SLEEP

 

“Early to bed, early to rise makes a [wo]

man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

                                        Benjamin Franklin

Sleep is so important not only for our body to re-charge, to recover,

to reboot our mood, to mend, to heal, to dream, to follow our body’s

clock, our circadian rhythm and our 24-hour journey around the sun.

Own the morning, get up (do not look at your phone), exercise, make

sure to watch the sunrise. Get outside. That morning sunrise is in tune

with your body’s natural rhythm. The morning light and exercise will

help your bodies release of cortisol, not only giving you energy for your

day but triggering your body’s clock to about 12-14 hours later release

melatonin, to make you sleepy to go to bed. Oh, and be sure to watch

that beautiful sunset. The true measure of a good life is a good night’s

sleep, with the person you love sleeping next to you, and a good poop

in the morning when you wake up. Your body, brain, microbiome (gut)

and spirit are in sync, in accord with nature, and if you’re sleeping and

pooping well, you must be doing everything else right during the day,

like, exercising, working hard, getting outside and eating well……

THINGS WE DO NOT NEED

“A lot of people spend good hard earned money buying

things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like.”

                                        Will Rogers

Less can be more. The more stuff you own the more headaches you

have. Ask yourself, is this essential? Why do I need or desire this? We

must live for ourselves, not other people. Who cares what other people

think of how we dress or what car we drive? If we dress a certain way

because we like it, it makes us feel good or feel good about ourselves,

then that is the reason to do it. Not to try to impress other people.

Who cares? Want what you want, not what somebody else wants or

because other people will be “impressed.” Look in your closet at the

last time you wore certain clothes. Same applies to everything in life.

Put the money in investments for future use rather than buying stuff

just to impress other people we may never see again anyway.

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER:   “It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you’ve got.”                                                   Sheryl Crow If only I had...

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER

 

“It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you’ve got.”

                                        Sheryl Crow

If only I had this, or if only I had that. Ambition can be a good thing.

Desire can be a good thing. Ambition and desire can lead us to where

we want to go, assuming we know where we want to go and that is

where we want to be. These things can also be a distraction or an

illusion. I will be happy if ..., I will be satisfied if... This conditional

happiness can be a trap. Not to be confused with legitimate goals.

The key is to love the process, love the journey, be happy in the

present and the path we are on. If we are always chasing rainbows

or walking towards horizons we will never get to or any closer to, we

will lose sight of the beauty we are standing in the middle of. The

grass is always greener where you water it. What we are surrounded

with. It is like wanting what you cannot have, that forbidden fruit, it

is because we can’t have it that we want it. We do not really need it.

We already got it. It is not about wanting what you cannot have, but

rather wanting what you already got and being thankful and grateful

for what we do have. Chasing the most can be rewarding if we love

the chase, but not if we are only doing the chasing because we want

the more, the greener grass.

ENOUGH

 

“I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.”

                                        Walt Whitman

How much is enough? When is enough? Be happy with what you

have. Do not be envious of what someone else has or what you do

not have. We may just find ourselves spending our whole lives chasing

“money” much to the detriment of our health and family. Then we

find ourselves spending our “money” trying to get back our health and

our family. How do we define enough? Because our house is paid

for, car is paid off, bank account is full, kid’s college will be paid and

there may even be $1,000,000 in the bank. Now what? If we define

enough by money, we may never have enough. But just as we are

not defined by what other people think we are, if we define enough

by always striving to serve and help other people, to make our world

a better place, then there is never enough. There is always someone

who can benefit from our help. Do it for the right reasons- purposes.

Help because that is what we do. Elevate others. Make our world a

better place for you being here.
