Physical Health #1

1. My doctor wanted me to walk 60 minutes every day.

That was overwhelming and impossible. So, I walked some. I walked more. I walked longer.

First it was just 20 minutes once or twice a week. Taking photos to bribe myself.

Then it was 30 minutes. Now I do 1.5 to 2 miles three to four times a week. It used to be impossible.

2. I realized I felt better eating more protein.

I decided to subscribe to Special K protein drinks on Amazon Prime. Now I drink one every morning.

Sometimes, I forget to eat protein and then I remember. If you're plant based or have other issues, find out what works for you. I'm not a nutritionist, just giving examples.

Actionable goals with incremental progress is the key.

What can you start doing today that will move your physical health in that direction?

3. Take a 15 minute nap at 2:30 pm.

The circadian rhythm is no joke. Set the timer on your phone and lay down - floor, bed, couch, wherever.

Close your eyes. Relax. Allow yourself to just be. You don't have to sleep, you just need to rest.

If you want to level it up, drink coffee and by the time your alarm goes off the caffeine will have taken effect.
