There’s good reason to believe you’re deficient in magnesium.
And if it’s true…
It’s likely having a big impact on your overall health.
We’ve all been there…
Enjoying a nice hot shower only to have the water suddenly change into a freezing stream of pure shock!
Should I jump out?
Don’t be so quick to scream at your significant other for using up all the hot water and embrace the feeling.
Cold showers just might be your next health addiction.
The role of light in getting a solid night’s sleep goes far beyond just turning off your lights and going to bed.
Science is now exploring the relationship between light, when we’re exposed to it (or not), and sleep quality.
Light plays a very important role in what’s called our circadian rhythm.
Our body’s own natural 24-hour clock informs us about when to feel awake and when to feel tired.
Light also plays a vital role in the production of cortisol, melatonin, and adenosine, all of which influence this sleep-wake cycle.
Think about how we evolved as humans.
We didn’t try to get our best quality sleep after watching hours of the newest Netflix series (as fun as binging Ozarks maybe), and wake up to immediately check our phones and start scrolling on TikTok.
Inherently, we woke up and went to sleep with this is why getting adequate sunlight at key times of the day may be the missing link to your sleep problems.
When it comes to setting and striving towards any goal, whether it be health, financial, relationship or career, it’s important to avoid getting stuck in the “all or nothing” mind trap.
Repeat after me…
Some-thing is better than no-thing.
Explore the example of a 10-pound weight loss.
After watching endless Instagram influencers and YouTube stars, you’re convinced the best path to success is as follows:
In rare cases, this routine may be kept up…for a while anyway.
But ultimately this degree of behaviour is generally short-lived and the ensuing failure (for the #475th time) could finally be enough to lead to submission for good.
In cases where it’s not a total disaster, at a minimum it adds to skepticism and eventual cynicism about the likelihood of finally improving one’s life.
On the flip side, we may believe that given our past lack of success, it’s not even worth starting.
In the end, we find ourselves fully embracing the master plan or not wanting to start because we see our efforts as eventually fruitless.
There is a time and place for these intense goal-setting sprints. Hyper-focused attention and dedication can help propel you through a “sticking point”.
Use them in small doses with a specific goal, outcome, and plan.
However, the best outline for consistent improvement begins with transitioning your all or none mentality to a framework that will support long-term success.
