Imagine every dish you will need to clean in your lifetime.

Piled up to the sky.

Your knees would shake.

But that’s not the reality.

It’s a few dishes every day.

Don’t get overwhelmed with the pile of future work.

It’s just a few reps.

Every day.

Consistently.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

@verritass I did but only for 5 minutes hahaha.

I think I was trying too hard.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

I've found that I love constantly having something I'm learning.

A new shift that happened yesterday is having that thing be books.

It's nice to have a single area that I'm growing in and applying.

That way I'm more free mentally to relax otherwise.

For a few months now, the best way to start my day is pranayama breathwork.

It quickly takes me from groggy, to excited about my day.

I'm curious to see how breathwork will impact people as it grows in popularity.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

@verritass Woah.

That sounds like a wonderful exercise!

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

Great news!

My shoulder has been progressively getting stronger.

I used to have an injury where I couldn't do pain free pushups.

Now I can do 11.

Slow and steady will get me to 100.

I truly believe that the optimal way forward is embracing a Dark Age Mindset. This means:
- Embracing Decline as Opportunity. When the foundations of familiar institutions are shaken, it's a signal to us to stop investing so much effort and dependence on those things, and create new alternatives that actually serve us as people and communities.
-Cultivating Resilient Character and Faith. The folks who did this before were not weak, fragile, or wishy-washy. Get hard.
-Preserve and Transmit Knowledge. If institutions that have historically been responsible for this (looking at you, media and schools) are failing, then it's another opportunity for us to step into decentralized roles as stewards of cultural patrimony, preserving literacy, classical texts, and traditions and educating our own children with this heritage to ensure continuity in a potentially post-literate or tech-degraded world.
-Pursuing Self-Sufficiency and Simplicity. "Ora et labora" was the motto that drove that age forward and upward. But they showed us that simplicity needn't be minimalist or ugly; some of the most durable and beautiful things ever made came from these times.
-Reject Dooming and Be Proactive. No despair. Instead, simplify your processes, improve your skills, and meet your challenges vigorously.
-Foster Creativity in Adversity. Necessity is the mother of invention. But the human person is not merely mechanical; we need beauty, music, good stories, living rituals, significance... Cultivate these things especially in the face of monopolized artificiality.
-Focus on Local and Subsidiarist Action. Subsidiarity is handling matters at the smallest, most local level possible; create "schools for service" (as Benedict did) that prioritize family, home culture, nature, and education over distant, failing institutions. The more responsibility you take up over all the spheres of your living experience, the more you step into sovereignty.

@serialsales I refuse the offer because I don't want to live in Texas hahahaha

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

Once you take accountability for a mistake.

FORGIVE YOURSELF AND LET GO.

Ruminating on it and sitting with it can actually make it worse.

Move forward with your changes and be better.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

@JackOfFaces Thank you <3

I want to celebrate my wins more!

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

Working out to be better at dancing is legitimately a new motivation for me.

When I'm dancing I feel much more proud of how healthy my body is.

Every movement is a celebration.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

Have you been taking L-Theanine?

It's easily the best supplement for mental clarity and focused energy.

Besides magnesium, it's the only supp I've noticed drastic change from.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

I love you guys.

It feels good to be connected with such wildly different people across space.

Wishing you all a beautiful day filled with wonder!

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

For me it was my sales job.

But once I dropped the expectation of perfection from myself, it got way easier.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

What's been stressing you lately?

Be honest.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

What if you REALLY believed in yourself?

Not just told yourself but actually felt it with every fiber in your being?

You'd need to rid shame, guilt, and fear completely.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

@thematrixwizard Happy birthday :))

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

Today I got to spend time with my sister, my friends, and work hard.

Plus I went to the gym.

I thank God for a full day like this.

[Kihlstadius @KrisImproves]

You hear it time and time again.

But you don't do it.

"Be consistent and you'll get results!"

How long will you wait to do the things that you know will help you?

Start now with the smallest action you know you can reliably do without fail.
