Opening Note
It's been about three years since I hit publish here.
Right now the world is in a huge transition and I feel pulled to shift in a way I’ve felt deep in my soul, but may not have fully actualized in real time before.
My energy this week has been a teeter totter of emotions.
Back and forth on if I’m ready to step into this next phase or if I should put it off until “I feel that I am ready for the responsibility and challenges that come with this type of vulnerability this endeavor comes with.
Needless to say….. WE OUT HERE YEEEEEEEEE!
Skill of the Week
This section will be about rebuilding a daily minimum.
Not a technique flourish, not a new choreography drop (well sometimes y’all may get that because my brain does what it wants aha) just showing up for movement, no matter what kind of day it is.
Consistency is the actual skill. This section will be a theme for the week (which may or may not be divided into long stints of a skill or aspects of a skill to be learned.
We are gamifying skills like a character in SIM’s game or Final Fantasy for example.
The technique, the strength, the polish that all comes after the minimum is solid, not before.
Practice
Try this today: pick one small, non-negotiable movement ritual, for example…
A walk, a stretch sequence, whatever your version of "30 minutes or less" looks like.
This is practice and not results based.
Just to prove to yourself you'll show up.
That's the whole practice this week okayyyyyyy, so have fun!
Build in Public
The Cortext is officially back after a long pause…literally I left my own newsletter on READ for 3 years y’all!!!
This time it's structured to actually run weekly, not disappear again.
(Pray for me to keep this up lols)
Behind the scenes, I'm also taking on new brand and content work, and building out the systems — the operating layer — that keep all of this sustainable instead of chaotic.
More on that as it unfolds.
Invitation
Reply and tell me one thing you're rebuilding right now.
It could be a habit, a practice, a version of yourself.
I will do my absolute best to read every reply.
And if this landed for you, forward it to one person who needs to hear "start again" today.
Movement & Mind — the first Cortext gathering — is coming.
Details soon. Get Excited
Big Love You all!
Let’s journey on The Human Experience together,
Cordell Weathersbee II
