How can you become the best version of myself in a month?

  1. Get 8–9 hours of sleep every night. Don’t worry about waking up early. I spent almost 27 years in the military and had to wake up early almost every morning. I hated it. Since retiring, I now get up when I wake up. Eight hours of sleep works for me and I am always well rested. Your body, your rules. Get up when you are rested.
  2. Drink water. Lots of it.
  3. Be grateful.
  4. Forgive easily. Especially forgive yourself.
  5. Be kind. Especially be kind to yourself.
  6. Say “no”. And yes you can do that kind. Our time is limited. Use it wisely.
  7. Live below your means. Put a portion of your income away for a rainy day.
  8. Learn to like yourself.
  9. Learn to be alone.
  10. Read.
  11. Workout. Do some sort of activity every single day to get the blood flowing.
  12. Stretch every day.
  13. Breathe deeply.
  14. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
  15. Hold yourself and others to a higher standard. When others fail, see number 4. When you fail, see number 4.
  16. Create huge audacious dreams and then break them down into actionable units.
  17. Create a to-do list of 2–3 actionable units (see number 16) to work on the next day. Schedule those units and complete them.
  18. Learn something, anything, every single day.
  19. Do something that scares you every single day.
  20. Choose to be happy.

How to become mentally strong: Tips and techniques

1. Never ever get uncomfortable. If you are uncomfortable, it means there is something you fear from. Don’t let fear ruling you! You will see they don’t even exist. 2. Fake it till you make it. Perception beats reality. Before I start doing something challenging, this is simply what I do. If the goal is too keep yourself mentally strong, don’t hesitate to believe you are. I bet it works. 3. Say it out loud! Say what you want out loud. It is that much simple to keep yourself motivated and so mentally strong. 4. Try to define actions reversely. Maybe you call yourself a procrastinator or late doer. This is not the true way of defining your actions. Approach from the different perspective and say you are able to do it such quick that you don’t even need to start so early. 5. Act of kindness. I think act of kindness interestingly and impressively increases the level of happiness. You should also try. 6. Try to spend time with motivated people. In ...

How can you improve your life?

  The 18 unconventional ways to elevate your consciousness, expand your influence and ultimately improve your life. Have sex.  There's something unflinchingly "human” about a sexual experience. It builds something within you that connects deeply to nature. A confidence is built. From a person who went stretches- sometimes over a year- without having sex due to deeply rooted sexual anxieties (fear of climaxing too quick, that I wasn't “good enough” in bed, distaste of one-night-encounters etc) rediscovering the feeling you get in your life while being sexually active has really made a positive impact. Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone.  Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in. Don't you hate that feeling when you're at a party or gathering, you go there with a friend and the friend doesn't introduce you to anyone? It sucks. Extreme responsibility is needed on y...

The Feynman Technique Model to learn better

The Feynman Technique is a  Mental Model  named after  Richard Feynman , a Nobel Prize Winning Physicist. It is designed as a technique to help you learn pretty much learn anything - so understand concepts you don't really get, remember stuff you have already learnt, or study more efficiently. The Feynman Technique was actually a big inspiration for this blog - I try and apply this to a lot of the concepts and Mental Models that I write about. The technique can be broken down into four easy steps, but first a quick video from  Scott Young  that sums it up very simply. Learn Faster with the Feynman Technique  So now for a recap of the steps: Step 1 Write the name of the concept at the top of a blank piece of paper. Step 2 Write down an explanation of the concept on the page. Use plain English. Pretend you are teaching it to someone else (e.g a new student). This should highlight what you understand, but more importantly ...
