Forgiveness is not about Justice
Living This Life Well
In part 2 of this week's focus on powerful F-words we walk through an exercise - an exercise that works for me. I hope that it works for you. In the previous episode, I spoke how this F-word is about the reward. The reward of freedom - the rewards of breaking free from the weight of the baggage we are carrying around with us.

The most important factors for improving your sleep
Living This Life Well
The lists regarding sleep hygiene are numerous but many skip the most important factors. Here I outline 2 of the biggest most impactful levers you can pull for improving the quality of your sleep. This is about body clocks and circadian rhythm and temperature control. Think on these things and join me on Friday where we discuss nutrition and supplements and their pros and cons around sleep.
info_outlineWe all compare ourselves to others. It is how we evaluate and how we learn to define ourselves. This can be good and even necessary but when does comparison become jealousy and defeating - a negative force?
Being aware of how comparison is serving you or hurting you can help. Hopefully, comparison can ignite your desire to be better today than you were yesterday.
