Full transcript here đź‘‹ Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.
The word for today is support. What are some difficult areas of your life? [pause] For me, sleep has become increasingly problematic. It’s certainly not the simple affair that it was when I was 20 or younger. This has caused me to look for sleep supports. My wife laughs when I get ready for bed, because I look like I’m getting dressed for some strange sport. Carpal tunnel wrist splints, a left elbow splint, an anti-grinding mouth guard, a knee pillow that looks like an inflated sideways knee pad, an oversized sleep mask, socks, and sometimes a little silicone nasal passage opener are my uniform for sleep. These supports may seem like overkill, but I feel it when I don’t use them. Author Ben Greenfield lays out all the things he’s tried to increase his sleep quality in his book, Boundless. Spoiler alert: It’s way more than me! Think back to your answer to a difficult area of your life. What’s one support that you could try to find out if it increases your quality of life by even 1%? Speaking of small changes, tomorrow, we’ll look at tiny, incremental improvement and why it’s valuable.
Today’s concrete challenge is to write down your difficult area of life and one support that you’d like to try. Here’s an example. If you have difficulty waking up in the morning try supporting your wakefulness by moving your phone or alarm to a spot where you have to walk to turn it off. You could also have coffee auto-brew, as mentioned in a previous episode.Â
If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will write and try one support for a problem area in my life.”
I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.
Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who is willing to try a change.”
Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today.
Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
