I need the foundation of solid sleep & and early start. To reset my sleep clock; get tired, get to bed on time, wake early (6:00ish). NO NAPS! When getting tired:

• Get physical
• Stay actively engaged 
• Stay on my Feet

When learning to reduce reactivity/anger...Use DTE dog training methodology

Don't focus on the reactivity, create environment for success.

1. Establish who's in charge/Human
2. Obedience/Discipline
3. Job to do/Relieve pressure of being in charge

Using same approach for me:

1. Establish who's in charge/Pneuma/Calm Observer
2. Discipline: Meditation, Ego subservient to Calm Observer
3. Job to do: Observe, Let anger go. Be Here Now

Definition of pneuma:

1. in theology : Soul, Spirit specifically Holy Spirit: The adherents of these movements believe that the pneuma—Holy Spirit—plays a central role in their lives and their communities …— David Maxwell

2. in classical medicine : an invisible liquid or vapor held to travel throughout the body and to be necessary to and associated with life Pneuma, according to ancient Greeks and Romans, was a driving force in the body, necessary for maintaining bodily functions.— Judy Duchan

3. in Stoicism : a mixture of air and fire held to be the divine organizing principle of the universe.

Of the four elements, the Stoics identify two as active (fire and air) and two as passive (water and earth). The active elements, or at least the principles of hot and cold, combine to form breath or pneuma. Pneuma, in turn, is the 'sustaining cause' … of all existing bodies and guides the growth and development of animate bodies.— Dirk Baltzly 

The distinctive contribution of Stoicism, at any rate by the time of Chrysippus, was to extend the explanatory role of pneuma beyond individual animal life, and to make it the vital power of the world as a whole. … Pneuma is the vehicle of the divine 'reason' (logos) which pervades and governs the entire world …— David Sedley

Note: Also great song by Tool.
