I know Wednesday is usually when I send out a Love Letter but I wanted to send this one out today.
At the risk of wading into an aspect of your life that is largely none of my business, I want to take a second to reach out to you about the current social/ political climate that we find ourselves in. Today’s election will be historically significant, highly charged, and almost certainly, stress-inducing for many, many Americans, regardless of political affiliation or the actual election results. Your vote is none of my business, but your stress and cortisol levels ABSOLUTELY are my business. Literally.
I want to reassure you that we at CrossFit Be Someone are absolutely here to help you deal with whatever emotions you may be feeling as a result of whatever happens in the election. If you need to stay home and process how you feel, or if you need to come in and take out anger on the barbell, or if you need to just get away from the news cycle for an hour and ugly-cry on the rower in the corner, WE GOT YOU! Just reach out to me here or on my cell and let me know what you need most.
I could close with any number of silly metaphors about workouts being analogous to tough times but I’m not going to. I want to be serious for a second to tell you I care about you and your mental health and to acknowledge that today and tomorrow could be a difficult day for you.
Take care of yourself.
Let me know how I can help take care of you.
Remember that we love you. Really, we do.
Respectfully,
Josh Melendez
