People think metabolism is just about how many calories you burn.
It's much bigger than that.
Your metabolism determines:
- How efficiently you produce energy
- How well you recover
- How stable your hormones remain
- How your brain performs
- How quickly you heal
- How gracefully you age
Protect your metabolism and almost everything else gets easier.
A question I want to sit with tonight...
What is one thing you do consistently for your health that most people around you do not do?
The habits that move the needle are almost always the ones that look strange from the outside. Drop yours below. Someone else needs to hear it. 👇🏻
The most powerful sleep intervention is also the cheapest: consistent wake time.
Your circadian rhythm anchors to when you wake up, not when you fall asleep.
Sleeping in on weekends creates social jet lag, a measurable disruption to metabolic and cognitive function.
Old-school mental toughness = Bulldoze Method. Head down and ignore the negative thoughts until you can't anymore. Then fight them as best as you can until the event is over…
When put in stressful situations, the use of 3rd person pronouns allows us to: decrease #anxiety , #shame , and #rumination - along with increasing #performance
Changing the grammar of our internal dialogue from #me to he (1st to 3rd person) allows us to view our #feelings/#thoughts more objectively in a dissociated way
Do not end your Wednesday on a screen.
Close everything down. Dim the lights. Put the phone in another room.
Then do this before you get into bed...
Roll your shoulders back five times. Do five slow neck rolls. Take five deep belly breaths through your nose.
That sequence tells your nervous system the active part of the day is done.
It takes two minutes. It works every time.
Your Thursday depends on how well you sleep tonight. Protect it.
Real #toughness is about navigating and analysing the #thoughts/sensations that arise in difficult moments, then choosing the #best#path… rather than gritting your teeth and blindly pushing through.
Analyzing feelings gives us the power to choose whether we give them attention, just notice them and let them pass on by, or use them for motivational purposes
If we are astute at detecting the signals (emotions and feelings) early on then this will allow us to have a greater effect on our performance downstream. A feeling of stress that quickly detected will less likely spiral into a full-on meltdown
When we name something (emotion or feeling), we take back control - converting it from the ambiguous to something tangible. This allows us to analyze and interpret it, then be able to make a rational decision about how to overcome the issue
A study out of the UK found that stock traders who had greater interoception performed better at their job and lasted longer in the profession - which is notorious for its high turnover rate
