5 Thought Friday — SleepMindHeart

5 Thoughts for the week:

1. What I am currently reading, viewing, or listening to:

Lives of the Stoics; Ryan Holiday
Anytime I find a book on stoic thinking, I buy it. I just started reading, so I cannot give an opinion…but most likely I will love it.

2. Gratitude Practice (for improved happiness):

Irene and I are so grateful to finally be able to receive our first vaccine shot. Shot two is scheduled for next month.

3. Wellness ideas to consider:

RISEUP method to getting up in the morning; Resist the snooze, Increase movement, Shower, Exposure to sunlight, Upbeat music, Phone a friend
I agree with most but have a few more tweaks like Meditation and Coffee

4. What I’m eating, drinking, buying, or whatever else is on my mind:

I have been enjoying my band workouts, so decided to buy another type for diversification. I will let you know which works better.

5. Quote(s) I am Pondering:

“What the Stoics were after, what we remain interested in to this day, were lights to illuminate the path in life. They wanted to know, as we want to know, how to find tranquility, purpose, self-control, and happiness.” Ryan Holiday, Lives of the Stoics - Kindle Edition.

Happy Friday!
