Spring Forward Fun!
Greetings Friend!
Welcome to the month of SPRING FORWARD!
Sunday, March 10th is the crazy day we do a number on our bodies Circadian Rhythm. Often referred to as the “body clock,” the circadian rhythm is the 24-hour cycle that tells our bodies when to sleep, rise, and eat—regulating many physiological processes.
Your circadian rhythm is basically an internal clock that is running in the background of your brain and cycles between sleepiness and alertness at regular intervals. It’s also known as your sleep/wake cycle.
For many of us, the annual “Spring Forward” is another way of saying–get ready for a few days of a crazy sleep cycle! Right?!! Who comes up with this stuff!
Speaking of random life philosophies, I am betting big time that you know you’re Enneagram number!! Its kind of the “buzz” around social media these days. It seems everyone is quoting her Enneagram “NUMBER”!
Have you heard of it?
Because of my high level of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), I dug into this new concept and had to see what the buzz was about. After taking the test online, I discovered with fascination (insert tongue into cheek) that I am a 2/3 with a high 7 tagging along.
If you, like me, suffer from FOMO and have never taken the Enneagram Test, allow me to lead you into the light, with this link to a free online test.
Honestly, a fascination with personality typing and study is not new to me. In fact, in my book Life Unstuck: Finding Peace with Your Past, Purpose in Your Present and Passion for Your Future, I actually used a deeply loved study from one of my mentors, Florence Littauer, to create my own version of a Personality Profile called A Garden of Personality. I love this stuff.
Again–to help you avoid Spring FOMO–here is a link to MY version of this hot topic of “who am I really?!”!
