Thanks for the reminder, I haven't done that for a while either. I used to play music loud and sing along while doing dishes, now they just go in the dishwasher and I push a button. Sometimes I think we were better off when we didn't have so many "conveniences" 😁

Thanks Jim for creating this challenge and community, I wish I'd got on board sooner and been able to participate live but better late than never, I'm looking forward to the second day 6 call in January and seeing what else is possible for me in 2026 and beyond.

At night I've started listening to a hypnosis recording while I go to sleep and I drop off quickly and feel great in the morning. I have also given up trying to force myself to go to bed earlier, I don't actually have to be up early so I just go to bed when I'm ready and wake up when I'm ready, my quality of sleep is so much better. I have spent most of my adult life using medication to help me get to sleep earlier but would wake up again within the hour and keep waking up all night and in the morning I would feel tired and groggy and foggy headed no matter how much sleep I got and I hate the way the medication made me feel. Now, in the morning, because I have the time, instead of getting up right away I take my time and enjoy the relaxed alpha wave state for a while, and listen to another hypnosis recording, "freedom from anxiety" or " motivation" , I think they are really starting to help, it feels like my thinking is changing.. I also fast til the early afternoon and really enjoy that first meal instead of rushing and forcing down something I don't really feel like eating. Drinking water first thing is a no brainer for me, I'm usually thirsty when I wake up and never go anywhere without a bottle of water anyway (not that I always remember to actually drink it 😁) I will try adding electrolytes more often though and see if that gives me a boost.
