Brian Johnson (Heroic +1) presents a short motivational video prompting viewers to define and commit to three daily "love targets" to strengthen relationships and daily well-being. He connects love targets to his broader energy and work targets and shares his personal top three: (1) recommit daily to his sacred vow to his wife and family (aiming for 51 years together and close relationships with his children), (2) "eat a challenge like an energy bar"—embrace challenges enthusiastically each morning, and (3) send his wife a short love note before doing anything else that day. He encourages viewers to choose three simple, repeatable acts to stay connected and recommends using the Heroic app to track them.

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another heroic plus one. In our last plus one, we talked about bids. What's a bid? A bid is one of those requests our loved ones make that are often preceded by hey Daddy or hey honey. Science says we want to pay attention to them. I say yes and let's respond to them and use them as triggers, prompts, cues to create another micro moment of awesome with someone you love. Why hit one heroic target when you can hit two? Seriously? Let's go, Hiro Again. Target swipe. Respond a bit from someone. Target swipe. Micro moment of awesome with someone. Today I want to chat about my top three love targets. As you may recall, I said that it's really hard to have a series of really bad days when I hit my top three energy targets and or my top three work targets. It's even harder to have a really bad day and nearly impossible to have a really bad series of bad days when I hit my energy and my work and my love targets. So these are my top three love targets. Number one, recommit to my sacred vow to my wife. Number two, eat a challenge like an energy bar. Three, send my wife a love note. What are yours Again? This plus one is not about me. It's about you. What are your top three love targets? Let's take a quick look at each of mine while you think about what love targets help you stay connected to your best self. So for me, number one is recommit to my sacred vow. Then I say parentheses 50 first BFFs and Papa. As you may recall, my number one work target is recommitting to my sacred vow to helping create a world in which 51% of humanity is flourishing by the year 2051. As I get my Soul Force to 101 and strive to help a million people do the same, I make a similar commitment to my family every single morning. I want to celebrate and I am committed to doing what I need to do to celebrate being with Alexandra for 51 years. That's what the 51st means. And I want to be best friends with my kids when they're adults. That's what the BFFs means. And I want to be the papa to my kids. Kids. That's what Papa means for me. Now, Alexander and I have been together for 15 years. And every morning as I recommit to being together for 51 years, I smile and commit to being worthy. Our kids are only 10 and 5. Every morning when I recommit to being close to them for our entire lives, then imagining them having kids, I smile and commit to being worthy. Not someday, but today. It's hard to put into perspective just how powerful that 135-second-intention setting is for me. Super powerful. Highly recommend something similar if you feel so inspired. That's my first Love Target. Second Love Target Eat a challenge like an energy Bar. I want to love life and its heroic challenges so much that I eat those challenges like the energy bars they are. Which is why I commit to doing that every single morning. Fun fact, I often immediately hit that target in the morning if I had a chance to contemplate a heroic challenge in the middle of the night as I cooked a hero bar with my favorite heroes. Send Wifey a Love Note now. This third one is a newer one. I have swapped out a lot in this spot, including deep love after shutdown or or micro moments of awesome with a plus E1 plus E2 my wife and kids. It's just what it sounds like. I commit to texting Alexander a little love note. Then I send it before I do anything else that day. This is another one of those little things that takes about 30 to 60 seconds that provides huge gains. Highly recommended. Those are my top three heroic love targets I will repeat yet again. It's really hard to have a series of really bad days when I hit those three simple targets. Which is precisely why I use the Heroic app to recommit to those targets every single morning and then strive to hit those targets every single day. And again, today's one has nothing to do with me. It's all about you. What are your top three love targets? What are the three simple things you you can commit to to help you be at your best love wise? Seriously, what are they? Number one, Number two and number three. Fantastic clarity is step number one. Now is today a good day to commit to and then hit those targets? Hero awesome Day 1 All in. Let's go.
