2026 Pillars

These pillars organize the year. If something matters but doesn't belong to a pillar, it probably isn't actually core.

Pillar 1: Self — dangerous and durable

This pillar is about energy, vitality, strength, beginnerhood, and identity in the body.

Includes

  • Net Zero Days
  • liver reset
  • foiling
  • sustainable physical pursuits
  • receiving practice
  • deliberate beginnerhood

Standard

I don't train to be healthy. I train to be someone.

Pillar 2: Family — felt presence

If it costs truth, it's too expensive.
