The Heat of the Matter

We’re into the deep heat of summer now — the part of July where the afternoons turn thick and slow and the smart move is to do your hardest thinking in the morning. There’s a reason the old timers planned their days around the heat. The body knows things the calendar doesn’t.

This is a good Wednesday lesson, actually. Work with the conditions, not against them. When it’s hot, slow down. When your energy is low, do the low-energy things. When the world is telling you to ease off, ease off. You’ll get more done at the right pace than you will by forcing a summer afternoon to behave like a crisp October morning.

Do the Wednesday Check-In, but make it physical today. How’s your energy? Are you drinking enough water? Are you pushing when you should be coasting? Adjust accordingly. The heat is an instruction.

Work with the conditions, not against them. The heat is an instruction.

How can you work with your natural energy today instead of fighting it?
