Is there anything that is inhibiting the quality of your sleep?

Mine has been drinking coffee too late in the day.[ lacking boundaries sometimes in respect to time - conversations, associations, etc... Respect Your Time. Respect Rest, Knw what externally and internally impacts you. Pace Yourself. Change Habits.

12/09/20 Check in - it's working. Watching my 'solar plexus' aka abdominal area/digestion, watching my caffeine in take after a certain time of day roughly 4-6 hours before I go to bed; watching my gluten in regards to what my small and large intestine can take at a time so I have been eating gluten free and experiencing less digestive issues. Will introduce in moderation.

Certain level of sugar is acceptable in the afternoon around 2-3 so it gives me energy to perform some form of exercise that is complimentary to morning routine.

Reset: New Baseline, Intuitive Eating

I think I can eat less but with more calorie density rather than less calorie density and eat more. Not outside as much because of the shorter days and working with my work schedule.

I think so right now this is my 'order.' Health - Fitness Creativity - Where am I right now? Where do I want to go? How do I get there? Finances - I used tp work for a small company/family business that used to have their accountant come in once a week and sit with the family to go over their finances, the health of the company.
