30 Day Sleep and Fun Challenge Day 4: Support Your Adrenals and Decrease Fatigue
Wow. What a day. I’ve been in sessions all day, and didn’t get to post my commitments for today until now.
It’s quite interesting for me…making a public commitment to go to sleep. It has really been driving my late night behavior. Last night it was particularly tempting to just ignore the commitment and work late, as I had lot to do. Yet I would have felt really bad having to post that I went to bed at 3 when I committed to 12.
I did a class on adrenal health last night for my online program, Balance My Body Blueprint. It was a great reinforcement for me to teach everyone about the importance of breathing, sleep and having fun. I’ve been focused on breathing and appreciation all day and I love how it feels. This activity can ease the burden your adrenals and alleviate fatigue.
So here’s my report card for yesterday:
- Exercise: 2:30 – 3:30 get out for a run and do a few weights – I did this at 4:30. It was a beautiful day and i had a great time.
- Fun break: 9:30 PM – after my Balance My Body Blueprint teleseminar call on Balancing Adrenals – I am afraid this was a flop, unless you count cuddling with my 11 year old…which I think is fun.
- Off computer by 11:30, in bed by 11:45, lights out before midnight. I was off computer by 11:27. My 11 year old was troubled by some school events and needed cuddle time with Mom, so I lay with him in his bed, dozing, until I went to my own bed, lights out by 12:15! Great accomplishment!
And here’s my commitment for today:
- 64 ounces smoothie/green soup
- Off computer by 11PM
- Sauna 30 minutes
- Bed by 11:30
- Fun reading for 15 minutes
- Lights out between 11:45 and 12.
How did you do yesterday? What are your commitments for today? Comment below.
Enjoy!

30 Day Sleep and Fun Challenge: Day 2
I am excited by all the enthusiastic response to the 30 Day Sleep and Fun Challenge and Daily commitment to Health! Making commitments to others and publicly declaring them seems to be so motivating and helps you get in touch with what really matters.
Last night I made it to the bedroom by midnight and lights were out by 12:15. My husband came in at 12:30 and said I was sound asleep! Not 100% there yet close, and I’m excited by it. Remember, instead of beating yourself up if you came close to a commitment, applaud yourself for getting close and strengthen your commitment to get even closer. Use it as an opportunity to reflect on what you could do to get even closer.
My commitments for today:
1- Shut down the computer no later than 11:30, lights out by midnight
2- drink 2 quarts of green smoothie. I have already had 1
3- Exercise for at least 30 minutes
FOR Fun: Water color paint for 5 minutes (ok, lame, but 5 minutes is easy. It will likely be longer)
What are you committed to? Post below.
Love, Health and Joy to you,
Dr. Ritamarie
