After 4 days and nearly 40 hours in a vehicle getting from Michigan to California, it is finally time for me to rest. My dad and I drove for 4 days across 8ish states to get me all the way out to LA for the next 10 weeks and I gotta say... we. are. sore. we. are. tired. we. need. self-care. So what do you do? Movement. Eeeeeeasy movement. - - some assisted lunges (using balance or stability so I can just move my body comfortably) - - some toe touches (nothing strenuous. literally hinging over slowly and touching my toes) - - some rotational twists through my entire chain (think of someone trying to wring themselves out like a towel in one direction and then doing it the other way - using a wall helps a ton here) And even more importantly? - Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. We were trying not to stop every hour for bathroom breaks and I know the two of us are very under-hydrated. - Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Getting back to a sleep schedule will be CRITICAL for recovery. I'm talking bedtimes and morning alarms, fam. ***This entire thread was drafted yesterday but apparently I was so tired I didn't hit "post" !

1. You’ve survived 100% of your worst days 2. Just because it’s normal to you doesn’t mean it is correct for you 3. Your past is not your prison 4. You are allowed to choose differently 5. Even on your worst days of trying or attempting or getting up, you’re still far better off than not trying at all. What would you add to the list?

Happy WINSday, squad - what're we winning in this week?? For me, I've been watching a new course that is helping with my content creation and is full of value - plus, I picked up some new photo/video work as well to help keep the wheels moving a little bit. How about y'all? Where are you winning?

When it comes to your sleep health, here are some things to keep in mind and to give a try: 1. Sleep in a cool room (below 67 degrees if possible - great for your quality of sleep) 2. Limit light from coming into the room - I have 2 blackout curtains and make sure no light can get into my windows. 3. Get off your phone/TV at least 30 minutes to an hour before bed - blue light will keep your mind stimulated, even if it’s only just a bit. 4. Journaling before bed is an excellent way to get stuff out of your head and onto paper — write it out so it’s not just stuck in your head with nowhere to go. 5. A fan or sound machine can go a long way with keeping your mind at ease. 6. Alcohol before bed greatly impacts your sleep, and no, not in a positive way - try to limit alcohol intake at least 3 hours before bed. 7. No more work 2 hours before bed. Stop it. You’re done for the day (he says to himself when he should be sleeping). Anything you all would add to this list?? It’s not complete but it at least gets the ball rolling!
