Running on empty

Running on empty.

Three hours of sleep the other night.

And today is the first day back in the gym after an 11-day absence.

No shortage of exercise in those 11 days, just no gym in Glacier National Park.

Greater as a whole

Adventist Health System
A wall for selfies to use on social media.

 

We are greater as a whole at work.

We are greater as a whole with mind, body, spirit, money, and hq.

We are greater as a whole when we floss as well as brush.

Yes, some nights i have to muster an extra-ordinary motivation (because the tank is on empty) to floss.

What’s my secret?

How gross it feels to allow garbage (decaying food particles) in my mouth overnight. And how scary it is to know that skipping one night makes skipping a second night far too easy.

Don’t even get me started on core

Excercise, nutrition, and rest.

Most of us know about, and attempt to make a habit of, the first two.

But rest, no.

We use coffee, a busy schedule, and easy (instant) access to entertainment on a screen to completely neglect a decent sleep regiment.

And because of this, i really don’t want to get started on taking care of our core.

But…

But if you want to focus on your core, it may eliminate or reduce the habit of daily medication in your life’s second-half.

“Feeling like it” has its ups and downs

Disney University speakers
Couple days ago biking home from Magic Kingdom.

 

“Feeling like it” has its ups and downs.

Feeling like what?

Flossing.

Still recovering for a week of inadequate sleep due to a busy (and amazing) schedule.

Flossing before bed (after dinner) catches your energy level at the lowest of the day.

So tempting.

To what?

To skip a night.

Hitting snooze is a symptom

iPhone clock
Yikes.

 

Hitting snooze is a symptom.

For what?

Not getting enough sleep.

Even after eight hours last night, this morning i hit snooze three times.

An extra 27 minutes of sleeping – nine minutes per snooze.

i never do this, even though i spent from my 18th birthday to my 40th birthday doing it daily.

Why this morning?

For seven nights in Glacier National Park last week, i averaged six hours of sleep, including the final night getting only 4.5 hours.
