How to get your Mojo Back
Lace up your trainers and go running.. I’ve juiced.
In my JFDI Cast #10 How to get Your Mojo Back I talked to myself (it’s like self administered therapy) about how to get your mojo back. I speak from experience which you’ll here if you listen. This is me by the way.
Now the ironic non linear twist is that I got up at 4am to to listen to my own wisdom (if you can call it that mills) again-’ ironically’ because I was feeling down and lost. I decided to help you by actually disseminated the juice amongst the moose so you don’t have to listen.
I talk without thinking, expressing myself through honesty and openness. Please Do listen though as voice is more powerful than the quivering pen.

Big love to Lee Simpson who suggested that I do this post and although he thought my podcast was Mad he actually liked it. He did suggest i write three main points but to be honest I felt like there were 26 that combined are about as useful as 3 useful ones.. Although that’s dubious. Remeber this is just what I heard from listening back while on the tube to ustwo this morning.
How to get Your Mojo Back
- Get fit. The key being coffee flows direct into your muscles and increased hype once you are fit. Although I can’t prove that scientifically I myself feel it every time I sip, (obviously break fluid which I love because they reached out to me and were kind to me)
- Drink an espresso directly after a run. Trudy me it’s hype up bonanza!
- Change shit up (drink from a new mug not the same hideous ceramic favourite you have, in fact actually buy a tin enamel mug because it’s thin and feel good when you lift it. Try it. Trust me.
- Get up early, the 3:30am-5:30am is the true unlock hours.
- Unlock juice by making juice aka go running (here is a easy starter podcast I made) you always feel better if you run. It unlocks endorphins that will make you smile.
- Get a tattoo of something. Anything. It really doesn’t matter but you’ll be so happy once you do it. I’m getting a budgie. Make it a message, motivate yourself with something abstract. One life which doesn’t mean don’t get a tattoo.
- Externalise your inner monologue- life is too short to repress yourself.
- Do that thing that you have been holding back from saying, doing or being (I did this and it unlocked me, I talk about it at around 11 mins)
- Plant a seed, ie tell people how you feel. That’s step one. You need to plant a terrapin tree which in all honesty you will probably not understand any more if you listen.
- Get off the beaten track and then immediately get back on again. By this I mean unlock juice by observing what others have done before you.
- Realise that Doing = unlocking potential. Thinking doesn’t mean shit.
- Realise that you actually only have one life and if you are not fit then you have completely missed the point.
- Embrace the fear of death. If that can’t unlock your inner JFDI nothing can. I talk about that around 14 mins
- Go for long long long walks. On your own and in places you have never been. Just look and over those hours you’ll go new places mentally.
- Stop drinking alcohol. (I help you hear)
- Creativity (otherwise known as unlocking your mojo) comes from not being creative. Imo running unlocks creativity and hence for me to get creative I decided to challenge my body and mind. Run a 100 mile race within 2018. You have to have a side goal passion. As a consequence of this juice will flow into your other passion (aka where you want your mojo to be) I talk about this around 18 mins.
- Be aware that you can’t replenish your mojo if you don’t love yourself. Running will get you loving yourself. I know.
- Celebrate the creative breakdown. It’s this Down that allows you to flow forward.
- Admit to yourself what actually makes you happy, are you actually chasing the right mojo? Is it time to follow a new path? The journey of replenishment above will allow you to deviate from the norm.
- Surround yourself with a diverse range of positive people who are not the same as you (remember you are in a hole so you don’t want to be around you!). Ambitious people are key. Flush everything else. Get rid of negatrons.
- Throw away (or give if they are not too hids) all your shit clothes that you only keep because you think clothes have feelings.
- Get fucking rid of anything that is just lying around and impacting on your mind. Stuff is only good if they make you happy.
- Buy clothes your hero’s wear! You’ll feel like them!! (See my on the off the on the beaten path above)
- Do something you think you won’t like. JFDI
- Go all in, extreme… even if it’s buying a new enamel mug. It has to be extreme. (And different)
- Listen to me explain this all on my podcast which I bothered to make so that I could empathy nonsensical honest real sense.
