  1. Use workouts to gain muscle, diet to burn fat and cardio to improve your overall health and longevity.
  2. Eat a high protein diet compromised 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 for 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. Do not breath through your mouth.
  7. Mouth breathing disrupts sleep, ruins oral health & can cause sleep apnoea. Mouth taping at night helped me solve this.
  8. Mouthwash is the biggest dental scam. It kills your oral microbiota. Avoid.
  9. Avoid fluoride in your toothpaste. Use ones that have hydroxyapatite.
  10. Sleep at the same time 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 blue light blockers.
  13. You sleep for 1/3rd of your entire life. Learn how to optimize it and make it as awesome a 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 (or in the 21st century — a notes app on your phone).
  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 criticize 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. Take complete ownership for every result in your life. The only constant in every result is you.
  23. When someone is walking in your path look at their shoulder closest to you. 8 times out of 10 they will move out of the way.
  24. Be in rooms where you’re the dumbest person. Work out at gyms where you’re the least fit person.
  25. When you feel an emotion don’t numb it. It’ll only make it feel worse later. Feel it fully then let it go.
  26. You can tell a lot about someone’s character by how they treat service staff.
  27. Money & alcohol amplify who a person is at their core.
  28. A few months a year go monk mode. Eliminate all distractions & vices and use that energy to build your health & business.
  29. Who you choose as partner will determine your level of peace, wealth & happiness.
  30. Your perception is reality. If you want a better reality change your perception.
  31. You’ll never be as young as you are now. Do what you feel you’re meant to do.
  32. Your best decisions come from stillness. Stillness is amplified in nature & meditation.
  33. You can only get stronger when you face problems in life. Embrace the struggle.
  34. Show up, do the work & seek ways to grow. Do this every day & watch what happens.
  35. No one cares. Work Harder.
