I’m becoming increasingly convinced that a good life is mostly ordinary days you actually enjoy. Good food. People you love. Meaningful work. Something to look forward to. Enough money. A little sunshine. Peace in your house.

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

I regret to inform you that when you lift weights, eat healthy foods, prioritize sleep, upgrade your wardrobe, and take care of your appearance, people will treat you 10x better.

Long-term thinking changes short-term actions. Spend a little time today doing things that will benefit you in ten years.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Slow down and remember this:

Most things make no difference.

Being busy is a form of laziness—lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant.

Being selective—doing less—is the path of the productive.

Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

[Gary Brecka @thegarybrecka]

Forty-five minutes in your kitchen right now changes every meal you eat this week.

The people who eat well consistently are not more disciplined. They have more real food ready to grab.

Here is the Sunday prep that covers the week:
- Hard-boil a dozen eggs
- Cook a large batch of your primary protein
- Roast two sheet pans of vegetables at 400 degrees with olive oil and sea salt
- Wash and portion all produce so it is visible and ready
- Make a simple dressing: olive oil, lemon, garlic, sea salt

When real food is ready, real food gets eaten. That is the entire system.

Thank you so much. That question “how did I let this happen when I’m a smart woman?” is one so many survivors ask themselves. But intelligence doesn’t protect us from coercive control. As you describe so perfectly, it accumulates so gradually, which is why it's often called 'death by a thousand cuts'. Each individual compromise can seem small, but over time they accumulate until you barely recognise how much of yourself you’ve given up just to keep the peace. I’m safe and healing now, and I hope you are too.

My abusive ex-husband never explicitly told me what I could or couldn't wear, but I ended up avoiding the clothes he didn’t like anyway. This is how coercive control works…

One day, I came to the kitchen wearing a black blouse. He screwed up his face and asked me why I was wearing black, saying I looked ugly in that blouse and that he didn’t like it. I told him that was fine, he didn’t have to wear it.

Then he brought our 5-year-old son into the room. “Mummy doesn’t look good in black, does she?” he asked our child. Looking at his father and knowing very well that it’s best to agree, he nodded. “Yes, black is not a nice color mummy,” he told me.

I told him he had no right to criticise my clothing, and especially no right to involve our child.

That's when the lecturing began.

For three hours, he ranted about how he has a right to give his views and how I am incapable of accepting criticism. Apparently, I was too sensitive, too fragile and I didn’t respect his opinions. I needed to work on my reactions if I wanted to improve myself.

When I tried to walk away, he followed me from one room to the next, continuing the onslaught.

A month later, I was choosing what to wear and I went to reach for my black blouse, but then I hesitated. Was it worth the hassle? Did I really have the energy to go through all that again? I decided I didn’t and I chose something else.

And this is exactly how coercive control works. You learn to choose the easier option just to keep the peace and avoid the negative consequences. And bit-by-bit you fall in line with how they want you to be, until eventually there is no part of you left. Everything about ‘you’ is exactly how they want it.

Before cardio: Feel like shit. Maybe I should skip.

After cardio: Holy crap. Insane energy. I feel like crushing 1000 tasks. Life is great!

Major cheat code for life: realizing you really can just wake up one day and say "that's enough of that" and change direction completely.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Most of your problems are not actually problems. They are discomforts. 
Discomfort is not the problem—on the contrary, it’s usually the cost of the solution.

[Josh Howerton @howertonjosh]

Encouragement is rocket-fuel for the soul.

A man can go 3x as far and do 30x as much if he is an ENCOURAGED MAN.

It is, in my opinion, the most underrated spiritual gift.

[CooperBaggs 💰🍞 @edgaralandough]

The one thing that decides it.

Around week six the scale sits still for eight days and you'll assume it stopped working. It's water and it drops the following week.

That's the exact moment your last few attempts ended. It's the most predictable thing in this entire process, and having somebody tell you to hold that week is usually the whole difference.

[Josh Howerton @howertonjosh]

.@ShawnRyan762 asked me point-blank: "Why did Jesus have to die on the cross?"

I am humbled and honored that I was put in a position to answer this question for him. This story is one of the best illustrations of the Gospel that I've ever heard.

[KB @dashofnavy]

@Mesmerhypnosis Very cool!

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

What you avoid controls you; what you face frees you.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Remain playful as your responsibilities increase. It's easy to become serious when people and results depend on you, but nearly everyone's performance improves when they proceed lightly through the world.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

One of the most valuable skills in life is being able to see another person's perspective.

If you're going to someone's house, think about how it might feel to be the host. If you're creating a product, spend as much time as possible thinking like the customer. If you're calling customer service, think about how it might feel to be on the other end of the conversation.

The more clearly you understand the viewpoint of your spouse or customer or coworker, the better positioned you are to find a solution.
