Endeavor, Peter Parker, Kirishima for the character ask!! 💖✨💖✨

Endeavor 

(BOI YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU STARTED)

How i feel about this character: okay first off. asshole. on fire trash can. the worst humanity has to offer. I would gladly slingshot him into the sun. bye bye you little bitch. Secondly. I think his character is super fascinating and i could write odes to how he and his family are written and I’m honestly so glad horikoshi included a character like him. (i’m working on a fic now that is an endeavor character study disguised as a post-apocalyptic adventure story) (really i hate him with all my soul but I think he’s interesting). 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: no! fucking! one! Endeavor doesn’t deserve romantic love at this point, i refuse to give it to him. 

Non-romantic otp for this character: okay not gonna lie, his weird relationship with Hawks gives me life. He’s been humbled a bit in the last few chapters and i’d love to see these two working together as equals–where Endeavor respects Hawks just as much as he respects Endeavor. 

Unpopular Opinion about this Character: he deserved the redemption arc. it wasn’t necessarily the redemption arc i was hoping for, but i’m glad it happened.

One thing i wish would happen with this character in canon: I wish that his redemption arc would have ended with him stepping down. I mean, i don’t think we’re at the end of it necessarily, but my ideal redemption arc for him would be for him to realize that “oh, i am literally the worst” and then to APOLOGIZE EXPLICITLY to his family and then step down from hero work. as it was, he was humbled, he didn’t humble himself. There’s still a long road to walk for him as it stands in canon right now, but that’s where i’m hoping this will go. 

(sophia i’m super curious why you gave me endeavor b/c i’m 80% sure i’ve never mentioned any of my strong feelings about his character to you hmm) 

Peter Parker

How I feel about this Character: mmkay so i’m gonna admit that i didn’t follow spiderman until he showed up in the mcu anD i’ve never read any of the comics so my opinion is limited to say the least. but!! that being said!! I would die for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker he is the Best Child 

People I Ship Romantically with this character: not? really? anyone? hmm.

Non-romantic otp for this character: ngl the Shuri/Peter bromance is my whole entire life. have they ever spoken in canon? no! are they best friends? ABSOLUTELY. i’m also gonna make a plug for Tony Stark being his Dad but that’s uhhh pretty common knowledge. 

Unpopular opinion about this character: ohhhh goodness i don’t know. He’s defo trans, but that’s not an unpopular opinion. 

Something i wish would (have) happen(ed) with this character in Canon: i just want him to meet Shuri ngl. that’s a boring ass answer but it would make me so happy. I want a series of like. youtube style vlogs of these two goofing off and wreaking havoc. please. 

Kirishima

How i feel about this Character: BABY. BABY BOY. BEST CHILD. TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD WE DON’T DESERVE HIM. good heavens i just??? love him??? and his character arc?? Like. He’s so happy and so supportive of his friends and just wants the best for everyone and yet he doubts himself because “how could i be good enough when everyone around me is So Much Better” and G O D i relate to that on a spiritual level and it’s been so healing to watch him grow into himself and realize that he is Enough and goddam i love this child. anyway. 

People I ship romantically with this Character: Bakugou!! kiribaku gives me life i’m yelling always about them. always. their canon friendship is everything i live for. I also have a (very) soft spot for Kirideku like heck? that’s such a cute ship? they’re so cute??? I’m also partial to Kirikami. 

Non-Romantic otp for this character: I never said i wasn’t a basic bitch-- Tamaki. I love their relationship. I love it. they’re like, the most dysfunctional brothers I adore them. Also Mina? They’re both gay it’s mlm/wlw solidarity they have such a good bromane i’m love. 

Unpopular opinion about this character: THE CROCS ARE CHARMING. they’re horrible. they’re so bad. but like,,, they’re so him that i just die a little inside because that’s so cute. also. idk if it’s unpopular or not, but he’s defo a main character. I know he didn’t start as one, but all the chapters in the rescue arc that were dedicated to him??? Yeah minor characters don’t get that--He’s a main character now i’ll fight anyone who says otherwise. 

Something I wish would (have) happen(ed) in Canon with this character: oh! hmm. Canon has treated him Very Well, so like? I don’t have a lot of complaints? I mean. If he was explicitly gay i would cry so many happy tears, but that’s the most i can think of. His character arcs have all been handled really well and I love his relationships are treated very well and he’s generally a very well-written character. I’d pay money for more shots of his hair down? idk.

The Grant Cardone 10X Rule Summary

Grant Cardone 10X

Whether you love him or not, Grant Cardone is one of the most influential people today. I recently stumbled across him online and was amazed that I’d never heard of him considering his huge online following. (As of this writing, he has over 1.2 million YouTube subscribers.)

A couple reasons I connected with him was:

#1 He’s also is a Louisiana boy.

#2 He loves real estate investing, especially syndications.

As an avid reader, his book, The 10X Rule, intrigued me as the headline states:

“The Only Difference Between Success And Failure.”

The book shows you how to:

reach all of your goals possible

overcome all of your fears

move into action to achieve exactly what you want

If you’re crunched for time, here’s a brief overview of the book:

What Is The 10X Rule?

I love it when people give back, especially to students. I came across this video of Grant addressing a group of high school students.

In it, he goes over the highlights of his book to inspire them to achieve success.

You maybe asking yourself, “What exactly is the Grant Cardone 10X rule?”

It’s based on understanding how much effort and thought are required to get ANYTHING done successfully.

It can work in literally every area of your life including:

spiritual

financial

emotional

physical

mental

He states that looking back over the course of his life, the one thing that was consistent with any of the success he achieved was that he always put forth 10 times the amount of work as others.

For instance, when he was in sales, he made ten more calls and presentations than anyone else. When looking for real estate deals, he’ll look at ten more properties than others will.

I agree with him that you can’t get to the next level in anything without changing your mindset first.

Related article: How To Think About Money

10X Rule Focus

The 10X rule focus is that you must set targets that are 10 times what you think you want and then do 10 times what you think it will take to accomplish those targets.

Massive thoughts MUST be followed by massive action. This is nothing more than the pure domination mentality.

Look at the great footballs teams: LSU (Geaux Tigers!), Alabama, Patriots, Saints. I can guarantee you that their coaches focus their time on how they are going to dominate their competition and not how they’re only going to compete.

What Is Success?

Cardone talks a lot about success in the book, specifically he states that “success is your duty and obligation.” He stresses this point to the high school students in the above video multiple times.

There’s No Shortage

Unlike the negativity we constantly hear in the media, there’s no shortage of success. If you watch the news or read a newspaper, you’ll be led to believe that there are shortages of jobs, money, opportunities and time.

How often do you hear someone state, “there’s not enough time in the day to get things done“?

You’ll never attain success if you continue listening to what’s put out in the media and if you don’t believe that success is important.

Cardone claims that it’s our responsibility in life to live up to our true potential, becoming the person that we were meant to be. He states that we owe this to all of those that are depending on us such as family members, colleagues, employees, etc.

Becoming successful shouldn’t be an option but an obligation that you have to honor.

4 Degrees Of Action

You’ve read the headlines before:

“The #1 Secret To Success”

“The Only Investment You’ll Ever Need”

“The Shortcut To Wealth…”

It’s not surprising that everyone is looking for a secret shortcut to whatever they want in life. But if you’re going to follow the Grant Cardone 10X Rule, you’ll learn very quickly that there are NO shortcuts.

He says we should focus more action on getting what we want more than anything else including our concept, idea, invention or business plan. Action is that important.

He breaks down the degrees of action into four choices:

1) Do nothing: This is exactly what it sounds like. I can’t tell you how many times I used to read books, listen to podcasts and research real estate investing but….I never took action.

If you want to hear about someone that learned about passive investing on their own and took MASSIVE action, read about how Lue Chen retired doing just that at 38!

2) Retreat: People that retreat are those that take action in reverse. More than likely they do so to avoid any negative experiences that they imagine will come as a result of taking action. They personify the “fear-of-success” phenomenon.

3) Take normal levels of action: This group is probably the most prevalent in our society today. On the surface, they appear to be taking the necessary action for success. Essentially, they’re doing what everyone else is doing. This level of action creates the middle class and is the most dangerous because it’s considered acceptable. They are good with being “average.”

4)Take massive action: Whenever someone is taking massive action, they aren’t thinking about being normal. They don’t want to be average. They want to stand out from the crowd and dominate their competition.

Why Average Is Failing

Cardone feels that the world is full of “average” people. He claims that this “addiction to average” can kill the possibility of making your dreams a reality.

Here’s an example:

The average worker reads less than one book a year and works an average of 37.5 hours per week. This same person makes 319 times LESS MONEY than the top U.S. CEO who read more than 60 books a year.

Too many of us often fail to appreciate what these types of successful people have done to get to where they are today.

I can guarantee you that if you follow Drew Brees, Tom Brady or any other top athlete around on the off-season, they’re working 10 times more than the average NFL player.

Average NEVER yields anything more than average and usually much less. Average thinking and actions will only guarantee you misery, uncertainty, and failure.

Cardone recommends that you rid yourself of everything that is average including the advice you get and friends you keep.

Instead, surround yourself with exceptional thinkers and doers.

Proverbs 13:20: “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.”

10X Goals

Remember, the Grant Cardone 10X states that you must set targets for yourself that are 10X more than what you think you want and then 10X the action you think is required to get there.

Here are 4 mistakes that most people encounter while goal setting:

1) Failure to set goal high enough from the beginning

2) Underestimating how much action is really needed to accomplish goals

3) Spending too much time competing and not enough time dominating (doing what everyone else is doing – being average)

4) Underestimating the amount of adversity they will have to overcome

To maintain your enthusiasm, you have to set your goals high enough that they keep your attention. If your goals are so small that you don’t even need to consider them on a daily basis, then you’re going to lose interest.

An example of this was when I started setting monthly investment goals for myself a few years ago. I, like everyone else, set them too low. I wasn’t focused on it daily and I knew I could do better.

In my opinion, you have to set goals so high that it hurts trying to accomplish them. Because it wasn’t “hurting” and my checking balance stayed what it normally is each month, I ramped up the investing until I started really noticing a difference.

Once that money started leaving the checking account on a monthly basis in a BIG way, I really started paying more attention.

I agree with Cardone, if your goals are so small that you don’t consider them on a daily basis, they you’re going to lose interest and not accomplish them.

10X Goal Setting

In order to set your goals the 10X way, Cardone recommends you do the following:

Set 10X targets

Align them with your other purposes

Write them down daily – when you wake up and before going to sleep.

Fear

In the book, it states that sooner or later, you’ll experience fear when you start taking massive action towards your goals. I know I did once I started increasing the amount I was saving.

It made me uncomfortable having a large amount of money removed from my account each month to go into savings.

Fear is actually a sign that you’re doing what’s needed to move in the right direction.

So, if you’re not experiencing fear, then you’re not taking enough new actions and growing in life.

Successful Or Unsuccessful?

Cardone uses an entire chapter to discuss a list of ways we should act in order to be successful which is based on what he’s personally discovered about other successful people and the way they do things.

In other words, here’s a list of how successful people live to be successful:

1. Have a “Can Do” Attitude

2. Believe That “I Will Figure It Out”

3. Focus on Opportunity  (problems = opportunity)

4. Love Challenges

5. Seek To Solve Problems  (be a problem solver)

6. Persist Until Successful

7. Take Risks

8. Be Unreasonable

9. Be Dangerous

10. Create Wealth

11. Readily Take Action

12. Always Say “Yes”

13. Habitually Commit

14. Go All The Way

15. Focus on “Now”

16. Demonstrate Courage

17. Embrace Change

18. Determine and Take the Right Approach

19. Break Traditional Ideas

20. Be Goal-Oriented

21. Be on a Mission

22. Have a High Level of Motivation

23. Be Interested in Results

24. Have Big Goals and Dreams

25. Create Your Own Reality

26. Commit First – Figure Out Later

27. Be Highly Ethical

28. Be Interested in the Group

29. Be Dedicated to Continuous Learning

30. Be Uncomfortable

31. “Reach Up” in Relationships

32. Be Disciplined

I realize that some of these you currently are doing and some you’re not. I’d encourage you to go through this list to identify which you need to work on to become even more successful.

The Magic Of Thinking Big

After reading the Grant Cardone 10X Rule, I was reminded of a book that’s in our “Recommended” section called “The Magic Of Thinking Big” by David Schwartz which makes a great complement to Cardone’s book.

Many of Schwartz’s ideas and concepts line up perfectly with The 10X Rule. An example can be found on the first page regarding success. He states that success and achievement are the goals of life. Every human being wants success and the best life can deliver.

Nobody likes living in mediocrity. When you believe you can do something and have an “I can do it” attitude then the “how to do it” develops.

Applying The 10X Rule

I’ll admit, looking back over my life, I haven’t lived by the 10X rule. The main reason is that I’ve failed to set big enough goals initially. I think many of us do the same thing.

Here’s how we can get started applying The 10X Rule to our lives:

1) Set bigger goals. Why settle for saving $10,000 month? Go for $100,000 a month! Focusing on setting bigger goals in all aspects of your life including income, savings, workout, time spent with family and more.

2) Take massive action. In only makes sense that in order to reach your 10X goals, you’re going to have to take 10X action to fulfill your true potential. Remember, you will run into obstacles along the way, don’t let them set you back.

3) Change your mindset. Don’t keep limiting yourself. You have to belief and therefore change your mindset that 10X’ing your life is possible.

FILM: THE KING’S SPEECH (By Tom Hooper)

I choose this particular film for so many reasons. First and foremost, if you have seen the movie itself, you will notice how it debunks the ideology of “false consciousness”, which is just very timely. Colin Firth (who takes the place of King George VI), even when he isn’t even a King yet, plays a dominant/ruling class/bourgeois role, as he ever shall. For a little bit of background, King George VI has been struggling with speaking, says he actually has it since he can remember. There is no help that actually makes sense to him, not even the help of the finest and most expensive therapist, no. When he reaches out to his last resort, an underrated therapist in town who happens to be Lionel Logue, he is very persistent with the upper UPPER class-lower class relation, disrespectful in a way for a person who is there SEEKING HELP, and super hard headed. He keeps on insisting to keep the wall between them two, which just drives him mad every time because Logue refuses to cooperate, saying that it’s his own kingdom and he rules it the way he wants.

It also depicts the part where Sir Ricky mentions in class that the ideology of dominant class being the superior to subordinates is not happening anymore these days. Why? Because at the middle to end part of the film, it has become Logue who is superior to King George VI, the fight in the hegemonic struggle has transferred in the hands of the working class. Although Logue isn’t winning literally—like the winning where you get the trophy and bring it back home—still, Logue has the ace, by not forcing or imposing anything at all, but by means of it all being done by “consent” of King George VI, which has spark a little bit of controversy between the King himself and the Archbishop. Lionel Logue, King calls him Dr. Logue, but he himself never does, because he isn’t even a legitimate doctor in papers.

 This is where the false consciousness comes in again. That just because he has no degree, no damned piece of paper that just labels everything in the world for it to matter which makes no sense, doesn’t mean he is in no capability of making a change, at all. If you have ever got to watch this movie, then you will know what exactly I am talking about.

 “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.” is a famous quote from the very first political pamphlet I have ever loved. Isn’t that powerful? It just makes me think, that in this movie, there are actually multiple ‘chains’ this story might just have broken for us, and we just have to look carefully and see for ourselves where.

PRINT: LOVE AND MISADVENTURES (by Lang Leav)

 This is by far the most overrated, unsolicited, infamously famous book I have ever read. Here’s the thing; I really liked Lang Leav, she was awesome and she knew how to lure her readers, until I have come across Communication Theory which is why ISA or Ideological State Aparatus comes in the picture.

Lang Leav was flawlessly spilling out her guts like she drank her milk at night on a daily basis.

She is not even actually requesting or commanding anyone to read nor splurge a fortune on her book at all, she just makes you think that when she says “emotion” you’ll be out there screaming, demanding hearts and flowers and never ending love-making and sweet talks. Or maybe she doesn’t make you do it, she just molds your ideology for it to be the way it satisfies her, and you will have no idea about it, because she likes all your tweets about her, she likes your Instagram posts about her latest release that you just bought, or she has this wonderful, loving fiancé Michael Faudet that loves and tolerate her manipulative crazy ass that (maybe, just maybe) doesn’t actually exist.

 You will read on page 21, with a title of “A Thank-You Note”, that she makes unfamiliar, strange love so positively good. She’s saying that this particular guy takes away her fears and says everything she wants to hear, and that is just so wrong on a spiritual level, and she actually sounds so DELIGHTED ABOUT IT. Lang Leav, get a grip!

 Here’s another excerpt from the same book, page 31:

 WALLFLOWER

 Shrinking in a corner, pressed into the wall,

do they know I’m present, am I here at all?

 Is there a written rule book,

that tells you how to be—

all the right things to talk about—

that everyone has but me?

 Slowly I am withering—

a flower deprived of sun;

longing to belong to—

somewhere or someone.

 Imagine being an average sixteen-year-old girl with low self-esteem, young and infatuated with a guy, without a proper and/or enough knowledge of theories, particularly Relational Dialectics, you will believe this nonsense (I did, though). She romanticizes everything that should not be romanticized at all, like being head over heels over a guy whom you haven’t even met yet, and she just talks about love generally like it is the way it is inside her mind.

 Second thing is, some kids actually read her works. They applaud Lang Leav like they know her like she’s the back of their hands—in result of this, they participate on the on-going struggle willingly—yes, when you can’t even Google her real nationality. She is like Disney, but worse, she is trouble with a bangs and confusing accent. That is basically it.

 RADIO PROGRAM: Isumbong Mo Kay Tulfo

 This program is the very epitome of disrespect and insult to Radio and its history, along with its other respective, honored branches worldwide. Tulfo brothers look like they haven’t even experienced eating eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but they talk and rant as if they feel for every subordinate existing class. I mean, let’s face it. They don’t give a single dime for these people, they don’t understand the struggle, they just act like they do because (it is P R O F I T) if they can pay a big amount of money to prestigious media companies to air their cuss-show for a day, and how they have been doing this for years now, has anyone asked them how much their profit is and where exactly do they get it? They make me ask so many questions.

 Has anyone asked how they (Tulfo bros) can wrap around these proletarians’ heads this kind of ideology that they are emotionally, mentally and physically present with them, the moment they are bawling their eyes out and confessing their grief on the radio/on national TV? Has anyone asked them why they are still doing the things they do when they just actually sound like fart; nonsense, stinky and annoying? And why are there people going to THEM when in fact they should go to right and just institutions/states/agencies/departments? Is being on TV, momentarily being the center of audience’s eyes and/or ears enough for an unresolved, crucial problem? Are these brothers the tap-on-the-back that every unsung struggling part of society need, despite of the toxicity that they bring? Or are they actually good for us, students studying communication and the media, because they help and make us realize to study well and be at school all the time and read until our eyes run dry so that we will not become like them?

 In a nutshell, there, as a matter of fact, a lot of aspects and sides that aren’t being noticed and given proper concern this radio program has been imposing the society that I have yet to find out/discuss. For example, what agenda they do not broadcast, and it will be one hell of a challenge, but for now, in my own honest opinion, it’s better that I know what they obviously DO broadcast, and I can only ask, why and how?

How to Recover From Burnout By Rebalancing Your Life Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Burnout is becoming a more common problem in the United States and around the world. How can you avoid it or recover from it if you’ve already hit the proverbial wall? Dr. Joseph Maroon, a professor of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, has written a book that addresses these very questions. “Square One: A Simple Guide to a Balanced Life” grew out of his own struggles with burnout, setbacks and depression after he’d become a world-class neurosurgeon before the age of 40. “I’ve had rather impressive success [and] cataclysmic failure personally,” Maroon says. “I was intent on becoming the very best that I could in terms of my profession, neurosurgery. I worked extremely diligently. It became an all-encompassing pursuit for me in my life … with success, societal approval, writing papers, going to national meetings … Soon after becoming chief of neurosurgery at a major university hospital, I [cracked]. My father died, my wife and children left me, I had to quit my profession as a neurosurgeon due to the overwhelming stress … all within one week … The next week, I [was] helping my mother run a rather dilapidated truck stop left to her by my father in Wheeling, West Virginia, living on a farm. One day I was doing brain surgery and [the next] literally filling up 18-wheelers and flipping hamburgers in a rundown truck stop. It was a great fall. It was kind of like an Icarian metaphor of flying too near the sun. I got scorched and I plummeted into the sea — a sea of depression.” Recognizing Burnout Maroon went through all of the symptoms of burnout, which are now reported in 50 percent of physicians: emotional and physical exhaustion, loss of perspective, depression and a lack of connection to his work. In “Square One,” Maroon describes how after he’d reached rock bottom, he rediscovered a book he’d received years before as a high school prize. Written by William H. Danforth, the thin book, “I Dare You,” became a real turning point: “What Danforth emphasized was that balance is the most important thing to attain, to live life as a whole person,” Maroon says. “To attain balance, you have to really take into consideration, what are your priorities, what you do, speak and interact with on daily basis. Balance requires you prioritize the social side or family, the spiritual side and the physical side, including diet in equal terms as your work side. Danforth depicts this concept as a square with four equal sides.” Square One — Regaining Balance Danforth emphasizes that you have not one but four lives to live, and these four entities make up the sides of a square: Physical life Spiritual life Work life Relationship life When Maroon analyzed how much time he spent on each of these, he realized the problem: There was no family, spirituality or physical sides to his existence because he had become consumed by his work. It was only when he began to exercise that he got healthy enough to begin to rebalance his life. “Pretty soon, my neurotransmitters, if you would, were in balance. I began to lose weight. It was the physical and then subsequently the spiritual aspect to a semblance of balance,” he says. A year later, he was back working as a neurosurgeon and eventually competing as an Ironman Triathlete. “I literally was a dropout, burned-out from all work all the time. It was through exercise and its incredibly powerful effect on my brain, that increased my dopamine, the brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) that makes new brain cells, new synaptic connections and neuroplasticity, that really started me back into my profession and life, and back into a balanced place.” Indeed, research clearly shows exercise is one of the most effective ways to reverse symptoms of depression. The great news is you don’t even need an enormous amount of exercise to get and stay healthy, and I strongly recommend targeted high-intensity training to get the most out of every minute. My new favorite is a slightly modified version of the Zach Bush Nitric Oxide Dump (demonstrated below), which takes only three minutes. Do that two or three times a day, and then add in some mobility exercises and walking. These are simple strategies that don’t cost you anything that can make an enormous difference. Nutritional Ketosis for Brain Health In more recent years, Maroon has collaborated with Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D., an expert on the metabolic basis of cancer, and together they’ve written a couple of important articles on malignant brain tumors. “I read Tom’s papers and subsequently contacted him and Miriam Kalamian [about the] ketogenic diet as a way to possibly aid in the treatment of brain tumors…. I went on a ketogenic diet myself,” he says. “It’s a very difficult diet without help. I’m an incredible proponent of what Tom’s teaching, lecturing and recommending to get the diet right.” After reading your [Dr. Mercola] recent book, “Fat for Fuel,” you’ve done a tremendous service to help [those] who want to go on the mitochondrial metabolic diet, essentially a ketogenic diet. You have guidelines in there and explanations that are beautifully outlined and absolutely needed, not only for brain tumors but for any patient with a malignant tumor that depends on glucose for its metabolic substrate. In “Fat for Fuel,” I strongly emphasize the importance of cycling in and out of ketosis once you’ve made the transition to burning fat as your primary fuel. Staying in nutritional ketosis indefinitely can result in loss of muscle mass, which is hardly beneficial for your health. Once your body regains the ability to burn fat as its primary fuel, it is best to cycle in and out of ketosis, intermittently eating 200 to 300 percent more healthy net carbs and fruits, but do it in a sensible fashion where you still maintain the metabolic flexibility to burn fat. Maroon experienced adverse effects just as I did when he experienced excessive nutritional ketosis. “I became weaker. I didn’t have the stamina, the strength. I continued to train for triathlons. I found myself not having enough fuel to do that … When I read your outline of how to approach this … it [worked] so well for patients. [It’s] understandable, doable and it’s basically what I evolved to on my own. You’ve been able to beautifully elucidate it … I think the various diseases that it’s good for … [includes] everything from fibromyalgia to arthritis, cancer [and] neurodegenerative diseases of the brain. I clearly have recommended [nutritional ketosis] as a thing that people can do to, hopefully, prevent amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles to slow down the neurodegenerative process,” Maroon says. Resilience Is Developed Through Adversity Many biological and physical stressors — including exercise, fasting and thermogenesis — activate genes that produce very positive metabolic factors. Maroon’s book, “Square One,” discusses the concept of epigenetics and the metabolic factors that are activated by each side of the square. Keeping the four sides of the square in balance is key — the physical, work, spiritual and social sides of life. The most important aspects of this is mindful awareness of all four sides and the ability to handle adversity and stress. “We all know that you can’t avoid stress in this world — bad relationships, divorce, stressful jobs and health concerns are just a few. Forty percent of people now report difficulty with job-related stress. A Mayo Clinic study recently [said] 50 percent of doctors have reported burnout symptoms, such as physical or emotional exhaustion from being overworked, overwhelmed and overcommitted. What happens with uncontrolled stress [is] you get elevated cortisol levels in your blood. What does [excess] cortisol do to the brain? It kills brain cells, especially those that code for memory. That’s what was happening to me … excess chronic unremitting stress overwhelmed me. Fortunately I was able to rebalance. My stress also led to incredible depression. Most doctors think depression is [treatable] with antidepressants. For me I have no doubt that physical activity was the most effective antidepressant … [Exercise] stimulates the production of neurotransmitters, like dopamine, serotonin and acetylcholine that are all reduced during depression. The point is we can’t escape adversity. We can’t escape stress. But what happened to me is I didn’t recognize how bad off I was in a unidimensional [all work] life. I didn’t recognize it until I was working at a truck stop as a pump jockey … I think the most important thing I missed was mindfulness. I didn’t have insight into where I was; insight on how I got there, when everything was lost.” How to Regain Balance and Recover From Burnout So, how do you prevent or recover from burnout? There is sound evidence that the best ways are through exercise, a healthy diet that optimizes mitochondrial function and limits inflammation, mindfulness, and stress reduction. “You need exercise. You need a degree of meditation and spirituality. You need to avoid the environmental toxins … If you look at people who live to be centenarians, more than any place else, where are they? Okinawa, Sardinia, Seventh-day Adventists in Loma Linda, California. They all have in common a healthy diet and physical work. They work hard, which is their physical activity. They live in areas generally with fewer environmental toxins. They control stress with, usually, a very strong family unit, spirituality, religion or meditation. All those things are mindfulness. All reduce stress, the excess cortisol, and try to keep our bodies in balance … I personally returned to the principles of Christianity — helping and reaching out to others. I think that’s a key portion. We give but little when we give up our possessions. It’s when we give up ourselves that we truly give. It’s getting out of yourself. It’s not me, me, me all the time. It’s [about] reaching out to others,” advised Maroon. Avoiding Toxins In addition to these approaches to address burnout, I must also address the need to avoid toxins such as alcohol, contaminated water, air pollution and food pesticides. While not covered in Maroon’s book, one of the most dangerous toxins out there most people are not aware of is microwave radiation from cellphones, cellphone towers and Wi-Fi routers. While it would be virtually impossible to eliminate these things at this point, it’s important to use them wisely and to guard against excessive exposure. The primary concern with cellphone use is not related specifically to brain tumors. In fact, that idea can even be counterproductive as most people don’t know cellphone users who have brain cancer. The real danger lies in damage from the reactive nitrogen species peroxynitrite that these microwaves generate in your body. Increased peroxynitrite from cellphone exposure will damage your mitochondria, thereby increasing your risk of all cancers — not just brain cancer — as well as heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s. You can have the best diet, the best exercise, the best meditation and spiritual practice, and the best sleeping habits. Yet, if you’re consistently exposing your body to excessive levels of this radiation that you cannot see, hear or feel (unless you’re electrosensitive), you’re going to incur mitochondrial damage and will invariably die prematurely as a result of this exposure. This becomes quite clear when you study the literature, and there’s no way around it. You simply have to take precautions to limit unnecessary exposure. On Traumatic Brain Injuries On a side note, Maroon has worked with the Pittsburgh Steelers for over 25 years, investigating and treating various sports-related problems such as neck problems, low-back pain, ruptured discs and concussions. The long-term effects of concussion are actually now under intense study, and one thing that appears to be central to many neurodegenerative diseases is excessive immune response and inflammation. Maroon discusses some simple yet powerfully effective dietary and physical interventions that may help. “You don’t eat a Western diet. You don’t stop exercising. You don’t overload with toxins like alcohol, opioids, smoke and drugs, and you control stress. It’s the four epigenetic factors that need to be emphasized to these individuals who have had multiple hits to the head,” Maroon says. “Again, what you outline in “Fat for Fuel” are [the] kinds of things I think athletes in contact sports could benefit from … My agenda this year is to [launch] a program for individuals who are potentially at risk from long-term, sports-related head trauma that would include specialized diets to reduce inflammation.” Besides metabolic mitochondrial therapy, which includes a cyclical ketogenic diet and high-intensity exercise, compelling evidence suggests near-infrared light in the 830 to 850 nanometer (nm) range can significantly reduce symptoms of Alzheimer’s, even in its more advanced stages. For more information about this, I recommend listening to my interview with Michael Hamblin, Ph.D., who is a leading expert from Harvard on the use of photobiomodulation. In this near-infrared range, light helps recharge your mitochondria and stops mitochondrial dysfunction secondary to inflammation and trauma, and it’s not toxic in any way. Other important strategies include the use of high-dose bioavailable curcumin, animal-based omega-3 fats, resveratrol, L-carnitine and α-lipoic acid. All of these agents help enhance mitochondrial function. More Information “Square One: A Simple Guide to a Balanced Life” is an excellent primer on burnout — what it is, how to address it and how to prevent it in the future. As Maroon notes, “If you are burned out, overwhelmed, overworked or overcommitted, you need to get your life back in order.” It all boils down to accepting that we are responsible for four areas of our lives — our health, our work, our relationships and our sense of purpose — and the easy-to-read “Square One” sets forth these simple principles. But make no mistake: There’s great wisdom in this simplicity, and the key is to understand and implement it.
