@elonmusk What if consciousness does exist in the forms that we cannot see or comprehend? What universe is designed in a way that consciousness exist in multiple forms and are not meant to find each other ever 🤔 @elonmusk

Breaking The Delusion to (begin) to see the nature of reality.

I spent a decade measuring everything.

Weight every morning
Food weighed to the gram
Heart rate monitor (on and off)
fasted blood sugar
postprandial blood sugar
Consistent blood draws

Here's what I learned👇

I lived with, carpooled, and shared an office with Dr. Trevor Kashey for a few years. He is one of the most brilliant people on earth. My current private doc, Dr Gabrielle Lyon is up there, too.

To be clear, when I say "what I have learned" I do not mean "what they told me".

They have both told me many brilliant things. I haven't had a chance to learn them all yet.

What I have learned are the things that I have done consistently and have experienced the consequences myself over a long period of time. I am speaking from my experience and on a time preference of 5-10 years, not 30-60 days.

1⃣ Prioritize.
"What kind of exercise should I do?"
It depends on why you are exercising. If you are exercising for catharsis, you should do whatever is most cathartic. If you are looking for catharsis and get stressed out by your overly rigid exercise schedule, you will likely burn out, fail and be MORE stressed.

If you're seeking a stress-relieving activity, don't let the activity you choose stress you out. Duh. If the thing serves its purpose in your life, it will get gone consistently and the results will follow due to that consistency.

This applies directly to business. The best strategy is the one you will consistently apply. The one you consistently apply will be the one that doesn't make the problem you are trying to solve worse.

2⃣ Stairstepping: MED and MRV: Minimum Effective Dose and Maximal Recoverable Volume.

It takes a tremendous amount of effort to make changes to a complex system and relatively little effort to maintain it.

For example, I maintain my weight and the way I look with 90 minutes a week of training. It would require 7+ hours to make a significant difference.

1.5 hours to maintain (MED). 7 hours to make a change.

If I'm training 4 hours a week, 2.5 of those hours could be recaptured and reallocated to something else without impacting me aesthetically.

This applies directly to all complex systems you are part of:

➡️ Your business has a minimum effective dose. You could maintain it with fewer resources.
➡️ Your relationships have a minimum effective dose. You can maintain them with fewer resources.
➡️ Your health has a minimum effective dose. It can be maintained with fewer resources.

The problem is most people are doing more than they need to maintain each, which leaves them with too few resources to improve any of them.

If you can find your MED you can increase all three in cycles. Focus on one at a time, put the other two on MED, and repeat. The rolling average of all three can improve over time.

Example:

If I know my MED for fitness is 90 minutes, when it comes to business growth seasons I will recapture all of the time I spend at the gym over 90 minutes a week and reallocate it to business growth time.

If I know the minimum amount of time I can spend with my significant other without damaging the relationship, I will drop that down to MED and reallocate the extra time to business growth.

Then, put the business on MED, keep fitness on MED and reallocate all the resources to relationships. Rinse and repeat with a focus on fitness (if progress is desired there).

If you do not know the minimum effective dose, you won't know how much less of something you can do without going backward which means you'll likely do a little too much of everything. As much as you can possibly do in multiple different areas; never enough to move the needle.

In an attempt to try and improve everything at once, many burn out and end up sliding backward in all areas.

It can be difficult to actively put something important on "minimum effective dose". Guilt will creep in. More on that later on.

3⃣ Doing > Knowing
I prefer both, but when it comes down to it, doing is more useful than knowing. With Trevor watching over my shoulder, Mike Mastell keeping an eye on my heart rate data, and Dr Lyon reading my blood work and making me poop in cups (worst experience ever) I have been able to make small tweaks to my behavior to keep trending in the direction without getting overwhelmed or overthinking.

We've had long conversations about the "why" behind it all because I'm a curious dude. But I much rather be the person that modifies my behavior based on years of data and doesn't understand it than the one that knows all about it and can't get myself to do it.

Do first. Then, if you desire to, go back and try to understand.

This is why I always have people smarter than me around, it allows for more doing of the thing.

In the real world, the kid that picks up the bike and rides it has an advantage over the professor that knows all the theorems of aerodynamics but can't ride the effin' bike.

4⃣ There is no place for guilt and shame.
Replacing dogmatic thinking (rigid in expectation) with scientific thinking (controlled curiosity) can remove a lot of guilt and shame.

"I feel bad for not walking 5 hours this week like I was supposed to" generally leads to a spiral of being upset at yourself. It also has zero utility. There is nothing we can do with that statement except 1. spiral into a pint of ice cream or 2. try and convince ourselves it's okay.

A curious, scientific mind might ask:

"Why didn't I walk this week?"

or even better:

"Why do I sit?" (got this one from Dr Kashey)

This leads down a rabbit hole of more useful questions. Questions that can inform us why our behavior is what it is and what constraints we could remove leading to a higher probability we do the things we want and expect to do.

Remember: the benefits of walking have less to do with the benefits of walking and more to do with the benefits of not sitting.

5⃣ Most transformational journeys for adults start with fitness. Why?

Because when faced with hiking a mountain, touching your toes, or putting a bar on your back you cannot hide from what you are (or what you are not)

It's much easier to accept your hamstrings are tight and you're out of breath than it is to accept other insecurities you are faced with.

Physical activities tend to put the first crack in the armor of self-delusion, opening up the mind to the idea that maybe... just maybe we don't the clearest picture of ourselves.

I do not sell fitness. I don't even talk about it often. You should not get your fitness advice from me. If you were to ask me what you should do I will point you back to #1 in this post.

I do recommend that you start something physically challenging.

If you want to start somewhere, try sitting on the floor for 30 minutes a day. That is probably enough to make most question what they believe about themselves.

6⃣ Don't overlook the basics.

A decade of personal data and people way smarter than me tell me the same thing:

Mastering the basics will make you more advanced than any of the advanced stuff will without them.

I'm thinking I might mint 3 more and give away 2 of them.

1 to someone that followed the original steps.
another to an existing wolf pup holder chose at random

[Manoj Clinton @ManojClinton3]

@PeterNicson @WolfDenLabs Wow!!🥺
Let me hold that badge, Sheriff! 🐺

@WolfDenLabs #wolfpupnft holders.

Monday morning I am going to look at this tweet. I will pick 1 person that has:

1. Retweeted it
2. Has their Wolf Pup as their PFP

And I will let that person choose which Wolf Pup of mine (except my #0) they want. (Have a gray and a black)

[Nic Peterson - Wolf Pup #0 @PeterNicson]

Blockchain solves a lot of problems.

I am not sure that most people investing in the space fully understand what those problems are.

May do a live call + hangout with #wolfpupnft holders of @WolfDenLabs and @TheGuardianAcad Guardians to share the convos I've had & my thoughts
