The other day I did a poor job of setting an example of how to resolve conflict between family members. I let my emotions get the better of me. What I should have done is focused on the things I could control. Such as how to strengthen relationships v be critical of them. – Dad

HRV measures the different intervals between your heartbeats over time. So while heart rate records your beats per minute (bpm), HRV tracks the variance in your bpm. In general, you want to see a higher HRV, which means that your body is more capable of adjusting to and recovering from stressors. It’s a sign that your nervous system is in good health and responsive to environmental demands. Low HRV, on the other hand, typically means that either the sympathetic or parasympathetic branch (usually the former) is dominating. This could indicate a lack of sleep, dehydration, or illness. HRV also tends to decline with age. – Maria Teresa

Today I attended a presentation of four entrepreneurs who each overcame a monumental challenge in their lives before achieving success. Those challenges individually were sexual abuse, alcoholism, drug addiction and attempted suicide. The lesson here is that we get to choose how we process extreme trauma. We can either lay down and let it steamroll us or we can use the experience as fuel and further our personal development. – Dad
