Tony Robbins believes that, in a lowered emotional state, we only see the problems, not solutions.

Let’s say you wake up feeling tired and overwhelmed. You sit down to brainstorm strategies to solve your issues, but it comes to naught, and you feel even worse afterward. This is because you started in a negative state, then attempted strategy but didn’t succeed (due to tunnel vision on the problems), and then likely told yourself self-defeating stories (e.g., “I always do this. Why am I so wound up I can’t even think straight?”).

To fix this, he encourages you to “prime” your state first. The biochemistry will help you proactively tell yourself an enabling story. Only then do you think on strategy, as you’ll see the options instead of dead ends.

“Priming” my state is often as simple as doing 5 to 10 push-ups or getting 20 minutes of sun exposure.

I often ask myself, “Is this really a problem I need to think my way out of? Or is it possible I just need to fix my biochemistry?” I’ve wasted a lot of time journaling on “problems” when I just needed to eat breakfast sooner, do 10 push-ups, or get an extra hour of sleep.

Sometimes, you think you have to figure out your life’s purpose, but you really just need some macadamia nuts and a cold fucking shower.

woof, 21.8% turnout in the #Mississauga elections is not great. Turnout hasn't been that low since around 20 years ago, the 2003 election.

Ontario was supposed to be fully accessible to people w/ disabilities by 2025. Nobody believes that's possible anymore & some advocates say the province has become less accessible under Ford's government.

It's an unsexy election issue affecting 2.6M ppl:

Since I’ve been asked a lot:

Buy stock in several companies that make products & services that *you* believe in.

Only sell if you think their products & services are trending worse. Don’t panic when the market does.

This will serve you well in the long-term.

It’s disappointing and bewildering that the Ontario government chose not to invest in a two way all day GO for the Milton Line. Mississauga residents and businesses all agree that it’s a priority.

[Lisa Gretzky @LGretzky]

On budget day, let us not forget that this gov’t sat on BILLIONS of $ during a global pandemic instead of providing relief funding urgently needed for schools, LTC, healthcare, housing, small biz, etc.

No debate. No discussion. What is @fordnation hiding?

If anyone is under the delusion that transit planning is based on sensible decisions, this should show the true priorities of the Ford government.

I'm still in disbelief about @nataliakusendova conduct. She should know better as an MPP who took an oath to act with integrity and honour.

@birgitomo Happy Good Friday! Did you see the front page of the Toronto Star? Great article by @robertbenzie on your favourite Conservative MPP.

[Robert Benzie @robertbenzie]

From the front page of the ⁦@TorontoStar⁩, the ⁦@OntarioPCParty MPP, the ex-lover accountant who wanted an LRT station, and $30,000 in loans or gifts.

Here's a challenge for @metrolinx and their minister @C_Mulroney : Will you commit to never using election laws to harass community groups who oppose your projects? You've already tried householder mailings. https://t.co/2WOtvZsZYQ

[Grant Gorchynski @grantgorchynski]

@SwanBoatSteve Couldn't agree more! Metrolinx is just a group of bullies. They don't care about anything, other than their own ego.
