Little rest for the driven?

Time for lights out. Above, this was the last photo i took on the final night of The Osborne Dancing Spectacle of Lights.

 

Lights out.

i really need to get a grip on my sleeping habits. For two or three months now it’s been challenging (nearly nonexistent) to get eight hours per night.

Finding the need to take a mid-day nap of anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour; whatever my work load allows.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Squeezing in a fourth teeth cleaning this morning

After dentist, down the hall for eye measurements, then a meeting with a potential client.

 

Squeezing in a fourth teeth cleaning this morning.

Typical healthcare insurance pays for two cleanings per year. For years, i’ve paid out of pocket for a third.

Decided two days ago, with only 12 days until Christmas, to make 2015 the first year with two out of pocket cleanings (four total).

Why?

Why not may be an even better question. Teeth are such a huge asset. If we took better care of them, would they last longer?

Physical health expands beyond diet, exercise, and rest.

Pain is your body’s way of speaking to you

Lower right abdominal pain
That’s in the vicinity of the pain area.

 

Lower right abdominal pain
Maybe?

 

Pain is your body’s way of speaking to you. While the above are all possibilities, so is a simple muscle strain. So i’m backing off the core exercises to see if rest is the remedy.

Sleep is an asset

We see what we want to see. Not seeing the obvious may mean we don’t want to.

 

Sleep is an asset.

So even though yesterday was a rest day, meaning no run or gym, there can still be active accomplishments.

As simple as actively ensuring we get our optimal rest. It varies for each of us. Mine is eight hours.

It hasn’t happened in several days, but last night i got 7.5 hours.

Planned on not running or going to the gym today

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Back in the day, maybe 2005. i often didn’t run because of grueling travel.

 

Planned on not running or going to the gym today.

Planned on it.

This softened the blow, because missing it today is seen as a deliberate-extra-bonus rest day, versus, feeling like i’m falling behind.
