-Help each other

-Ask for a “we’re OK” signal. This lets you know that you can keep moving forward, stronger.

Hear a clear example of this in today’s episode.

Are you often angry at your wife, kids or others?

Do the things they do just make you so upset, you find yourself stewing on how they should change?

Well, it may be that you, like me, are running from pain by turning to anger.

And, pushing away the people you want close to you.

Instead, build up your ability to feel and tend to emotional pain…

Then stand strong in yourself to find solutions that work for you and the people you love.

It’s not easy, so let’s do this together in Grounded Leadership!

It can be easy to lose your New Year’s resolutions.

In fact, up to 45% of people give up by the end of January, and 94% give up at some point through the year.

Why is that and how do we maintain focus?

Step 1 - Choose just one goal

Step 2 - Choose a plan to meet it

Step 3 - Visualize daily to make the pain worth the gain

Step 4 - Figure out what you can and can’t control, focus on what you can

Step 5 - Add in coaching and accountability to increase your odds

If you do this, you can be one of the 6% who hits their physical, financial, family and spiritual goals.

Get healthier.

Get wealthier.

Have better relationships.

These are the most common New Year’s resolutions.

Most people think they just need the right plan to reach these goals.

The right diet. The right budget. The right communication tools.

But here’s the thing.

Right plans fail when you can’t tend to your emotions.

When you can’t resist the treat. When you can’t stick to your budget. When you lose your temper again.

The root cause of failure is failure to tend to emotions.

Learn how to do this well in today’s episode.
