Stacy is back from her Florida vacation feeling rested and well
Matt and Stacy got to visit Universal Studios, visit the Domestic Man's family, meet up with Summer from The Dirty Floor Diaries
Stacy was able to keep up with her handstand challenge while on the road
Consistency with commitments
This week Stacy and Sarah will discuss the importance of consistency and how we navigate consistency even when life presents challenges
Stacy's focus on not worrying over every little thing and how that supports her consistency
The fine line between maintaining a commitment and obsessing about it
Turning a commitment into something negative - an eating disorder is an example of this
Consistent health habits are very important, but if maintaining consistency is creating stress than you are not actually proactively working towards health
How can you be consistent in a sustainable way - how can I realign this plan to make it a lifestyle?
When you hit the wall with life - not just giving up and going off plan, but finding ways to adapt
How Sarah copes with high stress or feelings of fatigue so that she is able to maintain her health habits - it boils down to adapting to daily scenarios as needed
When you have a day and you don't necessarily adapt, but change plans all together - forgive yourself and move forward - form a new plan for the new day
Coming up with non food rewards when you accomplish goals with consistency
How to avoid being plagued by negativity when things don't always go according to plan
Science with Sarah (21:54)
Recent studies have shown that consistency in bedtime and waketwme are really important
A couple of different labs have looked at this in different ways
The more variability that we have in our bedtime and wake-time, and the more mismatch that we have between our schedule and our body's need for consistent bedtimes and wake-times, the worse the health outcomes
How Sarah has focused on consistency in bedtime and the sleep quality improvements she has seen as a result
When she needs flexibility in life she tries to get it from other areas, and keeps sleep as a top priority
Sleep doesn't come easy to Stacy, but how she still works to keep sleep a priority
Knowing your magic number for how many hours of sleep you need
Rejigging life for a focus on sleep to regulate hormones, regain focus, and increase efficiency
Stacy's research on "multitasking too much"
The power of sticking to one task or one top priority
The commitment to whatever your health philosophy/diet may be, it is interesting to recognize how we approach our diet and lifestyle choices is intertwined with how we approach life and how we find balance
A very special happy birthday to Matt!
