Routines

Energy and Routines go hand in hand! A solid mourning routine means to own the day. It sounds silly, but it is not. The most highly successful in every way have a mourning routine. There is a common denominator among all of those who are successful, and those are the people who follow routines to a T. Shawn says we all stay up a little bit later then we are suppose to. Routines can be fun and don’t need to be boring. Their health benefits will make you wonder why you didn’t start one earlier. Everyone is unique. Not everyone requires a fully scheduled day to reap the health benefits of a routine, so make the choices that work for you, knowing they’ll only make you healthier and more efficient with your time. Mourning routines often traumatize our brain into being awake. You race to the coffee shop and do all the things you can not wait to do till lunch. Stop it!

Let’s image a better day with Shawn himself. Imagine listening to chimes when you wake up, followed by some box breathing. This ignites our parasympathetic nervous system. Whatever follows “I am” is what your body is going to manifest. Better sleep will leave you refreshed. Your daily routine influences your quality of rest. Your sleep schedule and bedtime habits affect your mental sharpness, performance, emotional well-being and energy level. It’s best if you can maintain a consistent time for waking and going to bed.Better health is a result of just a little extra planning. Set the alarm a little earlier and you’ll have time to exercise and eat breakfast, fueling your body for the day. Even a quick (and healthy) breakfast will get you energized. A favorite of ours is a whole yogurt bowl with fresh fruit, or even a fully sproutedf piece of bread with avocados on it with magnesium salt on top. Whether you like to just go for a run or go to the gym for a bigger workout, it’s important make time for exercise.

Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA occurs when there is partial or complete blockage of the upper airway during sleep. This can lead to shallow or maybe even no breathing, for a period during sleep. Due to the obstruction, the diaphragm and chest muscles must work harder to open the obstructed airway so some air can get to the lungs. This can lead to an array of disruptive sleeping habits like jerking, snorting, or gasping. There are several strategies that you can use to improve your symptoms of sleep apnea. While surgery is an option, there are also nonsurgical options as well. Reduce hypnotic sleep drugs (Ambien, Lunesta, etc.) Reduce alcohol intake prior to bed, and in general. Proper sleep hygiene – going to bed at the same time every night, winding down, blue light blocking glasses in the evening, do not eat too late. Do not use caffeine throughout the day as that can disturb circadian rhythm, sleep cycles. Lose weight. Sleep apnea worsens with weight. And the body will crave sugar and junk food with sleep deprivation and low oxygen in the brain. Wear a wearable that tracks sleep quality.
