BOOTCAMP CANCELED! Effective tomorrow (3/13/20) Vetta has cancelled all events, games, classes, (and, most importantly) Bootcamp. This is a precautionary measure in response to this whole Coronavirus business. ... At present, I don't know when class will resume. But I'm told we're canceled at a minimum through Friday (3/20/20). And we'll have to wait to get more information which I'll of course be sharing as soon as I receive it. Here's the link to the email I just sent out: http://www.icontact-archive.com/archive In the email, I included details about Bootcamp Xero which will allow you to keep getting your sweat on in the meantime. My sincerest apologies for what is hopefully a very short-lived inconvenience. Stay strong! And I hope to see everybody again soon! Much love! CJ

How was your week? . Was it a good week? Or a bad week? Was it a good day? Or a bad day? . ... Often people base their view of their day or week on what happened TO them. They are the effect rather than the cause of their reality. This is a victim’s mentality. . Conversely, Heroic people accept responsibility for whether it was a good day or a bad day because they made it so. . But even heroic people have bad days. Despite their best efforts. Despite working hard. Despite great intentions. . If you ask them, it was no single thing, they just expected more of themselves. . This pic taken from Atomic Habits displays how a good or bad day is really just a culmination of the micro decisions we make throughout a 24-hour segment. . Worked out = Good decision Ate the donut at work = Bad decision Good, bad, good, bad... which is why we usually come out near neutral. . Herein lies the power of developing habits. You stop waking up and wasting energy on the Do I or don’t I? You stop draining your resources on the internal debate. You stop basing decisions on the whimsy of emotion, motivation, or will power. You act according to habit and tally good decisions early and often. . Good day? Or bad day? It comes down to decisions. Made automatic by habits. Executed by your Heroic Self. . Your micro decisions become your macro reality. (So pick up the kettlebell. And put down the fucking donut.) . #heroic #atomichabits #habits #goodday #badday #decisions #choices #motivation #storyathlete #impactclub #stlfitnessbootcamp #stl #yourmicrobecomesyourmacro See more

Coronavirus Stop! Whatever you’re doing, stop right now! ... Go to Walgreens and buy all the soap and hand sanitizer you can get your hands on. Go to the grocery store and stock up on non-perishables. Board up your home and remove your children from school. Cancel all your flights and future travel arrangements. And just in case, stop drinking Corona beer while you’re at it. Because the coronavirus is coming to murder you (with microscopic wedges of lime to slice up your insides.) Ok, to clarify, the above is satire. For those of you who didn’t drop everything and start prepping for the apocalypse, I commend you. (I mean, still prep for the apocalypse. Just do it on your own time. ) It’s fascinating to watch human behavior. And even more fascinating to see how programmable the human mind is. Watching the news religiously is like begging a team of hypnotists to poison your mind. What should I fear today, Magical Talking Box? Today’s special is the coronavirus! Ahhhhhhhhh!... It’s on me! It’s on me! Settle down 24-hour news cycle subscriber. Odds are, you’re going to make it. Just like you survived that mad cow disease outbreak. And the bird flu pandemic. And the swine flu. And the West Nile Virus. And the salmonella tainted cashews. And the E. Coli on the lettuce. Against all odds, you somehow survived, didn’t you? But the TV said Of course, the TV said there’s something to worry about. Surprise, surprise! You went searching for problems. And you found them. You took an IV drip of fear. And needled it into your vein. Immerse your brain in garbage. And it’s no wonder all your thoughts turn into trash. There is a virus you should be worried about though. (And it doesn’t rhyme with My Sharona.) The virus that’s decimating billions of humans is false stories. Broken operating systems. Limiting beliefs. Shitty programming. The disease you should be most afraid of is the Lesser Self. The insidious, cowardly imposter that masquerades as your own voice and dares to occupy space inside your virtually limitless mind. And only you have the antidote. Only you can change the narrative. Only you can write a plot twist. Only you can turn off the news. And tune in to your God-given potential. This most insidious virus of the mind doesn’t kill you instantly in a day. Or in a week. Or in a month. It festers for years. Grows tentacles. Sinks its hooks in. Drains you like a parasite. Siphons off your life force. Transforms you into its unwitting zombie host. Only decades later, filled with regret, will you recognize all you could have done. All you could have created. All you could have become. All the people you could have helped. If you weren’t so enraptured with fear. Scared of the shadows. And whatever else the talking heads on TV prioritized on your behalf. But instead you were a victim. A lemming. A consumer. A programmable asset. A pawn instead of a player in the grand game of life. My guess is you’ll survive this year’s coronavirus. (And the hippopotamus virus after that.) But until you inoculate yourself against your Lesser Self, you’ll forever be trapped in the Matrix. Maybe you should spend your time fretting about anthrax and Ebola. Maybe you should bathe yourself and your loved ones in giant vats of Germ-X every hour on the hour for eternity. Or maybe you should start programming your mind with something other than just fear. Maybe you should start changing your story. Maybe you should start right now. Today. Before it’s too late.
