We show others how we want to be treated.
Don't be:
• always available
• ok w/ limbo
• work for less
• ok w/ settling
• too accommodating
Show others your:
• time is valuable
• service is worth $$$
• personal life comes first
Do this in work, love, & life = your worth

The Real Reason You’re Unable To Write Interestingly in @mindcafemedia https://t.co/wkof9ZAUqP
Life's so weird, we hurtle through space on this tiny planet in a humongous universe at 67,000mph and we hardly ever think about that, because it all feels so big and important down here on the surface, and it is important but also it's a helluva ride
Any writing rule can be broken.
My rules for breaking rules:
I will do so when it is of strategic value. I endeavor to be thoughtful about it.
I will not break rules when it is convenient and easy, or because I don't feel like coming up with an original idea.
If you dread cold showers or a cold plunge first thing in the morning, you stand to benefit more, not less from the long lasting adrenaline & dopamine increase it triggers. No obligation; there are many other tools to select from. Avoid deliberate cold after workouts however.
I’m starting a new piece for a new book today. I’ve been excited about it.
Until today.
Today? It’s stupid, beating a dead horse, and let’s not forget boring.
Why will I plunge in anyway?
Because it has been tugging on my sleeve. It thinks only I can write it. It knows things.
