Before you reach for a chemical fix or scroll for motivation, consider this: ☝️ Sleep isn’t just recovery. It’s your brain’s original performance enhancer—and its most natural antidepressant. A review of 77 studies found that quality sleep the night before a workout boosts: • Strength • Endurance • Skill learning • Fat loss • Mental sharpness But get less than 6 hours, and: • Skill gains drop by 21% • Performance craters • Thought clarity and adaptive decision-making unravel • Depression symptoms kick in And if you’re clocking under 5 hours a night? Expect 5 extra pounds and a sluggish prefrontal cortex—fertile ground for mood disruption. Want to train harder, think sharper, and stabilize your mindset—no prescription required? Neuro-Mindset Sleep Protocol: • Stop eating 2–3 hours before bed—digestion disrupts deep sleep • Get early morning sunlight—resets your brain’s circadian pacemaker • Stick to a consistent bedtime, even on weekends • Power down screens 60+ minutes before bed—blue light hijacks your brain’s shutdown sequence Your Mindset Assignment: Sleep isn’t a luxury. Treat it as a high-performance cognitive tool. Tonight, fuel your brain like your life depends on it—because it does. —Dr. Heath

#Overthinking is a Myth Ever think you’re overthinking? Actually, after 30+ years in private practice and a pair of Ph.D.s in psychology I’ve discovered OVERthinking (i.e., thinking TOO much) doesn’t exist. It’s actually UNDERthinking which is ignoring important aspects of a situation 😉 We can think FAST and shallow or SLOW and deep. UNDERthinking is the former which leaves us being unaware of our existence information that may be useful. As a veteran clinician, I’ve met so many that UNDERthink. I’ve never met, after encountering many thousands of patients and coaching clients, any who have thought TOO much.

Being reprimanded is Growth and wisdom charish those moments instead of being led by emotions

Today I Think of a lot of things I've learned with me the most important. Was getting out of the way letting Jesus setting myself aside love y'all have a Blessed day
