And The Week Begins ...

This is a full week -- probably one of the fullest since the quarantine started.  I'm not complaining ... well, only a little since EVERY SINGLE MORNING is RUSHED.  I need to do some problem solving.  I tried the kind of problem solving that said nothing booked for morning, but that isn't working and isn't realistic. I need to move some of my morning stuff to later -- that god forsaken gap in the afternoon of nothing land.

I listened to a podcast with Jay Shetty (it was Rachel Hollis who interviewed him -- not a fan of hers anymore, but I still subscribe to her podcast and it popped up).  Anyway ... he talked about habits and how TIME is a powerful factor in habit consistency (as well as sight, sound, smell, etc).  I never gave TIME a lot of thought, but he's right.  TIME of DAY is a big force in my routine -- good and bad.  That's why moving my morning routine later is a big deal.  That's why I want to eat/drink wine during the witching hours.  It's interesting knowledge and can help with both good and bad routines.  I knew I LIKED doing certain things at certain times, but never it that much value.  It was a good podcast.  Lots of talk about WHERE you do certain things too -- giving energy to specific spaces can help form routines.  Worth a listen.

What's up early this morning is WINDOW WASHERS.  Outside only, but this will be good.  Our windows are filthy.  

I started The Storyteller's Secret (Sejal Badani) and it's good.  The writing draws you into the story immediately.  Happy about this read and my virtual book club.

I watched Speed Cubers on Netflix.  40 minute documentary about Rubik's Cube speed tournaments, but particularly about a friendship between the top two contenders.  The younger man has autism and it's a great story about how he's overcoming obstacles.  And, wow, these peeps are incredible at solving -- makes me want to learn to do it once LOL.  I could never get more than one side when I was younger.  I wonder if I could do better now ...

I'm trying to get my back and heel fixed enough for some bigger workouts and more consistent workouts, but both are fighting me hard.  I have no idea why my muscle-skeletal system is so wonky.  I'm hoping for a treadmill interval workout today, but I might need a rest day instead.  I'll see how I feel once I get moving around more.

Hope you find some HAPPY in your day -- I'll be looking too.  Stay well.  Later gators.
