5 Thought Friday
Here are 5 Thoughts for the week!
1. What I am currently reading, viewing, or listening to:
They discussed their upcoming must-watch documentary “Limitless” on longevity which includes fasting, swimming in freezing arctic water, and more!
2. Gratitude Practice (for improved happiness):
Grateful for 20+ amazing years together with my beautiful wife as we celebrated our wedding anniversary (virtually this year)!
3. Wellness ideas to consider:
Walked in a T-shirt in the cold rain (13C/55F) to build up my energy and mental resilience. Check out all the benefits in the above article. Lift your mood, burn more calories, increase good “brown fat”, etc.
4. What I’m eating, drinking, buying, or whatever else is on my mind:
Tylenol (borrowed not buying): Covid is finally making its way through China and Macau, so time to stock up and get ready for the wave! Unfortunately, I tried to stock up too late and it was all sold out, so I borrowed some from a friend.
5. Quote(s) I am Pondering:
“What I “discovered” was that happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command. It does not depend on outside events, but, rather, on how we interpret them. Happiness, in fact, is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.” Flow, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
I read this over and over > 10x. I cannot comprehend how powerful this concept is to create a happy, fulfilling life. Basically, it’s all inside you and within your control!!!
Happy Friday!
Mike
