Smash your face to drink less caffeine
I got a call from my kids' school a few days ago.
That's an "uh oh" moment. They never call unless somebody's got hurt.
And that remained true.
My daughter took a rough tumble during a foot race. Banged her head up pretty good.
She's fine. 'Twas but a kid-tumble, as they do if you allow them out of doors. Still not the kind of call you enjoy getting as Ol' Dad.
That's a first-hand lesson in how mental stress can be as debilitating as physical pain. A lesson I've taught for over a decade now.
Such misfortunes can be a gift in disguise, believe it or not.
But it all depends on you.
I wrote up a little piece over in Night's Gate today talking about this.
There's even some tips on putting it into action if you want to stop drinking so much caffeine.
