The Three "F"s

Meet Sally. She gets 5 hours of sleep per night (at most) and while she KNOWS she needs to get more, she uses her go-to excuse, “I don’t have time to get more sleep. I’m just too busy!”

But are you really, Sally? 🤔

Sally is up at 4:45am to get to her 5:30am @ her class. She works from 7:30am-5:30pm, but doesn’t go to bed until 11:45pm. Why? She just can’t say no to her favorite shows and some pre-bed IG scrolling.

Let’s assess Sally’s decision to stay up late and her subsequent lack of sleep into three critical components:

👩🏼FRAME ❓Is spending an extra 2 hours and 45 minutes watching TV and scrolling IG benefiting her as a person? Is it enhancing her physically or emotionally?

🚫🙅NOPE! In fact, her lack of sleep is making it so her immune system is suppressed and she’s sick, regularly, and it’s what’s also holding her back from losing the weight she’s been desperately trying to.

👭FAMILY ❓Is spending an extra 2 hours and 45 minutes watching TV and scrolling IG benefiting her interpersonal relationships? Making her a better friend, co-worker, daughter, sister?

🚫🙅🏼‍NOPE! In fact, her lack of sleep is causing her to be snappy and irritable with those around her, and her interpersonal relationships as suffering because of it.

💵FINANCE ❓Is spending an extra 2 hours and 45 minutes watching TV and scrolling IG benefiting her career and financial situation? Bringing her more money? Moving her closer to a promotion at work?

🚫🙅🏼‍NOPE! In fact, her lack of sleep is causing her productivity at work to diminish. She has trouble staying awake through the work day, she suffers from brain fog, and she’s actually spending more money on coffee to keep her up.

Don’t be Sally.

The next time you decided to do or not to do something, I challenge you to ask yourself, “Will this benefit me in terms of FRAME, FAMILY, or FINANCE?”

Call yourself out. Cut the💩. And most of all, quit making decisions and doing things that don’t serve you.

I was a Sally this week 🙄😔
