I used to struggle to fall asleep every single night.

The 4-7-8 method fixed it for me:

- 4-second nose inhale
- 7-second hold
- 8-second mouth exhale
- Repeat 3-5x

It works by activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and recovery.

Next time you find yourself staring at the ceiling, mind racing, give it a shot.

To be honest, I used to think breathwork was nonsense, but then I tried it, and completely changed my mind.

Kudos to @hubermanlab and others who created content on it that helped me understand the science.

My book shares three breathing practices that help promote a calm state.
Here's the piece in the Physical Wealth Guide that shares the three breathing protocols.

Important to remember that stress is good when managed appropriately.

You want to learn to "turn on" when you need to and then "turn off" when it's recovery time.

Breathwork helps. Image

My wife and I recently celebrated our 8th anniversary.

Over the last year, I asked couples who have been married 50+ years what advice they’d give to their younger selves.

Here’s the relationship advice everyone needs to hear:
1. Tell your partner you love them every night before falling asleep. Someday you’ll find the other side of the bed empty and wish you could.

2. Never keep score in love.

3. Laugh until you cry. Laughing together goes a long way to smooth the inevitable bumps in the road.
4. Never stop dating. “I’m 99 and still courting my wife! Marriages don’t get boring, you stop trying.”

5. Do one act of service for your partner every day, but never tell them about it.

6. Time doesn’t heal when it comes to relationships. Don’t delay difficult conversations.

I see a lot of bad advice out there when it comes to making money.

Here's my attempt to provide some good...

My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money:
1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value.

Here's a harsh truth: No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works.

Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created.
The only way to get rich is to create a lot of value for others, and capture a portion of that.

It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing.

The only way is by doing the thing.

I think the whole “alcohol is poison” thing is too black and white.

Social connection is one of the most important factors for your physical health.

If having a beer with your friends promotes that connection, good for you.

If it doesn’t, also good for you.

The point: Do you.
I’ve personally reduced my alcohol consumption about 90-95%, but if I’m with a new or old friend and they want to share a drink of something special, I’m in.
Further, as a society, I think that we should worry less about the couple of beers we drink per month and more about the fact that we stare at phone screens all day, argue on social media with strangers, consume too much sugar, and are far more sedentary than our ancestors.
