Eating for Life

Daily Meditation #339–1/29/2023 As discussed through the book and many of these meditations, we often choose behaviors that act out our beliefs that we will live forever. Instead of every day eating in order to live to 100… We eat as if we are destined to live to 100. Instead…

Waste of Breath

Daily Meditation #338–1/28/2023 It’s incredibly easy to get in the bad habit of complaining. Ask any of my friends or loved ones — I’m notorious for it! Because it’s addictive. You’re running late because something outside of you — slow drivers, a failed alarm. Your lunch was no good because the…

Compartments

Daily Meditation #337–1/27/2023 Some days are good. Some, bad. Some car rides are smooth, others fraught with tedium. Some books are entertaining, some unfinishable. Sometimes we are inspired, sometimes lethargic. Not every moment of every day of each week of every month of our lives will be a momentous occasion…

Good Morning

Daily Meditation #336–1/26/2023 Though in the book we talk about the entire psychological and physical system of improving sleep, let’s today touch on just one element of improving the morning: Getting out of bed. This is for many of us something that’s easy to do yet the most difficult at…

Failure — What is It?

Daily Meditation #335–1/25/2023 We have given “failure” such a bad name over the years. Losing a friendly game of basketball turns into bitter anger. Salesmen go from coworkers to unhealthy competitors. We are rejected by those we are attracted to… But, in reality, isn’t failure in many ways a blessing? …

You Can Make a Difference(?)

Daily Meditation #334–1/24/2023 “Go vote! Only you can save our country.” “Rise up and resist!” “You can change the world — donate your time or money to this cause.” So readily is the narrative of “Thing X is flawed, and only you can change the world” is foisted upon us. …

Animal Mediations IV

Daily Meditation #333–1/23/2023 Animal Meditation Series — I II III Here’s an interesting thing for you to observe. As you drive along a freeway, interstate or major highway, the roads are usually cleared back on either side. Sometimes there’s a scant row of trees, and then fields, other times, just a…

Just Trust Me, Bro

Daily Meditation #332–1/22/2023 Humans are inherent control freaks. Riding in the car, our spouse may exclaim “I really wish you’d get around this guy!” or “You’re driving too fast! Slow down!” Playing football, benched, we scream at our teammates what they should do — or what the refs should do. …

Kingdoms and Thrones

Daily Meditation #332–1/21/2023 We all are kings and queens over our various kingdoms. Our households. Our offices. Perhaps in our committees and boards we volunteer on. With our children. Yet, many of us tend to treat our domains — “kingdoms" even — like a feifdom where we rule with anger…

Glaciers

Daily Meditation #331–1/20/2023 (Apologies if this isn’t as “flashy" as usual. I am writing and publishing it from the Warsaw Airport!) This morning, I flew over the southern tip of Norway and Sweden. As we were 41,000 feet in the air traveling 600mph on our recliner-filled and carpeted missle, you…
