i’ve been neglecting my mental health lately (for the past year probably) and compensating for it by being extra diligent with my physical health, forgetting that physical health is only one piece of the puzzle and having excellent physical health doesn’t make up for having terrible mental health they say stress kills and turns out it’s not an exaggeration by letting stress build over the past year and doing nothing to address it, i’ve somehow caused my brain to forget how to see properly - some wiring between my brain and eyes have gotten tangled up or disconnected and my eyes have lost their ability to focus, which has led me to see double and affected my ability to drive, work, do some hobbies, and maintain a strong social life this has been going on all month and i’m finally starting to accept the reality of it and prioritizing my mental health, learning how to destress from the past year, and trying to restore my vision take care of yourselves & don’t neglect your mental health 💜

I've found doing the 4-7-8 breathe popularized by Dr Weil as soon as I lay down at night helps my mind incrementally relax right away and then continue to lead towards my mind slowing down. I've practiced it for stretches of time in the past and ended up stopping. This time I'm going to do the breath as soon as I'm ready to rest in bed so that it becomes part of my routine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8fjYPC-k2k

Another option to blue light blocking glasses for help slowing down in the evening is creating grayscale shortcuts on your phone and computer to quickly turn on|off as needed. I've started testing grayscale during the day too to see if it helps improve my focus.

I'm excited to offer public in-person yoga classes again. Since moving to Paris, I’ve focused mostly on the digital studio and private sessions—but now, with the community growing, it feels like the right time to gather weekly IRL. If you’re in Paris or passing through, you’ve got a place to land.

I'm experimenting with using grayscale on my phone to be more focused and reduce distractions The home screen button makes this easy to turn on|off Set this up on Android by creating a "Tap accessibility button" [1] for "Color correction" grayscale [2] [1]: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/7650693?sjid=17417461293191726844-NA [2]: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/11183305?hl=en&visit_id=638832693467991191-201091389&rd=1.

i didn't go to the gym at all last week 😇 decided to prioritize outside social time instead as we got some beautiful weather here in montreal! > wed: 12,000 steps, 30 min bike ride, and an evening picnic > thur: terrasse drinks and dinner > fri: @debbie arrived (!!), dive bar dinner & drinks, microbrewery pints, little tour around my neighbourhood > sat: 10,000 steps and a spa day with the ladies (ft. @joellelb) a little gutted my week 12 (aka wrapping up 3 months) is empty, but also not trying to be hard on myself for deciding to spend my time in other, still healthy, ways ☺️

<7 hours of normal sleep the past 2 nights is a good reminder of how much work parents do 🫡 - Last night my nephew passed out barely after the Titanic embarked (He's seen it dozens of times and still insists on watching). He woke up at 1:30 am with a cold and I'm not sure he went back to sleep. - I'm impressed I somehow patched 7 hrs together 1:30-4:30 am and 5:00-9:00 am - The night before I got 5.5 hrs because I went to bed too late on a school night
