One of the true joys of #MiddleAge: waking up at 4:30am because you worked out a little too hard yesterday, your body aches all over, and somehow that shit wakes you up 🤦🏽♂️

It’s not coincidental that one of my go tos for getting work done is listening to #DubTechno – a steady driving beat, no vocals, lots of staticky noise. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psychiatry-and-sleep/202305/adhd-white-noise-could-be-an-alternative-to-medication #ADHD #ADHDer #AdultADHD #ADHDTips #POSSE
Just shared this with my kids. It is good to know how long political things take when it seems like nothing is happening. It took Biden & his team 6 months to get through Mike Johnson’s skull. Politics & diplomacy are delicate processes and things are rarely as simple as we wish. This was simple vs how complex & multifaceted the situation with Israel, Iran, et al is. This is also why experience matters. Young pols might talk the talk but getting things done is a completely different ballgame. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/white-house-ukraine-funding-push/index.html
As is common with folks who have adhd, I find meditation to be extremely challenging. But this short segment by Andrew Huberman makes me a bit more intrigued than the usual ‘don’t think about anything’ that meditation seems to be. The idea of ‘watching’ my thoughts & feelings go makes more sense than what I’ve ready on how to meditate before (maybe I read just that and glossed over it).
