@Rainmaker1973 Choose your hard.

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

@hea63787 @Rainmaker1973 Good catch. Had to rewatch the video and do a quick Google to confirm. I was on the USS George Washington as an electronics tech for about 3 years.

@WABubenicek @jockowillink @PeteHegseth would be proud!💪😊👍

"Man in the Middle"/"Scapegoat" syndrome. Once you stand above the crowd, you will attract more blame/projection from everyone who isn't taking full responsibility for themselves. They will blame you for all their problems and project all their own failings and flaws onto you. That's simply the nature of current (immature) human culture. In addition, every ego-possessed person is looking for reasons to be unhappy, and people to blame (other than themselves) for their consequent unhappiness! "Click-clack" "patterns-patterning" and little true consciousness in any of it! Don't be drawn in as that is at least half the battle lost already!

@jockowillink Been getting back into (nearly) every morning exercise for the past couple of months now, even after I got sick with a spring cold. Focusing on building strength for all the work I have ahead in developing my property. 💪😊👍

@lexfridman I'm with the "Genies"! @waitbutwhy

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

After reading @waitbutwhy Tim Urban's book "What's Our Problem?..." I just want to say: Anyone who wants to be part of a "Genie" I will support. If you're more inclined to being part of a "Golem" I encourage you to understand the difference between "high rung" and "low rung" thinking and consider "leveling up"! 💪😊👍

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

If you haven't read Tim Urban's book, "What's Our Problem?" you might want to consider it. He takes some time to show how the media is used to reinforce the narratives of the respective "tribes" in our society. And that generally applies to All of them, not just the left. He also encourages Everyone to keep their discussions on the "high rungs" (using the capacities of the prefrontal brain) rather than the "low rungs" where the "primitive brain" is in charge. We need more "Genies" not "Golems".

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

In general I agree with "Lock the Clock." Maybe what also needs to happen is a work culture shift that allows people more opportunity to get that 15 minutes of early morning and late afternoon sunlight. Granted, if you're working on an assembly line, that may not be possible, but I'd say there may be enough flexibility in a lot of other jobs to make that an allowable "break time" for many.

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

@hubermanlab @LaraWeed @StanfordMed Given my current situation, I would prefer Daylight Savings time, but I can understand why others might feel differently. I now have to take one of my "15 minute breaks" first thing in the morning so I can drink my tea and watch the sun come up, after I'm already at work.

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

I work at a government (Corps of Engineers) office that is generally open from 7 am to 5 pm. I work 8 hour days (8.5 with a half hour lunch break). I have stayed on the same sleep schedule (Daylight Savings) the last two or three years (I forget when I started this) by shifting my work schedule by 1 hour rather than resetting my sleep patterns. I live near the boundary of the Central and Eastern time zones in Kentucky. I do not have children so that helps. I think everyone is affected by these changes differently as it kind of matters how close you are to the edge of a time zone.

Good Morning, Everyone! Sharing a breakthrough moment from my cold shower this morning. After listening to this @hubermanlab podcast on Dopamine https://t.co/GpOqjnJ3qt I got to thinking what could I do to make my body think it was enjoying the discomfort of my cold shower, besides just telling myself it was a good thing? So...I decided to start Smiling 😁! At first it was more like a grimace, but I persisted. I know forcing a smile can actually make you start to feel happy, and it definitely did in my case! No blood work to confirm, but I bet my dopamine is higher now than it would have been with just the cold shower.💪😁👍🥶🚿 #coldshower #dopamine #smilethroughthepain

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

@jockowillink Looks like you're getting ready to do some traveling. What's the best way for us to continue the dialogue?

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

@jockowillink I have recently been in email dialogue with our Deputy District Commander, for USACE Louisville, LTC Guandique (Gwan-deh-key), concerning the need to teach Risk Management principles at an earlier age. It's very telling as the day's district news included multiple articles on an elementary school remodel/reopening at Ft. Knox, and a brief article on a serious boat collision on Nolin Lake resulting in two fatalities and multiple other injuries. LTC Guandique's initial thought was "we need to teach the parents," but then I told him about your "work around" teaching Extreme Ownership principles directly to children through your Warrior Kid series. On behalf of LTC Guandique, I'm reaching out to see if you would be interested in doing something similar for teaching Army Risk Management principles through children's books? My feeling is that instead of overprotecting children by trying to tell them what to do and not do as it relates to their safety, it might be better to get them thinking for themselves, and asking the right questions about "What might happen if...?" and "What can I do to make 'x' less likely to happen?" And if that becomes automatic for them at a young age, then hopefully they will continue to think that way as teenagers and adults. It's been a while since I read the first few Warrior Kid books. The copies I had ended up with my Vet for him and his son and I've never gotten them back! So I may have missed an inclusion of these strategies in Marc's life. Feel free to remind me/reference them if they are there. Otherwise, if you're interested in collaborating on this project, or maybe know someone else who might be able to help, LTC Guadique felt you had an established reputation that might have more pull for introducing these topics to the public through chidren's books and that might be more powerful than something coming from "the US Army"! 🤔😉 Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. V/R Lori Bell

@jockowillink Good Morning, Jocko. When you get a minute, please look for a Facebook Message from me. Or engage here. I have a potential writing project I'm trying to coordinate between you and our Deputy Commander here at the Louisville District US Army Corps of Engineers. Thanks! 🙏😊👍

[Lori Bell @loribell100]

@rich_grothaus Thanks, Rich! Only so many hours in the day!😜

Hi, Everyone! Happy Summer! 🌞 I know it has been a while since I've posted. Here's an update: 1) I decided to buy an electric bike. First, it came in a step-through model that puts less stress on my bad knee when mounting. Second, the amount of help I get from the battery is variable, so I can ride normally, or get more assistance going up hills, etc. as needed. So it's about perfect for transitioning from years of not riding. Three, it's becoming my shuttle as I have work done on my micro-bus and Subaru. 2) I completed my Permaculture Design Certification course with an analysis and design for my property in Knifley, KY. (More about that in another post.) 3) In addition to working on the Knifley property, I have been doing a little gardening "on the side" of the garage where I live as well. 4) I have new baby box turtles hatching, four most recently, and potentially three more on the way. Picture shows 9 month old "Uno" checking out siblings "Dos, Tres, and Quatro" with "Cinco" joining today.😉 5) Work for the Corps continues to be challenging, but...drumroll please...the original permanent Office Administrator is Finally Back as of June 20th! 2 years and 8 months since he deployed with the National Guard for a "one year tour". 😜 (For some reason the story of Gilligan's Island keeps coming to mind.🤔😂) Needless to say, I am staying bizzzzee, thus the lack of presence here on Twitter! I still tune in once in a while though and here's hoping all is well with my friends and followers here!☮️😊
