1. A habit I am working on… I’ve written about the importance of getting sunlight first thing in the morning to reset your circadian cycle to ensure better sleep. Well, after listening to neuroscientist, Andrew Huberman, again this week, I am committing to doing this more often. He said it’s the MOST important thing he…
1. Nature scene I saw this morning… Our home gym is on the second floor, with the entire back wall being windows which allows us to look out over the lake that we live on. It definitely makes working out easier. And it’s like watching a National Geographic special every day… the wildlife behavior and…
1. Book I just finished (and am strongly recommending)… I just finished Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, by Oliver Burkeman. (Click here for the Amazon link.) I have been very critical of my use of time, and it turns out, the approach and philosophy I have been taking has been futile. I have…
1. Failure I have to admit… I stated in a past Friday’s Findings that I was going to have my book completed by my 50th birthday. Well… Wednesday was my birthday… and… no book. Damn! I failed to accomplish that goal. My son, Kyle, reminded us that I have been talking about writing this book…
1. Image that caught my attention (and thoughts) this week… This was a great post that someone shared with Lana (Thanks, Kelly W.!). It was a screenshot, so I can’t give credit to whomever created it. I REALLY, REALLY like it. It says A LOT! Check it out… and think about it for a bit.…
1. Fun thing that happened this week… I own a 1940 Ford Coupe. It was a gift I gave my dad for his 60th birthday (Read next week’s blog for full details on that!). When he passed away, it became mine. I partnered up with a good friend, Ray Tartabini (who knows more about cars…
1. Great image I saw this week… This one pretty much sums it up. At a time when our relationship with time is getting more and more screwed up, we have to remember that being present will slow time down and help us to appreciate life a whole lot more. I believe this is one…
1. Series we just finished (and loved!)… Sam Elliot, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill star in the new series, 1883. “The series follows the post-Civil war generation of the Dutton family as they leave Tennessee, journey to Fort Worth, Texas, and join a European immigrant wagon train undertaking the arduous journey west to Oregon, before settling in Montana to establish what would eventually become…
1. Something I am rethinking now… On most days, I take a 10-15 minute nap. I fought it for years, thinking I shouldn’t need to, but it recharges me, clears my head, and boosts my mood. After feeling bad about taking these short snoozes, I now know that the science is clear how helpful and…
1. Emotions I was hit with this week… There were two recurring emotions I kept feeling this week… empathy and gratitude. Last Saturday, at a wrestling tournament, with my hand on my chest and listening to the National Anthem, I couldn’t help but think that, as we were about to start a day full of…
