Hey guys, Sco here! A little bit of a shorter newsletter this week as I’ve been busy with the Method RWF event which just concluded a few hours ago! I will talk a little about that below under Mindset and Community, let’s dive in!
🔥 Fitness
‘One hour of exercise is the best therapist I’ve met’ I was scrolling through my recent camera roll and saw that I had taken a picture of this quote (Bryan Johnson posted it recently). For me the gym has always been almost as much about the mind as it has been about the body and that is also why I typically start with the gym first thing in the morning as it sets the rest of my day up well. I get a lot of mental clarity from the gym, it makes me feel great, and I often get a lot of ideas or work through problems between sets. I’ve even started going to the gym again recently on my ‘rest’ days to do some light cardio (and abs!) and as an observation it makes me feel so much better than not going, less sluggish. I should probably go into this topic a bit more in a newsletter soon, but for now to keep it short - go to the gym (or generally exercise), it’s not just good for your body but also your mind!
Just to be clear I think also doing therapy is a good thing most likely (I haven’t tried it myself but plan to soon) so consider doing both!
🧠 Mindset / 🎯 Purpose
We just finished the Race to World First with Method in 3rd place a few hours behind 2nd place Echo. Congratulations to Liquid for taking the win! While the end result was not what we hoped for, we did play really well this tier against tough competition from both Liquid and Echo who didn’t show any signs of weakness. Reflecting on the tier the guild is undoubtedly the strongest it has been by far in recent years and we have a very strong foundation to build off of now. I have already been in conversation with several of the players regarding feedback of what went well, what didn’t and where we can improve, with conversations to be had with the officer team and of course our raid leader Biff over the coming days while everything is still fresh. We are absolutely committed with Method to getting the guild back up to competing for our 13th world first so it’s time to get to work to make that happen!
🤝 Community
I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who tuned in to the Method RWF streams over the past week and supported the main broadcast and our players. It is always incredible to see the support for Method in the chat and honestly helps keep the passion and ‘fire’ alive for pushing the guild forward. Thank you also to the many of you who have purchased Method merch and also interacted with our sponsors and partners during the event. We are getting close to our goal now and it truly wouldn’t be possible without the community support.
💡 Lifehack
Ever since I started Invisalign 12 months ago I noticed food was getting stuck in my teeth a lot more, so I started using a water flosser (thanks for the tip Adeline!) and it's an absolute game changer, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
