Today’s Easy Task: Forgive and allow the anger to dissipate
How to rock this task:
- Complete steps 1-3 of today’s task reading
Today's Devotional:
Today we will focus on unresolved resentment and abandonment. It’s interesting how rejection can make us physically and emotionally sick. It is even more interesting how if we constantly recall and re-experience stressful events, it will cause our body to tense and experience the stress again, which means we will not just experience the stress from that single occurrence, but experience the stress for multiple occurrences over a long period of time.
That why it is so important for us to express negative feelings and forgive others. Forgiving actually help heal our wounds and can be medicine to our body and soul. So the key to our healing...

Week 9: Resting
Today’s Easy Task: Go to bed few hours after sunset and wake up a few hours before sunrise
How to rock this task:
- Go to bed few hours after sunset
- Wake up a few hours before sunrise
Today's Devotional:
We have made it to day 59!
Today we are taking the steps to go to bed few hours after sunset and wake up a few hours before sunrise.
Since Jesus rose very early in the morning before sunrise to pray, we should follow His example (Mark 1:35). It is important that we wake up gradually and not suddenly, because it stimulates the body unnecessarily and causes side effects, such as headaches.
If we were to look at the animals and their wake up routine, we will notice that only the sick animals wake up after sunrise. If we are well, it’s a good idea for us to go to bed a few hours...

Hydration is very important. Hydration is so important that the bible says if we give a cup of water to God’s followers we shall receive a reward (Matthew 10:42).
Little hydration actually can make you sick. If your body drops 1% of hydration we can become naturally and physically impaired. Drinking half of our body weight is recommended by many professionals. We should avoid drinking water with meals, but instead drink water 1 hour before or 1 hour after meals. Also, we should...

Week 9: Resting
Today’s Easy Task: Sleep in 90 minute cycles
How to rock this task:
- Determine how many 90 minute cycles of sleep is needed to feel refreshed and rested
Today's Devotional:
Lack of sleep slows our mental sharpness when making decisions. Since sleep is in 90 minute cycles, we feel more refresh when we wake up at the end of our sleep cycle. So, 9 hrs., 7.5 hrs., 6 hrs. of sleep make us feel more rested.
There are many things that hinder our ability to sleep. One of the main culprits is leg cramps. Leg cramps are so painful, but there are things we can do to eliminate them. We can add more sesame seeds, almonds, and mixed greens to our diet. We can make sure we have enough of the right type of calcium that is easy to absorb in the body, which are calcium citrate and calcium...
