I loved reading this-so much thought and analysis into your journaling. I've just started keeping an educational journal for my teaching days and have been more consistent with my personal writing. I'll take a look at the Huberman video too-I always find him pretty good to watch. Happy New Year when it comes :-)

I did the Tim Ferriss exercise and am really, really hoping that the Seattle Mariners make the playoffs again this year because those were some serious peaks 👍

I love this post so much. Clarifying for myself what is inside and outside my control really helps, and thank you for sharing Tim Ferris’s “Not to do” list— I totally agree with the power of taking email and social media off our phones to limit the number of times I check them. It’s really hard to keep them off though. I’ve deleted and reinstalled some apps so many times… similar to your experience of looking back on your journals and recognizing that the same stressors will always be there.

Thank you for sharing your reflections with us!

Thanks! I still struggle with keeping email and social media off my phone. I’m hoping to give it another go this year. We’ll see how it goes!

This new year I plan to pay attention to the things I can control instead of worrying about those I can’t.
