Starting the weekend off right

Shoulders, back and tricep workout smashed

Refuelling with some eggs and sourdough

Using the weekend to build momentum

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

Your brain runs on a work reward loop.

Set goals too big = no reward = motivation dropping.

Set goals you can hit = win = dopamine = momentum.

Most people skip this.

They aim too high, too early,
with no belief to back it.

Start smaller
Stack wins
Build from there

There’s a reason a walk in nature feels different.

Cities are visually structured

Straight lines, uniform buildings, constant stimulation.

Your brain stays in a focused, slightly stressed state.

Nature is less ordered.

Trees
light
movement

Nothing perfectly straight, nothing demanding.

Your attention relaxes instead of being forced.

Stress drops
Clarity returns

That’s why a walk in nature feels on another level

Breakfast of champions

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

Fruit till noon =

Light digestion
Low cortisol
Steady energy
Clear focus

Feels like fasting….

Without actually fasting

@DocAbirHealth Hilarious 🤣

@timpjohansson Crazy night and day difference

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

Spent some time in the Cotswolds viewing some properties this week.

Easily one of the nicest places in the UK.

I’ve always loved Italy and Spain for the pace of life

The calm, the simplicity, the way people live, good quality of life

But you can feel that same energy here

Made me realise you don’t need to leave the UK to find it

First drink of the year

Always do the first 3 months sober and couldn’t recommend it more

Resets your alcohol tolerance

Reinforces the fact you don’t need to rely on it to socialise

Sets you up for a focused start to the year

Now I’ll enjoy my red wine and tequila

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

First session in 2 weeks where I’ve actually been able to train properly

Feels good to be back

Shoulders and back, favourite session of the week

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

Post gym refuel

Dates
Apple
Honey
Mango
Clementine
Black coffee
Coconut water

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

What a start to the day

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

@orbolico Nice man, I do honey plus a bit of salt 🤌

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

Watermelon + Salt = elite level hydration

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

Most people fill every quiet moment with noise

Music
Podcasts
Distractions

Try walking or sitting in silence instead

You’ll literally feel your cortisol returning to baseline

[Joe Ctx @JoeCtx]

A walk before work is a nonnegotiable

Clear the mind before doing focused work
