Getting Grounded Morning

The runsheet

1. 1

   

   Move and think

   Cardio training

   Brad runs most mornings and writes about it as thinking time, not training time. Thirty minutes of steady aerobic effort with no podcast on, no metrics to chase. The point is the cadence and the space it can give you.

2. Bearmore’s thoughts on doing cardio training before open awareness

   This works well because post-cardio clarity lets you rest in spacious attention without fidgeting or nodding off.

   Quiet meditation

   Open awareness

   His groundedness work names presence as a daily practice rather than a state. Fifteen minutes sitting with no agenda, no productivity attached. The aim is the practice, not what comes up during it.

3. Bearmore’s thoughts on doing open awareness before journaling

   This works well because open awareness creates room for thoughts to arrive without forcing them, and writing catches what's surfaced.

   Journaling

   Brad has written about journalling as the cleanest tool for self-knowledge, the second of his groundedness principles. Fifteen minutes putting down what the run and the meditation brought up.

4. Bearmore’s thoughts on doing journaling before intention setting

   This is an excellent pairing because writing can help clarify what you want, so your intentions may feel more specific and real.

   Two things

   Intention setting

   Brad's framing on intention is shorter than most. Pick the two or three things today actually needs, not the ten you wish it did. Patience as a practice means letting the rest wait until tomorrow.
