Coconut cream donuts.

Passion fruit tarts.

Delicious coffee.

Chocolate croissants from a French pastry shop five minutes from where we were staying.

I went to Laos for Clint's internship.

I stayed for the food.

This is Peppermint.

She was the boss of our first house in Vientiane and deeply committed to her hunting career.

There was a frog incident.

I will not elaborate.

Strangers lent us their scooter for the summer.

Their friends handed us their house keys.

Traffic stopped in both directions while I retrieved lettuce from the middle of the road.

Laos is a community of kindness. I have the helmets to prove it.

(We left our helmets in Vientiane when we came home. We have our own in Tokyo.

It felt right to leave them for whoever borrows the scooter next.)

My body gave me the best coaching reminder I've had in a long time.

I recently taught yoga with arms that couldn't go overhead. First time in a long time I was in my students' shoes, figuring it out in real time, in front of a full class, with the body I had that morning.

The reminder: the body you have right now is the one to work with.

A bad knee, a bum shoulder, a back that has opinions. That's not a reason to stop. That's information about how to move today.

If you're a humanitarian or in a high-stress role, your body is probably last on your list. Move it up.

Meet it where it is. Work with what's available. That's what functional movement is about.

What's one way you've adjusted how you move, and kept going?

Is it your plan or someone else's?

If you work in the humanitarian sector, you know both sides of this. The one with the plan. The one being handed someone else's.

The Mission Reset is a free workbook I put together for exactly the space between those two things.

Five practices.

Free.

We saw a roof and a foundation that needed fixing.

We kept that to ourselves. Those were our ideas, not theirs.

The family chose frogs.

And then bananas.

On their own.

This is what asking instead of telling actually looks like when the stakes are real.
