"Imagine. Your name is Kasturba. You marry your husband when you are 14 years old. When your second child is a newborn, your husband leaves to go study law for three and a half years in London. You are left alone to take care of yourself, an infant, a toddler and your husband’s newly widowed mother. You are 19 years old."

Behind every great man is a great woman, but worse.

The Power Of Finding Love In Prayer

Let's talk willpower.

Everyone that gets here and reads this post has a goal. Doesn't matter what goal. It could be running a marathon, losing 10 pounds, acing an exam, or passing the SAT. Now, now…Tell me, how many days pass until you are all back to eating crap and skipping training sessions, classes? 1 day? 2? 2 weeks maybe? Thought so. So at this moment, you are on the couch, doing nothing, erasing your progress…But it would all be better if you had more willpower. In the end, you are the unlucky person, out of all, who was simply born like this, without the ability to reach your goals and make the right choices, aren't you? hihihihihi no. It doesn't work like that. I could start by telling you what the definition of willpower is or that there is some magic trick, a hack that will turn you into Superman, but I would lie to you and I don't wanna - you can lie to yourself just fine, you don't need me. There are, however, some things that may help you reach the level of willpower that you want and need. It might sound boring, but, first of all, you need the basics because willpower is managed by a part of the prefrontal cortex and the brain is the most important part of all. So. Start with 7-9 hours of good sleep per night and a balanced diet. Do your research - less sugar, more fiber, protein (you got the idea)… Be careful with your glucose levels! After you get your health in check, understand that you have to change your mentality. Willpower is like a battery. You use it, it starts to deplete. Imagine you wake up at 100%. And then you resist eating a cookie - boom! 85%. When your willpower is at its lowest, you enter a stage called ego depletion, similar to burnout. Ofc, it is recommended that you don't reach depletion, which also increases your stress levels. For that, erase the thought that willpower is a limited resource. Think of it as a muscle. Then train it, while also taking time for recovery. Every day, choose one to three tasks that are challenging or that you passionately dislike doing: cold showers, math exercises, running, brushing your teeth, reading. Do them daily until you start liking them or they become a habit. You can now think of another one to three tasks. Some activities were proven to increase willpower. You can guess - exercising and meditation. Now, if you actually enjoy them - good for you. Do something else. And if you really, really want a hack (that will help, but will NOT solve your problems): Willpower is at its highest in the morning and it decreases during the day. While reading about self-control and willpower, I found and listened to an interesting episode of the Huberman Lab which had as a guest David Goggins (please google him and read his books - the man is a legend). They were talking about improving mental strength (aka willpower). This is part of the information that truly amazed me:

Unless your brain is damaged, you do have willpower. You have to grow it and for that, you have to know, you have to be convinced that you are fully capable of achieving anything. Willpower grows when you do the things you hate doing. Anything you love to do, it doesn’t enhance your willpower. And when you don't feel like doing them, the one you have to fight is the conversation in your head. What is worse is that it is no fun. You will suffer and you will grow from it. And if you are doing all the hard things, if you are fighting every day and you feel like you are missing something, that’s because you don’t know who you are.

“You do it and do it and do it and do it. That’s the hack.” - David Goggins

Very interesting conversation about discipline and doing hard things and the impact that can have in our brains.

Hello Achiever Fam! Ready to transform your body and boost your health?

Today, we're diving deep into the world of fat loss, unmasking the myths and revealing the truths with "The ONLY Fat Loss Video You'll Ever Need to Watch!" 🏋️‍♂️💥 First off, let’s talk about weighing yourself. To avoid the emotional rollercoaster of daily weight fluctuations, weigh yourself every morning after using the bathroom and take the weekly average. This method provides a more stable and accurate reflection of your progress. 📉 Here's the deal with calories: If you eat more than you burn, you gain weight; eat less, and you lose weight. Simple, right? But there’s more to it than just calories in and out. Let’s break down some game-changing factors: Sleep: Poor sleep can spike stress hormones like cortisol, which not only makes losing fat harder but also encourages your body to store fat, especially around your belly. Aim for consistent, quality sleep to keep your weight loss goals on track. 🌙✨ Fats: Don’t fear fats! Especially omega-3 fatty acids like EPA, which help regulate your metabolism and may even curb your appetite. Aim for at least 1,000 milligrams per day from sources like fatty fish or supplements. 🐟🥑 Sugar Cravings: These are often linked to what’s happening in your gut. Feeding your body essential nutrients can help stave off those cravings. Amino acids and essential fats are your allies here. 🍬➡️🥗 Thyroid Health: Your thyroid, which helps regulate metabolism, needs nutrients like iodine and selenium.

Boost your selenium with Brazil nuts and get iodine from seafood or iodized salt. 🦐🥜 Movement: Small movements throughout the day, like fidgeting, can increase your calorie burn. Embrace those little activities to boost your overall energy expenditure. 🏃‍♂️ Cold Exposure: Utilize the power of the cold to boost fat burning. Short, controlled exposure to cold can help enhance your metabolism and increase fat loss. ❄️🧊 Fasting: Integrating fasting with your sleep cycle can enhance its effects. Delaying breakfast or dining earlier can extend your natural fasting period, aiding in weight loss. ⏲️🍽️ Exercise: Incorporate a mix of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), sprint interval training (SIT), and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) to maximize fat burning and improve your physical health. Each has its benefits, so find the right mix that fits your lifestyle and goals. 🚴‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

So, that's a wrap on cutting through the fat loss confusion! How many of these strategies are you already using, or plan to try? Drop your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. 📝 Stay tuned and subscribe for more insights and comparisons on natural supplements and health strategies. Catch you in the next video, Achiever Fam! Bye! 👋💪

So, my faithful readers. You may remember that in recent times I've had a ton of trouble sleeping, and generally felt like shit a lot of the time.

Well, for the last month I've changed two things in my morning routine and they've made a huge difference for me. They're both based on a YouTube video I watched featuring Dr. Andrew Huberman, an associate professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford.

The two things? First, as soon as I wake up I go outside and get sunlight in my eyes for fifteen minutes. According to the good doctor, even if it's cold and rainy there are enough photons bouncing around to do the trick. And apparently that trick is that it signals to the brain that it needs to give me sleepy time hormones at the proper time of night, like 16 hours later. Aside from one manic period in the last month, it worked really well. I'm going to bed on time and falling asleep quickly.

The other thing? I wait for 90 minutes after I wake up to have coffee. I don't remember exactly how he said it, so forgive me... But apparently caffeine blocks the receptors for the wakey-uppy hormones that your body release when you get up, and if you wait for the cuppa it all but eliminates the afternoon slump/crash.

Before I tried this I'd be literally nodding off on the couch while I was watching my niece after school. Now I'm awake and alert until things start slowing down close to bedtime.

So, yeah. I feel so much better these days, even with the clocks changing and winter's approach. It feels good to feel good.

A few notes about creativity.

Intro.

I listened to an interview with Rick Rubin, link at the end, I'll just share a few notes I took about creativity.

Tried to do a Rothko - Pollock collabotarion with an AI here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Creativity notes.

When creating something (a book, a song, a videogame, etc.), limit your options, work with those options only, don't have way too many options. Too many options can be overwhelming, and can lead to not really ever doing anything (just a brainstorming session after another brainstorming session and so on).

Know how you feel, do it the way it feels right for you at the beginning, you can change some or many things later on. 

Novelty is interesting and attracts people to things, perhaps we can't create a completely new thing, but we can present preexisting ideas in a different and unique way, perhaps also playing with presenting things from a different perspective.

Find a thread, go from there.

Collect seeds all the time (ideas, learn new things that interest you, even if they don't seem to be related with your current or future proyect).

Self doubt can be used as a balancing tool. Question what you're doing and make changes, but not too much, not too little.

If you have a proyect you're working on, set an internal deadline that only you or people involved know (not super long infinite deadline, it can be bad because you can spend way too much time on something that needs finishing). Set that deadline and don't have a public deadline yet.

All people who are famous creatives work hard, talent isn't enough, they may have had some crazy things happen in their life, but they're experts because they are constant hard workers. Don't believe that only people who are extremely talented can create great things, anyone can do it if they really try.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion.

That's it! I wanted to do a shorter different post, enjoy.

goal setting

i listened to andrew huberman's 'goals toolkit' today and it motivated me (as usually when i am not home to actually implement into my actual daily life) to think about the last quarter of the year and the goals i want to achieve until the end of the year

go to the gym 3 times a week

meditate daily

do yoga daily

stop drinking coffee (again)

run once a week (if there's no snow)

write daily (no matter how much or how bad)

that's where i am at currently and i am aware that i need to implement them one at a time and, in true atomic habits fashion, ideally put them into cute little habit chains so they can go and be automized by my brain :))
