Barbell Shrugged - Monday Morning Reflections - w/ Dr. Sean Pastuch - Active Life Radio #30

Episode Date: January 31, 2020

How often do you take the time to tell those around you that you appreciate them?   If you are a business owner, have you given personal shout-outs, by name, to those employees who have made a positive impact this week?   If you have friends, family and relationships, have you made the simple gesture to tell someone that they are important to you today?   After the shocking news from this weekend that Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi and 7 others lost their lives in a tragic helicopter accident we’re taking a step back to be thankful. So, Thank YOU for listening and following along.    In this episode, Dr. Sean goes over his Monday Email that he sends the ActiveLife staff every week as we take a moment to pause and reflect.

What I want to talk about today is the current events of last weekend and how it affected me and how I responded with an email to my staff

because I think that this is something that anybody out there could find value in thinking about. This weekend, Kobe Bryant and his daughter and seven other people died in a helicopter crash. Now, I don't know Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant doesn't know me. I don't know his daughter, and the other seven people on that flight have no idea who I am. So why did it affect me at all that a stranger who I used to watch play basketball has died? And as I thought about it, what I came to realize was that the whole thing, the whole incidence of it, first and foremost, you feel like you know that person because you've watched them grow and play sports and evolve over the last 20 years.

That's the first thing is that you feel like somebody of that status of those means in that health you just don't see that coming and what I want to remind you guys is that we never know when it's coming for us

if Kobe Bryant in all of his glory We never know when it's coming for us. If Kobe Bryant, in all of his glory, can die on a Sunday, so can we. So can you. So can I. And when that started to kind of sink in, as I heard the news on Sunday, it was almost like, man, I know that guy. I can't believe he died.

I don't know that guy, though. But it's because you have the familiarity with him that it becomes a bigger deal, right? If it was nine people died in a helicopter crash, you'd be like, oh, that's sad. And you go on with your day. When it's somebody who you feel like you know, it's different. Gives you an opportunity to reflect a little bit. So what I did this morning, every Monday morning, I'm recording this on Monday, 27th. Every Monday morning, I send an email to my staff talking to them about the successes that we had last week. Who did something outstanding?

I named them by name. What we need to do if we're going to be successful going forward. Send that email every Monday. And this Monday, I wanted to make absolutely clear to my team that the events of this past weekend helped me to understand that sometimes all of us, myself in particular, we need to slow down we need to appreciate what we have who's in our life what our health is we need to appreciate those things so I messaged my team this morning

and let them know I want to let you guys know that as much as you work for active life, active life works for you. If we do our job well as a company, because you're a part of this company, everything in your life has an opportunity to be better. And because everything in your life has an opportunity to be better, your contribution to this company will be better. And the impact that this company can have on the world will be better. and all of that opportunity starts with us slowing down from time to time to appreciate who and what we have in our lives.

I don't know you guys. Most of you guys probably don't know me. And with this being my last show on this network, I wanted to make sure that it was more about us as people and how we're the same than it is about how any people are any different from one another. I wanted to stop for a moment and instead of focusing on where you want to go, like all the other shows on this episode do, I wanted to focus on where you're at, what that means, what that took, who's around you, how did you get there?

It could all be gone today. Today. So this is my plea to you hug the people who you love tell the people who you love that you love them tell the people who you appreciate that you appreciate them send a random text to somebody today telling them how much you appreciate them and call somebody else out of the blue just to thank them.

If you have kids, hug them a little bit longer. If you're married, let your spouse know how much you appreciate them and why. That's all. Keeping it short for you guys today.
