I am so ready for our extreme heat wave with extreme high dew points and high heat indexes to be over with!  Why?  It is affecting how I fly using Flylady Lessons  How extreme has our heat been in the midwest?  One farmer lost over 600 cattle due to heat exhaustion.  Despite fire trucks spraying water on the cattle to keep them cool.

I know all about heat exhaustion.  My first bout of it was when I was a teenager and went to Iowa to De-Tassel Corn.  They had to give me salt pills.  They say once you have experienced it, it is easier to get heat exhaustion again.

One evening Lily and I went on a short walkabout because I wanted to go so bad.  Yes, I was getting Cabin Fever due to the heat wave!  Now, I am looking at “hindsight”.  You know when you get 20/20 vision?  I haven’t recovered from it yet.  Prior to this walk I was feeling so great!

Am I going to give this walkabout up?  No Way!  It is just another adjustment in this journey.  What kind of adjustments will I do?  I have been thinking about this these past few days and haven’t gotten any answers I am ready to share with you.

What I will share with you is when I get those daily walkabouts in I found my flylady habits and routines were going soooo much better!!  I will tell you where it has benefited me the most.  It is has been in my “PERSPECTIVE” of Flylady.

This small amount of walkabout gets the blood and oxygen mixing and it makes the brain work better.  I found that when I am doing my walkabouts I drink more water, I make better food choices, and sleep better.
this all adds up to Great Flying Days!

What goes away? Perfectionism, procrastination, whining, and stinkin thinkin.  Let’s not forget our martyring ways.
I know I will find solutions once Lily and I go on a walkabout again.  And you can be sure I will write it down in my control journal.
