I love a good list. And it’s been a while, so here you go…
1 – Implement daily routines and discipline in your life
2 – Drink a large glass of water with lemon and sea salt first thing in the morning
3 – Start your day with a walk outside.. Preferably a sunrise walk
4 – Eat protein first. Protein : Greek meaning “first place” or “primary”
5 – Earn your carbohydrates with activity… training, hiking or a day on the farm
6 – Use a great water filter that removes chlorine, plastics and pharmaceuticals
7 – Don’t microwave plastic… better yet, don’t microwave anything
8 – Connect with Nature, take your shoes off and breathe
9 – When feeling stressed single nasal breathing does wonders
10 – Move frequently at a slow pace. 5 hours per week minimum
11 – Take 100 – 200mg of L-theanine with coffee to offset any caffeine jitters
12 – Sardines, the health food in a can. I am generally not a fan of the can but sardines are a pretty amazing convenient snack
13 – Feeling tired but wired? Have a cup of Tulsi – one of the greatest calming adaptogens
14 – Irritable bowel problems? GI MAPPING – Game Changing
15 – Cold shower in the morning – start the day with ‘’Mental Override’’ – The ability to make yourself do something you don’t want to do
16 – Nutrition is only as good as digestion – eat slow, chew hard
17 – Eat weird foods – the more diverse they are, the more diverse micronutrients you consume
18 – Unplug once a week
19 – Stop chasing symptoms and get to the root cause
20 – Go barefoot and play in the dirt
21 – Play more – Stuart Brown author of Play : how it shapes our brains, opens the imagination, and invigorates the soul. Asserts those that stop playing in adult life have narrowing in their social, emotional and cognitive intelligence.
22 – Create a list of things you enjoy: schedule them in your life
23 – If you spent as much time working on your resting postures as you did your training postures things might look very different
24 – First move well, then move often, then get ridiculously strong
25 – Don’t add strength to dysfunction – not unless you want to break
26 – Pain is your friend not the enemy. It’s not the problem, it’s the signal – Consider listening
27 – Are you moving poorly because you’re in pain or are you in pain because you’re moving poorly? Either way address it
28 – Want to get better at squatting – Get rid of your chairs. If this is too extreme then spend time on the ground everyday
29 – Ever seen someone in a 3rd World country struggle to get ass to grass on a squat? Nope because it doesn’t happen
30 – Environment dictates movement. Set up your environment for the win
31 – Foam rolling should lead you to better movement – if it doesn’t you’re doing something wrong
32 – Pain, stiffness, poor mobility are protective outputs of the nervous system in response to a ‘’perceived’’ threat
33 – The ultimate movement restoration program? Work backwards towards the crib/cot – nod, roll, rock, crawl
34 – Workout of the Day AKA – random acts of variety. Variety for the sake of variety is just a poor excuse for training
35 – Train don’t workout – One is just to get sweaty the other is a journey towards a goal
36 – Want to be a runner, gym goer, healthy eater fill in the blank. Then level 3 learning is where it’s at.. The Three stages of learning…
(1) basic comprehension
(2) unity of mind and heart
(3) identity. This is the gateway to being
As in I am a runner
I am a gym goer
I am a healthy eater
I am a __________

38 – Have a wonderful day
