Life sends you good things whether you are grateful or not. But with gratitude, life sends them to you faster. That is because gratitude is a state of being.
"Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach." - Marcus Aurelius.
Waking up at 5:45 am solves 99.9% of daily issues.
12 other unreasonably simple habits to change your life:
1. Grab your to-do list. Do the thing you want to do least, first.
2. Stop all 60 min meetings, make them 45 minutes. Tighter meetings, more time.
3. No social media, email, or text when you wake up. Write something, read something, or create something before you get sucked in.
4. Do the $1,000/hr Test. Group work in 3 buckets based on return: $10, $100, $1,000. Offload one low ROI task per day.
5. Change one meeting a week to a walking call. Watch how excited the other meeting member becomes.
6. Add a How vs Won't check-in. When you say, "that WON'T work." Instead ask, "How could that work?"
7. Be the dumbest one in your friend group, then move on when you’re not. As they say, if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.
8. Take a picture of your net worth. What gets measured gets managed. Check finances daily.
9. Always the stairs, never the elevator. Pick the hard option. See how much stronger you are than you think.
10. Never write to-dos in stone. You're 10x more productive if you reprioritize daily.
11. Meditate. 10 minutes a day. For a twofer - do it in the sauna. Sometimes hacking culture gets it right.
12. Get intimidated. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Do something every day that scares you a little bit.
Life is the small things repeated daily.
Change one daily habit, and beautiful things start to happen…
So pick one.
Dr Anna Lembke MD @StanfordMed deserves credit for pointing out that recovered addicts are heros because they managed to successfully navigate dopamine dynamics— which is something that most everyone else, addict or no, grapples with in our modern world & we don’t even realize.
Alert: when a study says to do cold immersion in cold or ice water to the neck they don’t mean just put your head under water for 1-5 minutes! (Keep your head out while immersed to the neck). Yes, this tweet was prompted by a question about this.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare." - Muhammad Ali
Everything everyone tweets is an attempt to cover up a deeply hidden, controversial, secret message (aka The Truth) that only you can figure out and expose in the replies.
Or maybe it's just a quickly typed random thought while on the toilet. Either one really.
