My son's homemade ramen
Today's practice to change the world is simple and immediately actionable:
EAT
Your day gets busy, you skip lunch, you probably skipped breakfast, too. By 1:00 you are depleted, tired, and crabby. That's because your brain is starving. Your body lacks energy.
We need you at 100% in whatever you do with your day. Solving complex engineering problems needs food. Managing human relationships needs food. Parenting children of any age definintely needs food.
Energy bars don't cut it. Coffee is not breakfast. Popcorn doesn't count as dinner.
Your brain and body need real food. A few years ago, I realized that I get so absorbed in coaching that I forgot to eat lunch. My goals for that year included "eat lunch everyday." That's not a lofty, glamorous goal and eating lunch everyday created profound change.
So, put down this newsletter and eat.
Then do it again tomorrow and this weekend and forever.
Have a great weekend!
