I'm doing it! Started the cold shower technique daily. I started with a bit cool and working my way up adding a bit more cold water every week. It's not that bad actually and definately gives you that dopamine rush. Thank you Jim for the tip

Here's my check-in for 2026-10-10: How I feel: Happiness 8/10, Energy 7/10, Focus 8/10, Calmness 8/10, Sleep Quality 6/10, Motivation 8/10 What I did: Nap, Stayed Hydrated, Breathwork, Healthy Eating, No Alcohol, No Late Caffeine, Ate Vegetables, Home Cooked Meal, Prayer, Learning, Online Course, Quality Time, Social Event, Active Listening Ended up taking a nap yesterday afternoon. Then got ready to go to my mom's for my birthday dinner. As I was getting ready, received a message from one of the broker managers that yesterday was the last day to do the certification to be able to sell and continue receiving commissions. This was a little stressful, but I decided if I didn't get it finished in time, then it wasn't meant to be. Maybe I should just stop doing Medicare altogether. Put it aside mentally so I could enjoy spending time with my mom, husband, and younger son. Had a very nice dinner with Mom, shared my prayer app with her through the Family & Friends program because I can share with up to 5 people. Showed her how it works and showed her the three games that are on the app, too. It was a lovely evening. Didn't get home until 11:15 pm and had to get to work on the certification. I did not get it finished before midnight, but it did let me finish and it appears that it is considered complete, but I will have to check on that today or possibly Monday. Either way, I did everything that I could do, so that is that. I do feel more motivated to see about completing the other certifications today, if they are still available. No real morning sun today because it's pretty hazy out today. Not much real sunshine. I still may go sit out on the deck/porch for a bit this morning anyway. The fresh air is always nice. Did do my breathwork today. Not sure how many days in a row that is. Hope to get lots accomplished today. I did ask if the grandkids could stay over this weekend, but my son still didn't know as of last evening if they could or not, so I'm going on the assumption that they aren't, and if they are able to come over, that will be a wonderful surprise. He did call me to wish me a happy birthday last evening while I was at my mom's which he hasn't done in a few years. Sometimes he sends me a text, sometimes not, for my birthday. I suspect he called because he was on his way home from my granddaughter's cross country practice and she wanted to call. She asked me if she could sing a song to me and I told her sure. She sang the alphabet in Spanish. LOL She tried to tell me it was happy birthday in Spanish, but she had already sung the Spanish alphabet to me the previous week after her older stepsister taught it to her. She's funny!

📅 Daily Check-in - October 8, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Right now, I feel exhausted and drained. I could blame some of it on poor sleep, which definitely didn't help, but today has just been…not good. An elderly friend of ours went through something absolutely devastating today involving a family member and law enforcement. I knew while it was unfolding that it probably wasn't going to end well, but I kept hoping I was wrong. I reached out and offered to get her away from the situation or bring her somewhere safe where she wouldn't have to sit there waiting and watching. She wanted to stay nearby until she knew how it ended. Unfortunately, it ended in the worst possible way. There really isn't anything useful I can add to that. It was horrible, and my heart hurts for her. Then, because apparently today hadn't met its daily drama quota yet, family financial stuff showed up. I've been trying to establish a boundary where I am no longer the person who automatically gets put in the middle whenever somebody needs money transferred, something fixed, something arranged, or somebody rescued. I said no. Apparently “no” is a surprisingly complicated word. 🤦‍♂️ A decision somebody else made then somehow became my fault, and before long I was getting messages about why I wasn't helping. That's the part that gets me. I don't mind helping people. I actually like helping people. But there is a difference between helping someone and becoming the permanent mechanism through which everyone else's problems get solved. And I am finally starting to recognize that difference. So I held the boundary. Was I irritated? Yep. Did I probably say some things in my head that would not qualify for the Harmony Tree? Also yep. 😂 But I did not fix it. On top of all of that, I've also been dealing with some physical symptoms lately that I need to get checked out, so I contacted the doctor's office and have a follow-up scheduled. Eventful day. Unusual day. Emotionally exhausting day. And meanwhile, life around the house is continuing like normal, which somehow makes everything feel even stranger.

Can someone give me the direct link or directions on how to get to that astrology thing that Jim talked about? I have watched astrology reports for the last six months or so. Uncannily, I experience what the astrologists describe. Today, the 10-10-10 portal is a day of completion. It is enhanced by the new moon. So if someone can help me out and tell me where that link is or share that link, I would be really awesome. And I would appreciate it. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CCzMbH5H4/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1MS1EaNEJ3/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Kinda long as per usual. Kinda a mishmash of check-in + share of Harmony AI personal experiences + opinion 1️⃣ 💭 Reflection: "Today, is Saturday. October 10, 2026 here in Tampa, Florida. It is almost 10:30am, and I am loving all of the new updates to Harmony AI!🥰 Even with just this check-in using the microphone feature and being able to see my words transcribed as I speak is so cool🤩 I used to use my iPhone's talk to text feature but now it looks like I will switch to this way now🥳 Unfortunately, my daughter is still sick today. She spit out her children’s cough & cold medicine last night and again this morning because it happens to be cherry flavored (she only likes grape 🍇 so it’s probably my fault, lol 😆). I tried mixing it with grape juice but it was still a no-go😓 (she’s autistic so taking medication has always been a challenge, but to be fair, she has made a ton of progress in this area and many other areas💖). I have reassured myself that, despite that, all is well, and that today is another rest day for her💞 2️⃣ 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Yesterday was a really lovely day despite my daughter being sick and having to miss school, and having to rearrange my own day. I was still able to attend my biweekly therapy session since it’s telehealth. My therapist (relatively new but we’ve built a good rapport since I started with her in July 2026) had asked me a question and I suppose something about my answer and how I answered it prompted her to ask me if I had ever started the diagnostic process for autism myself. I said that my psychiatrist had told me to let her know whenever I was ready to pursue that process and she could provide me the appropriate referral. I believe I am ready now. Getting properly assessed and diagnosed for ADHD back in January 2025, along with eventually finding ADHD Harmony in December 2025 was such a significant piece of the puzzle 🧩 for my life and learning about myself. 3️⃣ 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Through first starting to use Harmony AI back at the beginning of Cohort 2 in March 2026, I had meticulously and exhaustively filled out my user profile with the reasoning of, “I need this to work, so here’s everything you should know about me,” and then another Cohort 2 member (@Corinne Clements!😊) shared that she had tried a prompt with Sage (now known as Jim’s AI Twin).
