New format! The new categories are based on Dean Ornish's brilliant talk at Exponential Medicine in 2014. This is a talk everyone should listen to. For some introductory mindfulness (with data- and science-based support behind it), check out this presentation Dr. Ron Siegel gave to Google.
I'm bringing back the pass/win/rest scale, just so that I can target specific things to improve. But I will be using "IMPROVE" to indicate an area where I would like things to be better, rather than the more judgement-based "FAIL".
I'll roll with this for a while and see how it goes.
Diet: PASS (reasonable amount of fruit and vegetables, some added sugar but relatively mild doses)
Exercise: WIN! (loads of walking averaging 20k steps)
Sleep: IMPROVE (late nights--it is good I am learning at lot and really engaged, I need more sleep)
Mindfulness: WIN! (using mindfulness to work though stress, and it is working excellently)
Love and Gratitude: WIN! (spent weekend with friends and friends of friends, looking forward to family visit in early September)
This weekend Mark and Karen are visiting from Victoria, and I went to a barbeque with them in addition to the usual Sunday noodles. I also saw some former co-workers on Friday, walked around for a bit with Andrew, and saw Jim and two of his brothers today.
My main goal right now is to get some sleep. No more stimulating internet videos late at night. Save them for the morning.
