Gratitude.
So good for you and it can help you sleep better too.
This study found those who were more grateful had more positive and less neg pre-sleep thoughts which made it quicker to fall asleep.
#HappyThanksgiving to all my 🇺🇸 family and friends!

Effort is life’s greatest equalizer. Be good at the things that require no talent and you will have success. "Remember when you were a child and it was so easy to get excited for the most mundane of things. Find that enthusiasm" #FearlessMotivation

Nutrition coaching is different than just speaking about nutrition. Nutrition coaching is specific to the individual, it recognizes that the athlete has unique dietary, nutritional, and psychological requirements. It is not a one size fits all approach and takes reinforcement.

Based on the IOC paper just released journals.humankinetics.com/d… Folks at GELITA falsely claim we endorsed collagen as a protein nutraingredients-usa.com/Pro… That's absolutely and categorically 100% false. Collagen has a protein quality score of 0.0 #FakeNews

Maya Angelou has been a constant inspiration and guiding influence in my life. Today, on her birthday, I’m honoring her words and her courage: "Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.”

Many pro athletes make Sports Center highlights despite poor nutrition and training guidance. Eventually good genes, hard work and high skill levels aren’t enough to make up for shaky nutrition and training.

A good read on orthorexia - an over obsession with healthy or clean eating. There are a lot of good approaches to eating here - but when it rules your life there is a problem. globalnews.ca/news/4102678/c…
