I felt like I indulged in too many carbs / cals on a recent trip. Activity fell lower and consequently sleep got bad. Evaluation on the other hand went through the roof…..I am so aware of my SANE process, I know what to look for as things falling off in some way. What that does is really recognizes how bad it feels. Not just the mental beating of slowing your goal or missing it, but also bloat and inflammation, head pounding and Armageddon level digestion. This causes me to want to “FALL BACK” to SANE….up the activity consistency, back to Whole Foods and greens, the feeling of no bloat no inflammation, no pain or problem life….Sanity! That is why I have now fallen back to feeling good!

Sunday sets my week up for success—or failure. When I take time to plan my focus, my food, and even my laundry, I eliminate so many small daily decisions that lead to fatigue or frustration. By making the right choices easy—and even enjoyable—I set myself up for a great week. How are you setting yourself up for success this week?

This is the real question. So much of my success and failure has stemmed from this question. The answer has always been….. I am the person I think I really am. Insanity is not knowing. If I have a skill over others it is probably the ability to overthink at such a level I can breakdown everything into smaller parts and smaller parts etc. this is the age old blessing and curse. Meeting Joey Rojan was destiny in a way because I broke him down more and more to try to figure out how he stayed to disciplined, stoic in a way. Turns out he managed his life into four distinct things. Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, and he Evaluated those three Things against and with each other. As I breakdown the question of who am I, I breakdown who I am into 4 majors categories and then break each down to base levels. Those 4 things are Faith, Family and Friends, Financial, Fitness and all that encompasses. These four F’s I beginning to see who I truly am. SANE is that base levels of Fitness. I have broken down Financial into Cash flow planning and the Tri Peak Process. Faith, Family and Friends I am working on. Once complete, I will break those down to who I am, the Iron North Man! I see what he looks like and imagine how he feels. He is my hero version, my servant version, that movie main character. I am who I imagine myself to be. Stay SANE!
