I can't say I'm a big fan of Huffington, but this quote really resonated with me today.

I like the personal stories shared about her / her mother and the family. Other than that, it‘s mainly all piled-up theories and quotes from other researches, books, and people...There are better and deeper writings on this topic of living fully with mindfulness and compassion out there...Shrugging
#BFCr3 weekly check in (a day late again)
I really struggled this week and was feeling very discouraged.
I have had a tooth ache and had an allergic reaction to something that had me down and out for a couple days.
4/7 workouts - I worked out only yesterday and today (2 each day) and walked in A. C. on Monday.
Vitamins most days, but with very bad nutrition
Not much reading; mostly in a Benadryl stupor.

Really enjoying this so far. The advise is really well backed up and this finally gave me the push to try Headspace which I‘d been on the fence about. This book doesn‘t talk about that app but it spends a good amount of time on meditation and mindfulness so it seemed apt to try a mindfulness app.

A compelling argument for getting more sleep, taking breaks from our ever-present screens, and staying more present with the people you love. I enjoyed the mix of personal stories and and easy-to-implement suggestions for making changes.
Although I have long admired Arianna Huffington, had a difficult time finishing this book. Arianna Huffington talks about a different way to measure success and calls it the Third Metric. There‘s four components to this metric- Well Being,Wisdom, Wonder, and Giving. During the first half i found the author repeating herself. The second part was much better! I particularly enjoyed her chapter about Giving. All in all, i recommend the book.
Didn‘t quite finish my book last night. Tonight I get to enjoy an adult beverage (with jolly ranchers), a soft candle, and since my eyes are a little tired I may use my magnifying book marker! Happy Friday night, everyone! #thrive #booksandbeer #bestwsytospendafridaynight #zima #magnifyerbookmark #lifeisgood #booksandbooze
I feel like I‘ve been reading this book forever, but I‘m going to get through it tonight! #thrive #thirdmetric #ariannahuffington
I really wanted to finish this book. The premise is amazing but after putting it down for a week and coming back to it for 40 minutes, I had to bail. The book was just too repetitive for me. I will take some of the components and incorporate them into my life, however.
Kinda bummed the thick accent makes it impossible to listen at 1.5X. But I did find this gem of a quote:
"If we don't redefine what success is, the price we pay in terms of our health and wellbeing will continue to rise."

Finally finished this one after a few months of reading it off and on. I needed a chart to keep up with all the metrics and sub-metrics, but I did glean some good information about well-being and preventing burn out.
Very appropriate reading when I'm sick and can't get anything on the to-do list done!
