I was talking to a friend of mine at the gym in between walking from machine to machine, and we were talking about how nobody really gets to talk and get to know each other at the gym. There are a few women in the early a.m. hours that I come, and we all inspire…

Bychronicradiance October 6, 2022

Before my hand hits the gas, because my foot can’t exactly hit the gas, I sit here and eat an apple to cure my body, and my mind. I realize that the best time of my day for awareness and making things happen is between three and four in the morning. I can sit quietly…

The Atomic Habit for My Mobility Challenged Crew

Bychronicradiance September 18, 2022

Over the past couple of months I’ve really been trying to get it down to the atomic habit, like the James clear bestseller I read that changed my life. It absolutely made it a more effective way for me to look at how to be affective and less risk for falling or hurting myself or…
