Well, folks. Here we are. We are already past the middle of January 2023. How many of you have started tackling your New Year’s resolutions?

Many of us have the right intentions, but then when reality hits, we start to falter. My gym will be packed for the first few months of the year, and then it will fall back to normal traffic. Why? Because everyone is gung-ho at the first of the year. Then folks begin to lose interest.

Besides health goals, you may have others. Maybe you want to write a book, learn an instrument, or any number of things. Why do people fail to achieve their goals? Procrastination. Why do we procrastinate? Why do we put off something that is good for us? In this video, you’ll find out. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I wish all of you well in 2023! If you found some things in this video that rang true for you, use that as you push forward with your goals. Sometimes we can make it easier by starting small. I have found that doing small things each day build to big achievements. Take reading, for example. Each year, I read about 50 books on average. I do this by literally reading a chapter a day. That’s it. That’s my formula. Don’t get me wrong, I actually read much more than that, but the goal is one chapter a day. Of course, when I say one chapter, I read one chapter in typically four or five books simultaneously. So, four or five chapters. Still, this doesn’t take much more than an hour.

Exercise can be tackled the same way. Start small. Do 5 minutes of exercise. That’s it. Once you’ve established the habit, increase the time you exercise. I realize many experts suggest 20-30 minutes a day, but frankly, doing something is better than doing nothing. Do some pushups, walk, or even participate in a sport you enjoy, like golf, tennis, racquetball, basketball, you name it.

Well, that’s it for today, folks. I hope you have a great Tuesday!

Until next time…

Kentucky got hit with what has been called “once in a thousand year flood”. We are getting ready to experience our first triple-digit heat wave. Are these just anomalies or is this a trend? Check out this Ted Talk on Extreme Weather and you be the judge.

I hope you enjoyed this short video. These videos from TedEd are all terrific. I hope you enjoyed it and learned something.

Have a great Tuesday, friends.

Until next time…

I was prompted to look for steel pans on Ted Ed today, because of the video short Google put up on their browser today, celebrating Steelpan.

After watching this video, I thought about Teflon. Here’s what TedEd has to say about Teflon. I hope you enjoy it!

Here’s a Wikipedia article on Steelpan. I think you’ll enjoy it. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelpan

Have a great Tuesday, folks!

It’s that time of year when we go to the beach, hang out by fire pits, get outside. For some of us, the summer months guarantee a sunburn. I’m very fair in complexion. I don’t tan. I burn, it flakes off, and I’m white again. Sunscreen is mandatory for me.

I hope you enjoy this video. There’s some good information in it. And for those who need a reason to do anything, this video explains the importance of sunscreen during these hot, summer months.

Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

Until next time…

Luckily I’ve never experienced one of these. I do have friends, readers, and family that have experienced them. My sister says it’s like someone is standing on your chest and you can’t breathe. My Dad has had panic attacks for most of his life, even though no one knew what they were at the time.

Take a look at this video. It will provide you with some terrific information.

Have a great Tuesday!

Until next time…

I am currently watching a three-part series on secret societies and really enjoying it. This motivated me to find a short video for you to watch. I hope you enjoy it.

For those of you who are interested, I have a subscription to Curiosity Stream. The $20 per year price tag is well worth it. So many informative shows, with a huge variety of topics to choose from. I am not an affiliate but really enjoy watching the shows here. I learn a truckload each time I watch a new show.

Have a great Tuesday, folks. Enjoy the short little video and we’ll see you again tomorrow.

Until next time…
