Recommendations

  • Stretch often, and run or walk everyday

  • Huel Black (chocolate flavor)

  • Stream of consciousness writing, especially first thing in the morning. At first I don’t know what to write, then I do a lot of whining, and by the end of it I have found my own wisdom, which was there all along, hiding behind all that other stuff. Getting out of your own way sometimes means getting all of the “in the way” parts actually “out of you.”

  • Think about something you would like to teach someone and make a little book or pamphlet about it. This doesn’t have to be distributed- just go through the exercise of teaching (or pretending to teach) someone something. It’s important to get this down in physical form; you will take more care with what you say if it’s not only in your head. Could this exercise illuminate a part of your path? There’s no better way to understand something for yourself than by teaching it to someone else.

  • George Saunders (generally)

  • Remember that life is not a line, but a series of moments
