Title Change Coming Soon


I've come full circle, ready to share progress.

I still need an outlet to convey my ideas and what I am doing to try and be more productive on a daily basis.  I'm trying to detach and unplug from many social media apps and devices that easily hijack my time and attention.  I'm coming back to the blog because I can express thought and highlight progress without a "like" button.

When the pandemic was racing through Italy in early 2020, I made a decision to start researching several ways I can improve my health and immune system.  We did not know of any solution back in early 2020, other than to flatten the curve and keep hospital beds open, so I started reading books that could  potentially improve my overall health.  At the same time, I was let go from my job and decided to start my own firm.  Running my own firm was going to take a lot of time and energy, so this was also motivation to see how much I could improve my overall health.

I will be highlighting my reading list in this blog, but there are 4 areas I'm really focusing on that have contributed to continued weight loss, energy, clarity and motivation:

  1. Proper sleep
  2. Adequate nutrition (for me, insulin control through a low carb diet)
  3. Breathing
  4. Detachment from activities that give me an instant dopamine hit vs. activities that are productive
There could be other areas of focus as well.  I believe socialization is tremendously important, but I have a hard time dealing with unfounded ideas based on our primal need to belong to a tribe.  Anyway, this will be my outlet and I will gladly post how I progress.  My goal is to provide results.  I also am not going to say my way is the best way.  What I will say is I'm walking the walk.  

Bottom line, I'm excited to be writing in this blog again.
