@Julie Fratantoni I knew I should have banned the “all of them” response. 😅

Regarding exercise, I understand the study that supported achieving increased focus from the 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise. Are their comparable studies or do you have a perspective (and you usually do) on the impact on the brain from other forms of exercise or movement? Weight training, HIIT (which I personally love), yoga, etc

8.5 hours. Shut down electronics earlier. Went to bed earlier (although still at midnight).

And I do find blackout curtains and shades plus keeping it cool makes a big difference.

I have a love/hate relationship with breathwork to be honest. It is quite powerful and yet I often skip it during my various health practices. I did option 1 today and it was helpful. I have done option 2 in the past and it is energizing. I like the impact of both of them. I just need the patience and focus to fully incorporate them into my daily routine. Thank you for the reminder and reinforcement of the power of breathwork.

@Julie Fratantoni breath work is often incorporated into another practice for me (yoga, Flow60, meditation). And I often cut it short and focus on the more physical movements which all include breath work as well. It’s the focused isolated breath work that usually gets reduced or eliminated.

Done and I will try not to follow my passion for ignoring boundaries

I put my phone away and took a 20 minute break. I survived. My mind likes to wander and create. So it was useful time.
