5 Thought Friday
3 day, zero-calorie fast for me this week including 2 workouts on Day 2 and Day 3 - Completely rejuvenating.
1. What I am currently reading, viewing, or listening to:
I loved this article on so many levels and now re-thinking if I am under-shooting my vision of living to 110.
2. Gratitude Practice (for improved happiness):
Grateful to have the mental and physical strength to complete my 3 days fast, immediately followed by a 1 day fast (Sunday night to Wednesday night, followed by Wednesday night to Thursday night).
I had planned to go four straight days, but my body told me it was time to stop and eat Wednesday night…..and I listened.
My go-to guru/guide to fasting is Dr. Jason Fung’s Complete Guide to Fasting
3. Wellness ideas to consider:
A recent article on how to break and fast along with the benefits of fasting. The last item on the benefits list below is my major focus:
Improved mental focus
Prevention of dementia
Prevention of insulin resistance
Slowing down the aging process
4. What I’m eating, drinking, buying, or whatever else is on my mind:
Cha Bei tomato/strawberry salad and Avocado Poke Bowl. Both delicious tasting and deliciously colorful looking. This picture says it all:
5. Quote(s) I am Pondering:
Caught a great Podcast recommended by one of my lifecoaching peers. Martha Beck on Jay Shetty Podcast: “What is the best piece of advice you ever received? “Trust Yourself”
A simple response but it resonates so deeply i.e. listen to your intuition and follow what works best for you as a unique individual!
Happy Friday!
Mike
