I have come across some bat shit crazy people in my life and what I have realized is that I do have an inner radar that goes off when I first meet these sort of people.  Something about what they say, how they say it just raises a flag in my head and for the most part, after a while of being around them, I am usually dead on right about them. I have a few observations about similarities I have discovered in these sort of people:

• They usually have low self esteem and are compensating for it by treating others like shit.
• They are disrespectful in a mean, spiteful way
• They have no idea to handle uncomfortable situations maturely and head on.
• They blame everyone else
• They are easily swayed and influenced by the words of others just like them

What I have decided moving forward is that when my radar goes off  I will consciously steer myself clear of the person instead of allowing myself to be a part of their scenario.  I dont enjoy participating in squabbles and irrational reactions to events. It’s not fun and I am better than that.  I expect more of myself and have control over how things play out.  I live a great life – I have my family, food on the table, more stuff than I could ever need and have worked hard to have true joy in my life.  Allowing crazy ass people to take up space in my mind is bat shit crazy –and it will stop, today. 

Instead of a workout, I coached some great athletes this AM on a workout called Fractured Fran. It’s like Fran but broken up into five rounds.

Tonight is the finale of the Whole Life Challenge for the CrossFit Athletes —  it’s been a long eight weeks for many of them but I have seen some real transformations!! So happy that I get to help people change their lives for the better. That is an awesome feeling —
