I’ve been thinking for several days that you seem more focused than you were before you began the routine around the glucose. Do you suppose that your insulin is becoming more effective and that is having an impact?
I do.
For what it’s worth, I use scent as part of my writing ritual. Specifically, I light a bayberry scented candle. As I understand it, the sense of smell can bypass a lot of our conscious filers and stroke specific memories or emotions associated with that scent.
