Happy Friday!!!
Hope you’ve been having a most excellent week :-)
Aside from spending a fair amount of time troubleshooting some computer issues, mine’s been pretty good.
Honestly, if those are the kinds of problems one faces in life, things could definitely worse.
Work has been a bit slow, which has its advantages and disadvantages.
I’ve still been slacking on my pre-bed routine.
Every evening I have the intention of getting my act together and getting to bed at my normal time.
However, I’ve consistently tend found an excuse to stay up just a bit later (often related to the aforementioned computer issues).
Regardless, I haven’t been pushing things too much later, so I’m doing alright.
Training and diet have been going pretty well, so nothing really to report on that front.
I’m still training at home, even though I’d been considering starting to hit a gym again.
The convenience factor is hard to give up.
Therapy is still going well, and this week we talked mainly about some realizations I’ve had lately about just how freaking fortunate I am with life.
I’ve been feeling tremendous gratitude and peace, and hope that these feelings continue.
This weekend I’m hoping to finish getting all my computer issues resolved, spend some time outside, read, write, grab some beers, and just relax.
Whatever you get into this weekend, I hope it fills your cup.
I appreciate you.
Here are this week's most excellent resources for a most excellent life…
“The two studies reported in this article demonstrate that online interdisciplinary mental wellbeing interventions that combine strategies from positive psychology and lifestyle medicine, can increase flourishing.”
“Resistance and aerobic training improves both quality of sleep and quality of life. But resistance training has better effect on sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency and sleep duration. As both the training has beneficial effects on sleep quality and quality of life. So, either form of training can be used according to the individuals’ functional and medical status to improve sleep quality.”
I’ll leave you with this...
Living a life of discipline has its advantages.
Sometimes, though, we cling to constraints that no longer serve us.
Our strategy then detracts from, rather than contributes to, our quality of life.
When we do this, we face a difficult question:
Is this discipline or rigidity?
You've got this.
