Who likes wearing bathrobes? Especially thick, white ones and on holiday?

Cannot remember when I was able to do a split? Did it happen one day from

💫improved flexibility?
💫better strength?

Perhaps all of the above. 💫

Love being silly - my quirky self.

Early morning movement with the sound of nature - specifically brown noise here - in the background, feels oh so therapeutic for the body.

Excerpt from ‘s newsletter on:

💫Get the Background (Sounds) Right for Optimal Work Output💫

“Some people like to work in silence, whereas others prefer background noise. Some kinds of background noise are particularly good for our work output. Working with white, pink, or brown noise in the background can be good for work bouts of up to 45 minutes but not for work bouts that last hours. So, use it from time to time. These are easy to find (and zero-cost) on YouTube or in various apps (search by “white, pink, or brown noise”).

Binaural beats are a neat science-supported tool to place the brain into a better state for learning. As the name suggests, binaural beats consist of one sound (frequency) being played in one ear and a different sound frequency in the other ear. It only works with headphones. Binaural beats (around 40 Hz) have been shown to increase certain aspects of cognition, including creativity and may reduce anxiety. The exact mechanisms are still under investigation, but the effects are impressive. I review the data in detail here. 40 Hz binaural beats can be found in various apps, many of which are zero-cost.”

Who can relate to the struggles in getting the setup right? Like I said in the previous post, the sun was so bright in Italy. I really couldn’t see what the camera was filming even with sunglasses on 😎 when trying to figure out the best position to place the iphone. But after landing, head down, did I see how wrong the angle the camera was facing😅

“Ingesting sufficient levels of omega-3 fatty acids is going to support healthy mood and even can act as an antidepressant. More than a dozen studies have shown that ingesting at least 1,000 mg per day of the EPA form of essential fatty acid is as effective as prescription antidepressants in relieving depression."

Here's the full clip:
