Don’t Listen to Your Brain — Listen to Your Body


Hey you,

Welcome back to The Sunday Reset

This week was one of those weeks that reminded me what momentum actually feels like.

The runs, the family moments, the breakthroughs in the car, the SAVERS clarity, the winter arc setup… everything started clicking in a way that made me excited for what’s coming.

And with December basically knocking at the door, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

Let’s dive in.

One Thing to Think About This Week

This week reminded me of a simple truth: your body can surprise you when your brain is doubting everything. Watching Madison run the entire 5-mile Turkey Trot — after barely running in months — at faster paces than she trained at… unreal. Especially on those hills. And she felt good. It reminded me of my own 30 days of running — the mornings I thought “Nope, not today,” but still laced up. And somehow my body handled it better than the thoughts in my head ever predicted.

If you needed a nudge today: don’t trust every thought, but trust the part of you that’s built for more.

Celebrate Your Wins

  • Completed my 30 Days of Running — wrapped up with the Turkey Trot
  • Thanksgiving morning 5-mile run with the family
  • Built the entire Winter Arc system and started prepping implementation
  • Madison crushed her longest run ever and found her runner spark again

Productivity Hack of the Week

Set up a Fail-Proof Morning Hour. This week I realized most of my wasted time comes from switching tasks: finding a journal, deciding what meditation to play, choosing a workout, hunting for affirmations… it adds up. So I laid out my SAVERS like a runway: Silence → chosen meditation ready to tap; Affirmations → prompts ready; Visualization → a simple daily intention prompt; Exercise → BODi or Peloton queued up; Read → books ready on my desk; Scribe → journal ready to go.

When there are no decisions, momentum becomes automatic.

What I’m Into This Week

  • Book: The Miracle Morning — This book changed my life so i’m revisiting it with new energy and drive.
  • Journal - Writing in a journal and processing thoughts, tasks, habits is what makes me a better human
  • Youtube: The Miracle Morning Movie - This is so powerful. If you’re looking for a boost to kickstart a new morning routine with a mission, watch this.

Life Snapshot

Family Moments: Thanksgiving Turkey Trot with Madison, Ledger in his little beanie, friends around us and hot-tub mimosas after. Dinner, football and the kind of slow, cozy day that just felt good. Minus the Chiefs losing to the Cowboys.

Personal Wins: Fully built my Winter Arc — both digital and on paper. Started drafting a “big ass calendar” for 2026 with trips, birthdays, and fitness events mapped out.

Real-Life Relatability: I wasted about 90 minutes every morning lying in bed watching dreams unfold like I’m in a sci-fi movie… except I’m not even in the cast. December mornings are officially reclaimed.

One Last Thing

If there’s one message I’m taking into this week, it’s this: you’re always one action away from feeling like yourself again. Not one plan. Not one perfect routine. One action. Your Winter Arc doesn’t need to be flawless — mine won’t be — but it will be intentional, and that’s what creates momentum.

Fun P.S.

We hit our favorite food truck lot after my run, and Ledger was bundled up in full toddler winter gear… meanwhile I was casually running on nothing but a single Rice Krispy Treat. Elite? Questionable? Both. I devoured a yummy protein smoothie and a couple breakfast tacos to revoer.

Closing

If you’re building your own Winter Arc, reply with “I’m in.” I’ll send you the Notion template, checklist, and quick-start setup so you’re ready for December. (Or just click the link but you can still reply to this email because I love hearing from you.

Hey you, This week was a mixed bag of early mornings, toddler chaos, tiny notebooks, and big visualizations — and I loved it. It felt like the version of me I’ve been trying to step back into. The one who shows up, even if it’s imperfect. The one who keeps choosing progress, even when Ledger decides dumbbells are the enemy. Let’s get into it.
