I have long believed that attention is a muscle we can train in all directions. Whether personally or in community, the kinds of attention we pay determines the cultures we create, for better or worse. I’m here to create better ones, and I’d be happy to help you do the same.

So, on this 40th birthday of mine, I want to introduce publicly something I’ve been working on privately for some time:

Green Ideas Consulting, LLC, where we train attention for transformation

Let’s build a better world together ✊🏾

To say that Ameer Abdullah embodies brilliance is to recognize his athleticism as intelligence, the kind of intelligence that allows him - and others like him - to navigate a tumultuous world that does not always favor people who look like him, and yet feeds on their bodies at the same time...for sport and survival.

What if we began to read the embodiments of athletes as expressions of their minds? What if we listened to them as experts and applied their wisdom to our everyday lives? How might we think differently about (Black) athletes if instead of “beasts” we used words like “brilliant” to capture the real art of what they do?

I guess we’ll have to wait and see…

Full episode of #embodiedbrilliance coming soon

Friday mornings are for writing from here on out. It is the exercise I need to breathe life into this idea. So it can live.

Embodied Brilliance has spiritual implications that we have yet to talk about.

You can catch Dr. T (@blackmodernmystic ) and I talking about it (and more) on The Exchange though. Full episode and Season 1 coming soon 🌱💡 by @drgreenideas

There is something truly special happening at @welcome_to_united with the Sims Scholar Initiative, and our inaugural Sims Summit experience testifies to it so much that Dr. T (@blackmodernmystic ) and I are dropping the first season of a new podcast called The Exchange to honor what’s opening up in our midst.

Season 1 coming this fall. Stay tuned! by @drgreenideas

Imagined conversations are not only a great way to listen and work out ideas, but they are also a fun (and healthy) way to play with your own parts in relation to each other and your whole(ness) 🤲🏾

And this is not even to talk about the spiritual significance or neurophysiological benefits of self talk (and such)🤌🏾🤌🏾

Back in here after damn near two weeks due to intensive teaching and family travel.

First day backs can be tricky. On one hand, you want to push yourself - you’re itching to get after it, like Pookie from New Jack City - straight tweakin’.

Don’t fall for it, especially if you’re 40. Because on the other hand your body needs to ease back into movement, even if your inner G is eager. Push come to shove, listen to your lower back (your core 😉)- that’s why I like single leg press, it’s easier on my (surgically repaired) back. I have support with this lift but still have to engage my core, and therefore can still get after it 😈

Lighten the weight and lean into slower, controlled movements, for depth. Focus on full range of motion. Get the juices flowing again before you start going in again. Those gains ain’t going nowhere.

And fellas, don’t fall for the temptation to do chest day on Mondays either…especially if you’re 40 (or over). Start the week off with legs. This way you can develop a deeper dimension of testosterone with your freshest weekly energy ✊🏾

I’ll be checking in more like this on occasion. What can I say, I’m still an athlete at heart 🤷🏽‍♂️

P.S. if I stopped to edit this video (even by adding music to make it cool) I wouldn’t have posted it. Let the clang of weights be my music, that’s fine. And take time to stretch afterwards.

An offering
🤲🏾
