Thankful for the Health Benefits of Sleep, COVID Blog Posts, & a Great Lift

Day 3,090

Growth:

Today was another insightful reminder of how important sleep is to our life! In my doc appointment today he spent some time sharing why high quality sleep is so important. To think that we can reduce our odds of heart issues, Alzheimer’s, and a bevy of other disorders simply by sleeping well was all the motivation I need to help me stay focused on the importance of sleep. Bring on the zzz’s!

Appreciation:

What a different world it was four years ago. Rereading my blog posts from the start of COVID has been a trip down memory lane. Specifically, this post is one I still think of often…. https://thankful4forty.com/2020/03/13/day-1263-thankful-for-remembering-to-control-what-you-can-control-be-the-light/

Presence:

With my recent vacation my schedule was off a little longer than expected as I caught back up on work. Today was the first day I hit the gym for weightlifting in exactly two weeks. I was a little nervous about how much I had regressed in the time off. Imagine my surprise when I found that I was able to lift MORE than I was before vacation! Turns out the time away was the perfect balance of not being gone too long AND getting enough rest to fully recover.

Thanks!!!
