At the end of the day…

I am reading The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan.

One chapter I really like discusses how at the end of the day, about an hour before bed it is IMPERATIVE to turn off the tv, the phone, tablet, etc and to truly relax, read and ideally journal.

Messing with technology before bed is all too commonplace (A study quoted in the book stated that over 90% of participants looked at their phone (scrolled) just before bed). The detriments time doing so include: brain waves activating rather than shutting down, suppressing melatonin from the blue lighted screens, and delaying the all-too-important REM sleep.

Instead, unplug, relax and journal. All it takes is to write down 3 wins from the day you had and write 3 you’d like to achieve tomorrow.

Keep them small, but true goals (“having my coffee” is probably not a lofty goal).

When you look back at your wins, think of the people you’ve lifted up and connected with as well.

The world needs connection and you play a huge role in that.

Have an awesome day!

Happy Monday
