GRATITUDE: Somehow managed to get out of bed at 5:30 and do 20 min yoga, pivot to coffee/lunch/breakfast duties, get a strength workout in, all before my usual morning walk. Definitely felt more productive than usual before the 10 o’clock hour.
FOCUS: Need to better break down these small strength workouts better to allow for separate lower, upper, and core body workouts so I don’t burnout, yet also focus on all the different parts of the body. Also need to determine which day of the week is best suited for a morning run…I think Wednesdays…
INSPIRATION: Not feeling super inspired by Adam Grant’s audiobook Originals (despite feeling the pressure to actually complete more books this year) and so I’ve switched over to Jay Shetty’s Think Like a Monk.
