April 2026 will take a slightly different approach to the 30-Day Challenge. Each day of the month, I’ll be participating in the 30-Day Tai Chi Coach4aday Challenge. What will be different this time is that my daily posts won’t be limited to that day’s exercises—I want the freedom to share more spontaneous and wide-ranging thoughts along the way.
I will still include the focus of each day’s Tai Chi routine, but much of what I write may explore topics far removed from exercise. Just as Tai Chi is designed to improve flexibility, I hope my writing reflects that same sense of openness and adaptability each day. For Day Seventeen I’m going to reflect on a SUPERPOWER available to most of us.
“Tai Chi” 30 Day Challenge
Searching online for a 30-Day program brought me face to face with lots of options but I have chosen a plan led by Dr Alan Potts PT. You can download the schedule I am utilizing at this link.
It looks like this.

April 17th-Acquiring a Superpower
There are things that we can do for our bodies that are superpowers. Exercise, diet, mediation, and sleep.
There is a fantastic TedTalk by Dr. Matt Walker who is a brain/sleep scientist. He has shared his research on the importance of sleep on television and radio outlets including CBS’s “60 Minutes,” National Geographic, NOVA Science, NRP and the BBC. He also has a website called Sleep Diplomat.
In May of 2019 he did a presentation on SLEEP is your Superpower.
Take 18 minutes and watch it. It has been viewed over 6 Million times so you want be alone. As you watch the video you hear Dr. Walker say that research has proven that you need SLEEP after you learn and of course before you learn. He also points out how the lack of SLEEP produces all kinds of negative outcomes in our lives.
Tap into the superpower of SLEEP. You need it.
