Re-Chat with Sage
I had done my 2 week Domino work in the AI yesterday, and although I believed my Domino was Movement, I was feeling challenged with the reality that had been mirrored back at me and the AI's solution to my sedentary afternoons. I did a little deep thinking and problem solving of my own yesterday and went back to Sage this morning, and I am so glad I did. I pointed out my concerns and discussed how I had been feeling since yesterday's assessment and we came up with a plan that worked beautifully for me. I will now use an exercise bike for the length of an educational video on a topic I really want to learn about vs going for a walk in the middle of Winter in freezing temperatures. AI had also given me a reality check of how many hours a day I was wasting watching tv, and strongly encouraged me to be productive in the afternoon. But as I reiterated, by afternoon I was mentally spent. So I divided my to do list into items where I needed to make decisions (decluttering and organizing) and ones I did not (washing dishes, folding laundry), and we rearranged my day to where I did decision making tasks in the morning and moved non-decision making tasks to the afternoon.I actually feel excited to do this. So don't be afraid to discuss with Sage feelings that are being brought up. She's a pretty good listener and problem solver 🥰

I love the idea of SAGE and look forward to meeting her, to help with the advice - and the gentle challenge she will give me on assumptions made, appreciate Deanna your willingness to share, some of the ideas on how to "get the exercise in - and still do the educational learning" - that is GOLD - thanks. I have gamified my decluttering, as it is a YUK job, and just tires me out.
Better sleep
Thought I would share a tip that I've found for better sleep if you are sensitive to sound. I used to wake up all through the night to every little sound. I invested in some Loop earplugs and now sleep like a baby. I use them every night and especially if I go camping. You can even get ones you can wear to concerts and places where there is a lot of noise and you can still hear everything and talk, they just lower the decibels. They look super cool and fit so nicely in your ear and I am also a side sleeper and they don't bother me. I am super sensitive to noise and these have changed everything for me. I recommend them to everyone!💖 There are heaps to choose from, so I use Quiet2 for sleep (they are completely rubber so good for side sleeping). I also have the Experience2 for when I’m out or I need a backup for sleeping. You can also put a little plugs in them to decrease the decibel level that can get in.

Thankyou for sharing this Nicola, as I seem to be able to hear the slightest sound, and my squirrel will just stay listening and trying to figure it out. It is so hot/humid here in Hamilton NZ so a fan is a must, and that is hard to get to sleep with. Appreicate you sharing the models, I think it will make a difference to a good night sleep.
Biology- step 1
Yay I finally get a good enough network to watch the week 2 recording. My sleep is pretty good, well duration in bed wise… need to drill into that. We have a luminescent clock in our room and I already suggested to remove it but it does not work for hubby. Anyone has a recommendation for a mask or something? I definitely have the movement in place - I have a the weight training Ican probably tweak it to get more zone 2 Food: i definitely struggle here. I am probably 20k overweight and even if I don’t care about the number (well I do care because it’s a secret I am the only one to know that number!), but I actually have the goal to get a weight were I can do my sports (running climbing hiking) with bliss. That s my measure, however. I have found a protocole that works for me, I slowly improve. I think it is pretty close to what is recommended. Maybe I could put it in my library to have sage check it out? Next step do the search on level2 cardio, check my dark room and check the alignment of my food protocole. Then the workbook. Sorry for the long post! I am back 😬🎉

@Nadine Fargier your vulnerability and humbleness in sharing some of your challenges takes a lot of courage. Slowly improving the components that help make us healthier is a great pathway - I share some of your challenges, and not scared to say it (but ashamed) - I have a target of losing 35% of my body weight, I did it before Covid, and felt amazing -interestingly the things I was doing, eating non processed food, (primarily keto), drinking less as I was enjoying the focus I had on exercise (Swim, walk, hike) - my ADHD was much better managed. So Week 2, on the Biology Review - is helping me get back to basics. I am travelling to Chile at Xmas and really want to feel fantabulous for my date with the Flamingoes I've seen people try using a “clock cozy” • A tiny fabric cover or scarf draped loosely over the display can soften the glow - or maybe your Hubby's cap? • Think of it like putting a lampshade on a too-bright bulb. Goodluck with your journey :)

@Deanna Dalton - this is so true and I love the notation that @Jim Ebbelaar gives us about "don't miss two days in a row" - this has kept me on task, and a real check in on my level of commitment. Thank you for reminding us that Slow and Steady, and small efforts will add up to the gradual and more sustainable transformation. You've go this. :)
Introduction
Hi I'm Gerard, 67 year old widower. My youngest son (35) has just been disgnosed with ADHD. He tells me it is often genetic and that I should consider being tested. Another son has assured me that I have "something", citing my issues with punctuality and lack of organisation as likely indications. I will probably have a professional test shortly and hope the outcome msy help me make sense of some of the difficulties I have encountered in the past and build a structure to make my future easier and more enjoyable
