It was 15 degrees Celsius outside so I need to go for a small walk it was so peaceful and relaxing with the wind and wave i did 25 minute walk

I was working towards a training and this term came up "The Principle of Specificity". It's a take on "Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands" (SAID Principle). It's a principle that comes from exercise science, buuuuut it applies far beyond the gym, so I thought that I'd bring it to our life gym here! :) The bottom line is this: Your body and brain adapt specifically to the demands that you consistently place on them. :) Intentions in this case don't really matter. We don't rise to our intentions, but rather we adapt to our repetitions. How we think matters, what we do matters. If you train heavy, you get stronger. If you practice calm breathing under stress, you get calmer under stress. If you rehearse negative self-talk, you get better at negative self talk. It's a neutral principle-it's not about judgment, but rather about adaptation. Neurons that fire together, wire together. :) 🌿 Psychological Benefits When applied intentionally, specificity becomes powerful. It can increase self-efficacy- training specific skills and gaining real evidence that you can handle situations increases confidence and ability. It can reduce anxiety because the more we do something the more the brain interprets that somethingis safe enough to do and it recalibrates. It improves cognitive efficiency. By getting better at what we practice and reducing decision fatigue, our brain starts conserving energy. It can shape our identify. If we repeatedly act aligned with a trait that's important to us, our self concept shifts to match those behaviors. *General effort produces general adaptation.Specific effort produces specific transformation.*--We just get to be intentional. POLL: Where are you currently applying specificity most intentionally? QUESTION: What is one area where your current results reflect the demands you’ve been repeatedly placing on yourself? ACTION: Pick one micro-demand you want to adapt to. Make it small. Make it specific.Repeat it daily for 7 days. Example:2 minutes of deliberate breathwork under mild stress, One direct sentence instead of passive communication, 10 minutes of focused skill practice

This year marked 20 years of partnership with a company I aligned with around cleaner personal care and nutrition — and what stands out most isn’t the milestone. It’s the consistency. For two decades, my family has used the products daily. My kids grew up with them. Our nutrition and skincare are staples in our home — not because of trends, but because we made a decision about what we value. Here’s something I’ve observed: When you protect your health, your energy changes. When your energy changes, your decision-making improves. When your decisions improve, your results expand. Women who build sustainably don’t just manage time.They manage energy. And energy starts with the standards you’re willing to hold. What’s one area of your life where raising the standard would change everything?

This part is rarely talked about. As entrepreneurs grow: – responsibilities increase – pressure increases – identity shifts But food systems often stay stuck in an old version of self — one that had more time, less stress, and more margin. So what used to “work” stops working. And instead of adjusting the system, people blame themselves. Outgrowing old food rules doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means your life has changed — and your approach needs to change with it. That’s not weakness. That’s evolution. Do you feel like the way you used to eat no longer fits who you are now?

A lot of entrepreneurs think their issue with food is discipline. But what’s actually happening is this: Food becomes a way to feel in control when everything else feels uncertain. So you tighten rules. You “get serious.” You try to eat perfectly. Until: – stress spikes – energy drops – life gets busy Then the rules collapse. And the shame cycle starts again. That’s not lack of willpower. That’s a nervous system looking for safety. Food control doesn’t fail because you’re weak. It fails because it was never meant to carry that much pressure. Do you notice yourself getting more rigid with food when life feels chaotic?
