One of the clearest ways to measure your wellness is to pay close attention to your energy cycles throughout the day. You hear me talk about “rhythm” all the time.
An optimal energy cycle looks like this..
1. Wake, feel rested and fully alert without caffeine within 30 mins.
2. Optimal energy & creativity about 2 hours after waking.
3. Optimal physical energy and strength around 10-11am (this is why I always train around this time of day💪🏼)
4. Steady energy through midday with waining energy as the sun lowers in the sky (this is NOT a mid afternoon crash)
5. Slow, steady decline in energy and cognitive focus throughout the evening
6. Tired by bedtime (not wired and tired)
I work hard to align my daily tasks around this energy cycle. So when it comes to dinner, I know I won’t feel like cooking by 6pm. I therefore prep one day of the week or often times start prep around 4pm when I turn on The Five @danaperino @thegutter so by 6pm my food just needs to be popped into the oven.
Get to know your energy cycles. This will be a game changer in your life and your health!
Your happiness is not a gift given to you by others.
Create a mantra for your life. If you aren't writing your story, someone else is writing it for you.

Hello my friends!
I'm finishing up the transition away from Locals onto Substack and wanted to be sure each of you have made the necessary adjustments to your accounts. For those of you who have remaining months left on your paid support here, I have comped you the balance over at Substack.
This will be the final week I post content here.
I will resume the live recordings over there, starting with our first call on Friday, March 3rd at 9am/12pm. Invitations to join the Zoom calls will go out on Substack. Mark your calendars!
Also, be sure to download the Substack App! I love the app and find it so helpful in organizing content I want to read later by keeping it on my dashboard.
See you on the other side!

One of the biggest challenges in writing my book is not being able to share any of it along the way. Given my narcissistic need for constant approval and attention, not having any feedback is killing me. Even negative attention is better than no attention at all (which explains a lot of my behavior in life), so not only am I missing the praise but I also miss my haters.
I need to break out of this cave. Thanks to Chuck Palahniuk who writes Spoiler Alert on Substack, but you would know as the author of Fight Club, I got the idea to share some excerpts and things that won’t make the final edit. This will give us both what we need. I get some attention and you get some thought provoking words to make you think (and possibly laugh, cry or both.)
Today’s snippet is from the first draft of a chapter titled, Remove Your Kindergarten Name Tag. I am currently on my third revision and we can all be thankful for this. As I walk my readers through the dark hallways of my earliest years, and attempt ...
Wanted to pass this short video along. We think of health in very limited ways. Faith, nature, love, communality, shared human experience…all prove to be just as necessary, if not more so, than going to the gym.
I’ve always viewed and taught health from this perspective. It is my belief the lack of these essential elements is as big an issue in our culture as poor diet and lack of movement.
The takeaway-we can do better🙏🏼
