YouTube Comment:

  • COL635: LTAS: Sex Starvation: Oan R. – “I feel like there should be a thing at the beginning differentiating this from starvation sex. Not a very well known kink. But it is a thing.”
  • COL636: LoR: Love Languages: Oan R. – “My thoughts on different things with this kind of matches Gary’s and Damon’s. I usually like gifts if it’s something I need or ask for. And as for touch and interaction, I generally am more receptive if it’s someone I know and have talked to and traded experiences with.” “The thing I find interesting is just the different places “5 Love Languages” has been applied.” “I actually didn’t know about parallel play, so thanks for that.”

Voicemail

  • 203 area code – SW Connecticut: “No, did you know if you whisper to Alexa, she whispers back? I learned this in the creepiest way possible. I was just saying something and whispering and then Alexa just whispered out of nowhere. And I was like ‘who the fuck is that?’ big man.”

COL632: LoR: Goals & Accountability

Leave a comment

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys are joined once again by Edward Angelini-Cooke to continue our Landscape of Relationships series. In this episode, the guys come together in the new year to discuss goals and accountability. As many begin each year making new year’s resolutions that they often never keep,  listen in as Ed and the cubs break down the reasons why this may be a regular occurrence. From creating your goal roadmap to making yourself accountable for the roads you take, listen in as the guys give yet another perspective on the wandering journey of relationship building.

Show Topic

Landscape of Relationships: Goals & Accountability

New Years resolutions

The Hobbit and LOTR “The Road Goes Ever On”

The Road goes ever on and on,

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.

  • Gotta know what “The Road” or our values are.  

Values List 

Four Domains 

  • Work/Education 
  • Relationships
  • Leisure 
  • Personal Health and Wellness 

Translating Values into Goals – “Be a mapmaker”

  • Chose three guiding values 
  • SMART goals (Specific, Meaningful, Adaptive, Realistic, Timely)
  • Immediate (24 hours), Short Term, Medium-Term goals, Long-Term goals
  • Living Goals vs Dead Person Goals
  • Make sure you are heading in the right direction.  Ex. downhill skiing
  • Expected barriers 

Accountability 

  • We are ultimately responsible for our actions 
  • We get to be accountable to the goals we set for ourselves and the map that we make.
  • Feelings, situations, emotions, urges, memories are going to happen.  Make sure you have the needed resources.
  • Be mindful of avoidance and unhelpful sticky thought patterns
  • Be willing to address unhelpful patterns
  • Remember: you can always change your course, but at what and whose expense?  Honor your values and your commitments 
  • Let someone know your goals and work towards shared accountability.
  • Feeling guilty?  Good. You have values. 
  • Remember, not all those who wander are lost. Keep going.  
  • Progress is not always a straight line.

  • COL629: It’s the Holiday Season – Oan. R.: The day wasn’t just chosen. Christmas, like a lot of other Christian holidays, appropriates a lot of things from pagan rituals and beliefs most likely because they wanted to cater the holiday to encompass other’s rituals (stopping now because I really don’t want to get anybody in trouble with the Christian’s)

This is a great article on using yourself as a reference point to assess your friendships with others. (If we want honesty from others we have to make sure we are honest.)

  • Advice my Mom gave me growing up that I didn’t always take, “stick with the winners.”  I have adapted it to, “Stay close to the ones who know where they are headed.” I don’t like the winners/losers dichotomy, but it has the same idea. 
  • Like D&D, be mindful about who you party with.
