And here it is... A thread of threads!
A thread for almost every situation in life. A thread to stitch almost all our wounds. A thread to connect the disconnected. A thread for another thread. A thread by @warikoo
Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.
A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
Life advice nobody told you: Working out completely rewires your brain. It creates real evidence that you have the power to take an action and achieve a desired outcome. That has ripple effects into every area of life.
The older I get, the more I realize the power of always having something on the calendar you're excited about. It can really be anything. Difficult physical challenge, big project, fun trip, ambitious goal, whatever. It creates energy and gets you through the lows. Life hack.
Major cheat code for life: Master the art of the fresh start. From a bad morning. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.

But if anyone can, he can. Best wishes.
“I love being at home. My life is very simple. I reada lot of books. I watch a lot of films. I listen to a lot of music. I tend the garden. I cook with my family. Yeah, I'm boring.”

High cortisol is the real reason you wake up absolutely exhausted.
It also ages you years before your time — literally shrinks your brain, locks in belly fat, and tanks your libido.
Here are 8 ways to lower your cortisol:
1. Delay your first coffee 90 minutes.
High cortisol is aging you faster than drinking and partying.
It also burns collagen, wrecks deep sleep, and accelerates wrinkles by a decade.
Here are 7 ways to reduce high cortisol:
1. Sunlight on skin in the first 30 minutes.
The ability to do what you want, who you want, with who you want, for as long as you want, is priceless. It is the highest dividend money pays.
