✨ Sunday Shift: Sharpening the Saw
Happy Sunday Shift day. Happy reflection time. Happy sharpening-of-the-saw day. ​ 🌟 The people who sharpen the saw are always further ahead than those who just keep forcing it by brute force. 🌟 In your heart of hearts, you already know there's more than one way. ​ That expression, sharpening the saw, comes straight from Stephen Covey. Any other Stephen Covey fans here? ​ I read the teenage version of this book 7 habits of highly effective people/teens when I was quite young, and it had a pretty influential impact on the way I started to view things. One of the last chapters is about sharpening the saw. ​ We can just keep working hard, hard, hard with a dull saw... and barely make any progress. Sharpening the saw means taking the time to stop, sharpen the saw, so you can go back to work with a sharp saw. And the people who sharpen the saw are always further ahead than the ones forcing it by brute force. ​ That's what the Sunday Shift is about. Not in some All day Sunday kind of commitment... a genuine, fifteen-minute reflection. ​ I'm still sometimes searching for the words to express my vision for this space. There are a ton of PMOS and metabolic spaces out there that sell you certain promised outcomes. Do x, y, z and you'll get this result. And I think, in your heart of hearts, you already know there's more than one way. ​ That's why this space is different. There are ideas here to explore. Ideas that might be more important, or less important, to you based on where you are in your journey. Instead of stripping that autonomy and making you dependent on an external force, I want this to be a place where you start to believe in yourself, trust yourself, learn how to discern, how to critically think, and how to self-lead your next best action. ​ And welcome to the Sunday Shift. ​ ──────────────────────────── ✅ THE EASIEST WAY IN (self-led) One very specific focus, with flexible outcomes. ──────────────────────────── ​ A Good / Better / Best framework, so we have a built-in strategy for goal-setting that isn't all-or-nothing thinking by design. It's already designed for a hard week, an average week, and a week where things are just clicking and you get to push the limits on that goal.

Used the PCOS Lab Check-list and it worked! 🥳
Hope this can inspire other members to do the same! This community has given me the courage to ask some specific lab prescriptions to a doctor! I was really nervous because it was a first time in my life where I was a bit more ACTIVE in my health, and asked something instead of just accepting what was given to me. The doctor didn't want to give me all the lab work I wanted from the PCOS Lab Checklist, but I got a few! Every one of them is a win. I cannot express enough my gratitude towards Dr Mélanie DesChâtelets for this. You changed my life. Thank you so much 🫶

🧠 Reflection ​ My goal has been humor. ​ I've continued to read my book slowly. I'm enjoying it. And I have my playlist... which I just haven't gotten to, since I haven't watched much screen time. So I'm going to keep exploring and sit with it. ​ But something that was genuinely so funny and so proud and teary-eyed: ​ My seven-year-old had a talent show at her school, and she did her gymnastics routine. ​ At rehearsal she did the routine from her gymnastics class... which was, let's say, designed on the shorter end of things 😉 ​ The school told her it had to be at least two minutes. ​ So her solution? She took out a few moves. Made it shorter. ​ Then she filled the rest with a Guinness World record breaking amount of cartwheels, forward rolls, backward rolls, and round offs. Non stop. The entire length of the song. ​ The endurance was incredibly impressive. ​ That probably made me laugh the most this week. She blew past the two-minute mark and just kept going... two minutes and forty-three seconds, right to the very end of the song. ​ Because she had no idea when two minutes were up while she was up there. ​ What's genuinely funny in life is sometimes just the unexpected twists and turns in ordinary moments. ​ And the biggest win... ​ "Maman, j'avais une peur bleue." (Mom, I was scared stiff.) ​ But she showed up. She did it. She was beaming with pride for showing up for herself. ​ And that win is priceless. ​ 🌿 My Learning ​ I get teary-eyed at these things every single time, because for me, the win is actually just facing your fears, showing up, and doing something vulnerable. And I couldn't be more proud of her and her monster level of endurance. ​ ✅ Good / Better / Best Goals ​ Good: Continuing to read my book. Better: Actually making time to just listen to funny stuff. Best: In the day-to-day moments, bringing more humor. Trying to find levity and jokes in it. ​ 🎯 Intentions for This Week ​ → Bring more humor in → Keep reading my book, slowly → Watch my funny playlist

What's something you're still chewing on?
I've been sharing resources and videos in here... and I genuinely want to know what's landing and what's leaving you with more questions. ​ Something still fuzzy? A concept that's half-clicked but not all the way? Something you watched or read that opened a door you don't know how to walk through yet? ​ That gap isn't a problem. It's actually where the good stuff is. 💡 ​ 👇 Drop it below... what do you want to go deeper on? I'm here.
