>>>#28/1/24 WEEK 4 UPDATES: Sleep Well, Key to Wellness

 


Time, an elusive companion, dances swiftly through the week. The nocturnal escapades, coupled with a relentless lack of sleep, have proven to be a formidable adversary, disrupting my morning routine, particularly the sacred morning walk.

Reflecting on the three pillars of good living—Sleep Well, Move More, and Eat Right—it becomes evident that sleep serves as the cornerstone. Without it, the delicate balance among these pillars falters. This week, I failed to meet the fundamental requirement of sweating for at least an hour daily and lost track of my one-meal-a-day routine.


It's time to recalibrate my priorities, with sleep taking precedence. The challenge lies in resetting my sleep schedule to embrace the night's tranquility. Currently, my sleep pattern resembles a reverse chronicle; I find myself alert as a Barn Owl when the stars take center stage.

The 5:00 am exercise routine, once a ritual, has become a missed opportunity. Immersed in deep thoughts during the early hours, the window for physical activity slips by unnoticed.

Discovering the intricate link between sleep and meal routines was an eye-opener. The consequence of sleep deprivation leaves me ravenous around 10:00 am, turning my world topsy-turvy. Momentum, a precious commodity, slipped away faster than anticipated.

A reboot is inevitable. The process involves a meticulous evaluation of work priorities, recognizing that certain commitments must be tapered off to reclaim the luxury of timely sleep. It's a daunting task, but a necessary one to restore balance to the three pillars of well-being.

Lesson learned: The value of sleep transcends its role as a nightly respite; it is the linchpin that holds the structure of a balanced life together. As I navigate this journey, the wisdom gained will guide me toward a more harmonious existence. Here's to the pursuit of balanced living, one recalibration at a time. 🌙💤

Sleep Well, Key to Wellness.

In the dance of time, a tale unfolds,
A nocturnal saga, its secrets untold.
Sleep, the elusive key, now must be sought,
For in its embrace, true wellness is brought.

Morning walks abandoned, a sleepless night's toll,
The pillars of well-being yearning to be whole.
Sleep well, move more, and eat just right,
Yet without rest, they crumble in the night.

A week unfolds, a challenging quest,
The minimum hour of sweat, unmet, a jest.
One meal a day, lost in the moon's glow,
Sleep's absence cast shadows, dark and low.

Priority whispers, a truth to unveil,
To sleep well, the three pillars regale.
Reset the schedule, let night be thy guide,
In the afternoon, let the dreams reside.

Once the dawn's chorus, a workout's sweet hum,
Now a melody is lost, as the mind does succumb.
Engrossed in thoughts at the hour so early,
The rhythm of exercise fades, almost burly.

Mealtime arrives, a ravenous call,
At 10:00 am, a hunger befalls.
Topsy-turvy the world, momentum slips,
In the absence of sleep, a balance eclipse.

Reboot the routine, a formidable task,
Reevaluate priorities, and remove what won't last.
Taper commitments, let sleep reclaim,
The throne of the night, in wisdom's name.

Lesson learned in the night's tender grace,
Sleep well, the linchpin, the anchor in space.
In the pursuit of balance, a recalibration art,
Wellness unfolds, guided by sleep's tender heart.

Avoir!
