CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Life is too short to get upset about stupid little annoyances in our lives. I have been working on this the past 6 months and my wife says I’m sweeter to her. I can tell we are closer and more loving when I’m not always trying to educate and correct her. She is my best friend and not identical to me. If I accept her as she is we lead a much happier life with a tight relationship.

MOLESKIN:
Thanks to locals for showing me around the park on a recon ruck. Nice place you got! Wall ball did some marathon training instead of the beatdown, but we enjoyed his mumblechatter when he passed by.

Understand this my dear brother and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

I have a tendency to just hear and not listen and sometimes my knee-jerk reaction is anger or saying something hurtful that I don’t really mean. Instead I try to keep my mouth shut and think about what was said and where that person is coming from and my reactions tend to improve.

Proverbs 17:28

Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

We all need to think before we speak.

As Hammy put it: Better to be silent and let them think you a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We only did about half of the crazy stuff I had planned. As you can tell my mind was all over the place. The average human has an eight-second attention span–less than that of a goldfish. That number has shrunk over the years due to our digital connectedness and the fact that the brain is always seeking out what’s new and what’s next. Focus is a muscle, and you can build it. It’s possible to set up an environment that fosters focus. Here are eight tips for eliminating distractions and paying attention to what you need to do:

  1. PREPARE YOUR BRAIN

Before a task, calm your brain.

  1. UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR FOCUS NEEDS TO BE

Taking time to identify what deserves your focus for the year, for the month, for the week, and for the day.

  1. UNPLUG FOR 30 MINUTES

If you need to focus, log out of email and social media.

  1. GRAB SOME COFFEE

French physiologist Astrid Nehlig identifies a connection between caffeine and cognition.

  1. CHECK THE THERMOSTAT

If it’s too hot or too cool in your environment, it could impact your focus.

  1. TURN ON SOME MUSIC

Having music playing helps you focus on your own thoughts.

  1. TAKE SHORT BREAKS

Vigilance decrement is losing focus over time. Taking a short break in the middle of a long task reenergizes the brain.

  1. DOODLE

Doodling aids in cognitive performance and recollection.
