Always Go To The Source First

Go look at the source material. Do not allow someone else to give their opinion as fact. As tempting as it might be to accept that version of events, it’s not a good idea.

Sure it would be quicker. But it won’t be as accurate or informative.

Go to the source first.

Timing Helps

Having the right timing can be very beneficial. Near misses are based on beneficial timing. Impact and accidents tend to be unfortunate timing.

Some timing elements you can predict. For example, being late to an interview is rarely going to provide a good outcome.

You can force timing, but it doesn’t always work out well. Agree timings. Then allow plenty of time to arrive early. Enjoy the feeling of calm as you arrive with time to spare.

Just Add Water

It’s amazing how water can fix so many things. Dehydration, which can cause sluggishness or loss of focus, can be fixed with a few glasses of water.

Have a glass of water a little before bed and have a full glass when you wake up. These are easy times to remember and great habits to instil.

A few more glasses of water throughout the day and you’ll feel fresher, more awake, energised and focused.

Keep the water flowing. You’ll feel better for it.

Early To Bed

What does that mean to you? Does it mean a certain time? Is it a silly idea that you can’t take seriously?

Could you go to bed at 6pm and be comfortable with that?

Would you have to be quite unwell? Or could you decide on a whim that you needed some extra rest and simply get yourself to bed? Or are you a wake-up-late-only-option kind of person? Have a think about how you see time and sleep. It may be revealing or surprising. Goodnight.

Home

I love it. Coming home from a trip away is always full of anticipation. Finding all the familiar things is lovely. Familiar foods and local places are always appreciated.

Enjoy your time away. But treasure being home when you come back.

What Is The Price For Free Speech?

For some, they paid the ultimate price.

Many take it for granted.

There are also many that have, lucky for them, never even thought about it. They’ve never had too.

Elon Musk is attempting to buy Twitter for $43bn as a proxy for free speech. He is a purist. He seems to believe everyone can have a voice and people should not be censored. Why not?

The Twitter Board doesn’t like it. They rejected the offer. What exactly they didn’t like is hard to tell. That they will likely lose their jobs? That they will lose their power to control who speaks and what they can say? Or that they think, despite a failing business model, they can turn this company around and make it great again.

Get the popcorn, this is interesting.

Just One More, Can Create Challenges

Whether it’s a cookie, drink or one more ski run, just one more can change things.

The cookie can add to unwanted weight. The drink might having you feeling more tired in the morning. And the extra ski run might make you miss your connection back to your mountain base.

Know when to be grateful and satisfied. You’ll appreciate what came before even more.

Sauna, Steam Room, Hot Tub And Chill Pool

I love a sauna. Always have. These were mainly après-ski activities as a kid and teen.

These later became part of an annual spa tradition my wife and I indulge in. 10 minutes hot, then 1 minute cold. Repeat a few times. Shower. Dry off in the warm air on a lounger or hammock, in front of a crackling fire. Then read and drift off to sleep.

It’s amazing. Swimming in the river is nice too. Contact me for location details if you like. Two days and you’re a new person. Indulge.

On The Mend

It feels so good when you turn the corner on an ailment, condition, flue, cold, etc. It’s that moment when you know you’re coming out the other side and everything is getting better.

That is a nice moment to savour. Enjoy it.
