Non-Sleep Deep Rest Protocols and Yoga Nidra

December 17, 2023

Fit and Strong, Mental Health

In a recent podcast episode with Diane Allen we discussed some Non-Sleep Deep Rest protocols and I talked briefly about practicing Yoga Nidra with some guided meditations which features a body scan. I find this practice deeply relaxing and helps me focus when I am awake. To be honest, I often fall asleep while practicing, which kind of messes up the whole "non-sleep" part of the program. Even so, I always find this very beneficial, especially when I am overly tired, stressed and need more calm and focus in my life.

Ending the Year with a Goal

December 4, 2023

5K, Fit and Strong, Motivation, Running

Here it is, early December of 2023, and I’m thinking about ending the year with a goal. People usually focus on setting goals for the new year and I’m sure I’ll do that too but I thought it would be best to set a goal for the end of the year. That way I can end the year strong and move into the new year feeling like I can do more. I signed up for a local 5K being held in the afternoon of New Year’s Eve day, i.e., December 31. I haven’t run a race since the Towpath half marathon I ran in October 2021. That’s over two years ago, which seems like a really long time. We were still following pandemic protocols so the race...
