Blue light, as you probably have heard, comes naturally from the environment, comes from the sun. But it also comes from staring at screens, or fluorescent lights overhead, or anywhere else in your household. The problem with this blue light is that it really can disrupt our circadian rhythm.
Now, our circadian rhythm is the body’s natural biological clock. One of the problems with this is not only causing strain on the eyes, but it also disrupts sleep patterns. And if you read studies, most people, especially in the U.S., have horrible sleep patterns. We don’t get the recommended seven, eight, nine hours of sleep a day.
The 5 To Thrive is something that I base all my coaching on. I’ve been coaching and doing personal business development for many years. I’ve been doing it since I was in high school and am in my 40s now, so you can do the math.
But, what I’ve learned is there are five key elements to a holistic and successful life.
Now, back in middle school I started reading fitness magazines and health magazines that my dad had lying around and I used to cut these articles out and one of the things that I read about was upon waking up, drink a solid glass of water (eight ounces or more) first thing in the morning.
Back then even, I started adding that to my routine and saw big benefits. I saw that when I hydrated myself I just felt better throughout the day. Now, then I didn’t know why and it wasn’t until college studying physiology that I actually understood the health benefits of it. That’s also when I started adding lemon to my water in the morning, mainly for the benefit of alkalizing my blood levels.
Now, for years I’ve been an entrepreneur, actually for decades, and one of the things that I keep seeing over in the personal development of business development field is getting up early and the value.
We’ve heard the old axiom “the early bird gets the worm”. But what cost is that? Now, during my career I’ve really focused on getting up early, whether it be for the fitness industry when I owned a gym or for just the entrepreneurial lifestyle – owning a business and wanting to get up before everyone else did so I could be as productive and get ahead of the curve.
