1/ On How Short Life Is

A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful.

Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?"

It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...

@hubermanlab Hmm, i did that for a 25 min run recently. HR ranged from 150-170bpm, and i managed to stick to nasal breathing throughout. Surely that was not z2 though? 🤔

Your overall mood is largely created by a brain network that also sends predictions to areas important for vision, hearing, & other senses.

So, you may think vision & hearing influence what you feel, but it’s mostly the other way around. What you feel alters what you see & hear.

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

For all the obsession about accessing states of flow, creativity, hyper-focus, neuroplasticity etc. the two states of mind that serve as foundational entry points to all the rest are:
1) Alert but Calm
2) Asleep

Optimize entry to those first.
The rest follows.

Getting sleep right:
1.Sunlight exposure w/in 30m of waking for 10-30m
2. Avoid bright light (all colors) 10pm-4am
3. *If safe for you*: Mg Threonate (~140mg), Theanine (100-300mg), Apigenin (50mg) 30-45m prior to sleep
4. Keep the room cool
5. No caffeine post 2pm
6. No alcohol

My only generic advice is: when you get excited (or angry) about something, slow down. You’ll be grateful you did.

@caetx_ Daily, time feels like it’s going faster. But every time i look back one week, it feels like a month has gone by... 🤷🏻‍♂️
