How To Become a Better Version of Yourself,
[ tactics I've gathered since 1966 ]

//thread
Stay away from ALL news

This will save you YEARS of your life.
The news has nothing for you.
Nothing you can't live without.

"But who will I vote for?"
Flip a coin.

"But what about the Pandemic?"
Wear a mask or don't wear a mask.

Get on with your life.
Curate your social media

• don't follow shitty people
• follow inspirational accounts
• follow people who teach you something

If you find yourself scrolling and getting lost, delete the app.

Cut toxic people from your life

This one is MASSIVE.

• you don't have to be nice by "staying FB friends"
• If they're constantly negative, CUT BAIT

"But they're family!"
Doesn't matter. Toxic is toxic.
Forgive them and then release them.
Break up with processed sugar

She's toxic too.

• start by cutting sugar from your drinks; no Pepsi, no Coke, no juice (yea, I said it)
• cut desserts including pancakes and waffles (yes, those are desserts)

Or

Stop cold turkey like my wife & I did in January.

You'll live
Move your body 30 minutes a day

You don't have to get a gym membership for this.

Walking or biking has massive benefits, especially for mental health.

You don't need to do High Intensity Interval Training.

Imagine walking or biking in Central Park.

Like that.
Meditate 10 minutes a day

Doctors should be prescribing more meditation and less pills.

• meditation is proven to make you happier
• meditation helps manage anxiety, stress and depression
• meditation improves concentration and attention
Start w/ 5 min. a day for a week

If you can't do that, start with 1 minute a day & work your way up from there.

(DM me for a link to the best YouTube video I've ever watched about the power of the mind by Dr. Joe Dispenza)
Meditating is a superpower.

10 minutes a day is enough.
Drink more water

Trust me, you're not drinking enough. Drink 1/2 an ounce for every pound you weigh.

Water
• carries oxygen to your cells
• boosts skin health
• regulates body temperature which helps you think more clearly
• helps and prevents headaches.
Your brain is strongly influenced by your hydration status.

Drink more water.
Make sure you're getting enough sleep

Adults need 7 to 8 hours. You do to. You're not special

• study the Circadian Rhythm
• get direct sunlight early (even 5 minutes)
• block blue light after 6pm
Easily summed up:

1. Curate your social media
2. Stay away from all news
3. Cut toxic people from your life
4. Break up with processed sugar
5. Move your body 30 min. a day
6. Meditate 10 minutes a day
7. Drink more water
8. Get enough sleep
Do that for 30-60 days and you won't recognize yourself.

I'm 55 years old. All that ⬆️⬆️⬆️ comes from doing it, from experience.

Not from theory.
You have no idea how badly I want you to win.

Send me a DM and I'll send you the video. Changed my life.

"83% Of All Marriages Are Unhappy"

My wife gives her very best advice to get you into the top 17%

// thread Image
I NEVER EVER talk poorly about him behind his back. I always lift him up. No matter what.

Women are black belts in this. Stop it.
I'm interested in what he's doing.

He goes through phases.

• early in our marriage he trained for triathlons
• then went through a poker phase
• now, it's Twitter.

I love it. (And I love that I get to post on his page today)

I'm 55 years old and I have ONE regret in life.

If I could have ONE do-over, I know exactly what it would be.

// thread
I grew up in the mountains of Vail, Colorado. My high school not only had a football team, we had ski team!

At the end of the season of my senior year, I missed going to State in cross-country skiing, by just a few points.
My biggest regret, my ONLY regret, is NOT that I didn’t make it to State,

It’s that I didn’t even try, and that's why I didn't qualify.

"I heard you die twice. Once when they bury you in the grave. And the second is the last time someone mentions your name." -Macklemore
1. Stop playing it safe.

Live a life that will make your grandkids say, "My grampa was a bad ass!"

• he jumped out of an airplane
• he ran a marathon
• he rolled a cuban cigar...in Havana

Whatever it is, wherever you are, LIVE a life worth remembering.

Todd: No
Lisa: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?
Todd: There are three that we know of.
Lisa: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?
Todd: Yes…. they don’t have guns….they have knives – they took over the plane with knives.
Lisa: Do you mean…like steak knives?
Todd: No, these are razor knives…like box cutters.
Lisa: Can you tell what country these people are from?

Advice to men in their 20’s from a 55-year-old who’s been around'.

<thread>
Invest in yourself.

Get jacked. You don’t have to pay for a gym membership, YouTube is enough.

Read these 3 books:

• Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl.
• How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
• Atomic Habits by @JamesClear
Sell your gaming system.

They’re dream killers.

Invest money from the sale into an IRA.

Buy more books.

I started preparing a document for my wife titled,

“Babe, If I die unexpectedly”

I know. Weird.

It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years but haven’t had the time.

I’m not a big fan of flying.

I have to force myself to think about something else because if I think about the giant metal tube I’m in, moving through the air at 575 miles per hour, I freak out.

According to a friend of mine who’s a pilot, “I have control issues.”
And so, every time I fly without my wife, I think about writing this document.

My initial thought was to tell her where all the passwords are, give her a list of important phone numbers, like our accountants (in both countries), doctors, partners, etc.
