Getting eight hours of sleep is a renewed focus

Eight nights ago i got 10 hours of sleep. This is big. And every night since then has been 8 or 7.5, including the last three nights clocking in at eight.

Didn’t feel like doing it

Didn’t feel like doing it.

What?

Run.

But you love running.

Not in the dark, not in the cold, and not when other responsibilities are pressuring me for attention.

In spite of those, i ran anyway.

Why?

My health is something i’m willing to protect.

Skipping a run makes it easier to skip a second run. Skipping a second makes the third skip easier too.

Deadly.

Untreated allergies makes it challenging to thrive

BFO (blinding flash of the obvious)… Staying motivated looks easy for motivated people. It’s not. Not until an object gets in, and stays in, motion. We build our reputation based on one of two things:

  1. Excuses
  2. Tenacity

i get two monthly allergy injections, one in each arm. But (a long list of excuses reasons) i stopped getting allergy injections nearly a year ago.

Discovered yesterday that my last injections were March 2015. Today is Feb 4, 2016.

Seeing Doctor Bagg today to get back up the horse.

i was so consistent for perhaps 10 years.

i thought i had licked my allergies.

Big mistake.

My allergies to plants, pollens, certain foods, as well as a few miscellaneous items like dust mites, are debilitating.

i forget this fact.

Now it’s back to weekly injections. Yes, weekly. And i need three shots instead of two – allergic to more than before.

It takes close to a year to build up to monthly maintenance shots.

Live and learn.

Eight hours of sleep two nights in a row.

Long time coming.

Must. Make. It. The. Standard. Not. The. Exception.

May the Force be strong with you

May the force (indomitable will) be with us for our entire life.

From LinkedIn last week.

 

Habits determine our destiny.

It’s that (profoundly) simple.

Bonus: Our determination creates our habits.

i think it’s obvious, but if it’s not, the “me” that beats (in the second photo) you is the devil-side of your conscience.
