Was going through my notes and found this list, thought I would share ✨
Cheat sheet to life:
1. Use workouts to gain muscle, diet to burn fat and cardio to improve your overall health & longevity.
2. Eat a high protein diet comprised of whole foods for the best body composition.
3. When lifting weights use your mind to muscle connection to increase muscle contraction.
4. Upon waking drink water before coffee.
5. Delay coffee 1-2 hours upon waking. This lets cortisol clear out adenosine, which can lead to sustained energy into the afternoon.
6. Use your nose for smelling & breathing. Use your mouth for talking, tasting & eating.
7. Mouth breathing disrupts sleep, ruins oral health & can cause sleep apnea. Mouth taping at night helped me solve this.
8. Most mouthwashes are the biggest dental scam. Kills your oral microbiota. Avoid.
9. Avoid fluoride in your toothpaste. Use ones that have hydroxyapatite.
10. Sleep at the same times every day. Align your body with the rising & setting of the sun.
11. The 321 method for better sleep. No eating 3 hours before bed. No liquids 2 hours before. No screens 1 hour before.
12. If you look at screens at night wear bluelight blockers.
13. You sleep for 1/3 of your entire life. Learn how to optimize it and make it make it as awesome as possible.
14. Memory is fallible. When you have a good idea write it down immediately.
15. Your best ideas come in the shower, walking or in the gym. Keep a notepad ready.
16. Peel a boiled egg by rolling it around your plate for awhile until all the shells are cracked. This makes it easy to remove the complete shell in one shot.
17. Close the toilet bowl when flushing to avoid particles of filth sprouting up into your bathroom atmosphere.
18. The more you criticizes others the more you criticize yourself. If you want to judge yourself less judge others less.
19. Stay away from people who always complain. They are energy vampires.
20. Stay away from people who gossip. They are most likely gossiping about you.
21. Learn a martial art to increase discipline, confidence & release stress.
22. Show up up, do the work & seek ways to grow. Do this every day & watch what happens.
23. Take complete ownership for every result in your life. The only constant in every result is you.
24. You can only get stronger when you face problems in life. Embrace the fucking struggle.
25. Be in rooms where you're the dumbest person. Workout at gyms where you're the least fit person.
26. When you feel an emotion don't numb it. It'll only make it feel worse later. Feel it fully then let it go. Emotion is energy. We must let it pass.
27. You can tell a lot about someones character by how they treat service staff.
28. Money & alcohol amplify who a person is at their core.
29. When someone shows you their true colours believe them.
30. A few months a year go monk mode. Eliminate all distractions & vices and use that energy to build your health & business.
31. Who you choose as a partner will determine your level of peace, wealth & happiness.
32. Your perception is reality. If you want a better reality change your perception.
33. You'll never be as young as you are now. Do what you feel you're meant to do.
34. Your best decisions come from stillness. Stillness is amplified in nature & meditation.
35. True wealth is about being physically & financially healthy while living in a household full of love.
36. Keep a small circle. It's better to go narrow & deep than wide & shallow.
40. Instead of giving your kids what you wish you had teach them things you wish you knew.
41. Look people in the eye, see them and allow them to see you.
42. Keep secrets that were given to you.
43. Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.
44. Give people a second chance, but not a third.
45. Be romantic.
46. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
47. Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as it first seems.
48. Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for our convenience, not the caller’s.
49. Be a good loser.

60. Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret, ask if they have the mental or emotional capacity to listen.
61. When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
62. Be humble. A lot was accomplished before you were born.
63. Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.
