We can perform at our peak if we aren’t putting on a show.

Social media can be so fake, no matter which direction you look at it. It is mainly made up of followers — all puns intended.

This has been on my mind.

My morning walks are my favorite thing I have ever committed to. My second favorite is writing here for you on Medium each day. These morning walks are best with no one in my ear. My complete focus on myself, my breath, my thoughts, and nature.

My life is busy and chaotic. I rarely have time to think. I am just doing it. But the revelations and growth I have found in the last seven days feel like weeks or months.

Being along with yourself is the best first gift you can give yourself.

The second best gift is that sunshine.

Did you know the first 45 minutes of sunlight are the best moments of the day for your mind and body? Below, I have outlined how…

  • Circadian rhythm regulation: Exposure to sunlight in the morning helps regulate your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, which can improve sleep quality and daytime alertness.

  • Vitamin D production: Sunlight stimulates the production of vitamin D in your body, which is essential for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. The amount of vitamin D produced depends on factors like skin pigmentation, age, and the amount of skin exposed.

  • Mood enhancement: Sunlight exposure can increase the release of serotonin, a hormone associated with boosting mood and helping you feel calm and focused.

  • Eye health: Getting outdoor light exposure during the day can help prevent myopia (nearsightedness) progression, especially in children.

I really want to perform at my peak.

I am a listener of many authors. One of my favorites is Robin Sharma. He just released a book, The Wealth Money Can’t Buy. In chapter 143, he tells you to Go Ghost for a Year.

If we are fixated on presenting ourselves to the world, performing at our peak is impossible.

I am getting lost in my thoughts right now, and I don’t know how or what to put to paper, but…

I wish I could find my people — the ones who read biographies or business books, work more than they should, but do it because they love their family passionately, have goals and ambitions bigger than them, know Christ, meditate on decisions, seek growth, and find answers. The ones that want to be their best and seek the best.

If you want to change your life, you should spend the first moments of every day alone in a morning routine. If you have been following along, you know the one I established 7 days ago, but if you are new, it has gone like this…

0. GO TO SLEEP ON TIME (10ISH — 5:50 AM M-F. SLEEP IN 1 HOUR SATURDAY AND 2 HOURS SUNDAY)

  1. WRITE // BE WITH GOD

  2. EAT

  3. IMMEDIATELY WALK 30+ MINUTES OUTSIDE AT OR BEFORE SUNRISE

  4. BE PRODUCTIVE (EMAILS OR BUSINESS PLANNING)

  5. SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY

If you want to improve your mornings, I recommend Googling S.A.V.E.R.S. by Hal Elrod. He wrote a book called Miracle Morning. It is a very simple book and concept. I will share what the acronym stands for below…

S — Silence

A — Affirmations

V — Visualization

E — Exercise

R — Reading

S-Scribing (Writing)

I am not perfectly fitting them all in right now, but I firmly stand behind all six.

I have walked 99,319 steps and over 44 miles in the last seven days. I am so proud of my week of commitment. This week (Wednesday morning — Sunday morning) will be a little more complicated since I will be out of town and in a downtown (not as safe as where I live). But no excuses. I am so excited to walk each morning.

The benefits I am getting are addicting. It is fun to be addicted to something healthy and multi-facetedly beneficial. Lol.

Okey doke. I want to listen more to Founders, my new favorite podcast, by David Senra.

More quotes I have written down:

We make ourselves; it is our responsibility.

Don’t do anything that someone else can do.

Learning from history is a form of leverage.

Sooo good.

Love you.

With love,

Jo
