What if you could just flip a switch, stop the worrying and start on a cool project, or start doing something that brings you or someone else joy? Play fearlessly, like when you were a child?

Your best life is just behind a series of actions. The nice thing is that you don’t have to even believe in yourself or be in the right headspace. You just have to act.

@AlexHormozi A sign of being unprepared, right?
I try to demystify stress as my body’s way of telling me I will need more energy for [insert stressor]. Anxiety? I will need energy because my body doesn’t know if it will get attacked by a bear or something.

Your life is probably already amazing.

@hubermanlab I spend a few moments listening for that. Don’t write it down or anything, just notice it, name it. Is there some advantage here?

You don’t deserve leisure, you deserve a good night of sleep and to be able to pay your bills.

When struggling with an impulse, know there is another version of yourself you can ask to take over. The self that makes a healthy choice, the self that does hard things for a future reward. Sit with the answer, No to poor choices, and Yes to good ones, until you believe it.

Working out today: when it’s hard, don’t focus on the feeling that you don’t want to do the full workout, ask how your target muscles are performing. Are more reps possible? Am I losing form? Versus Should I give myself a break? End early?

Take time to stop what you’re doing and help someone else. It might be your boss, your pet (same as your boss sometimes :p), your spouse or partner, your child, a complete stranger. Stop getting yours for a moment and give.
