Day 6: Don’t switch it up. Double down.

You’ve made moves this week. You showed up. Said real things. Started real plans. You probably even surprised yourself.

Today’s not about learning something new. It’s about doing what you’ve already done again. But with more intent.

Because this isn’t about sending a few good texts. It’s about building a new rhythm. That’s it.

🏀 Today’s Move: Pick someone from earlier this week and take it one level deeper.

Here’s exactly how:

👋 If you sent a “thinking of you” text: Follow up with another photo, meme, or memory. Say:

“Can’t believe we dressed like that.” “Lucky there was no social media back then.” “You’re still the only one who thought this was a good idea — and I respect that.”

📅 If you started a plan: Lock it in. No more vague vibes. Try:

“Still good for Thursday? I already hired a sitter.” “I got spousal buy-in and everything. Don’t make me waste it.” “I literally got a haircut for this. We’re doing it.”

🧠 If you said something real: Text:

“Still thinking about what you said...genuinely helpful.” “I need your chill energy this week. I’m one email from rage-quitting.” “Honestly, I just needed a delulu pump-up and you delivered.”

📞 Feeling bold? Make the call. Say:

“You around for a quick catch-up call? I promise it’s not a FaceTime.” Or don’t say anything. Leave a hilarious voicemail. You’ll both remember it.

Why this works: This isn’t Day 1 energy anymore. This is what maintenance looks like. This is how it sticks.

Feeling this hit different today? I wrote more about this...and yeah, it kind of blew up. Check the post: ​https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ5CCEKRKi3/​ (Warning: it might change how you think about burnout + connection.)

One more day to go. But hopefully you’ve realized: This was never a “challenge.” Just a shift in how you show up. And it’s working. – Matt, The Friendship Guy 👊
