Your gut contains 50-100 MILLION nerve cells.

That's as many as your ENTIRE spinal column.

Here's why gut health should be a priority:

95% of your serotonin is produced in your gut.

Serotonin is involved in everything from:

→Pain Tolerance
→Appetite
→Mood
→Sleep

If your gut is off → everything above will be off.

The surface area of your gut is ~3,000 square feet.

And the entire gut is 1 CELL THICK.

Here's why that matters:

If there's a crack in the armor → unwanted toxins & pathogens can enter your body and cause:

→Autoimmune issues
→Allergies
→Sickness
→Bloating
→Rashes

Between 40-95% of your behaviors:

Come from nearly AUTOMATIC choices.

Here's how to prioritize a lifestyle of healthy habits:

2 habits are better than 1.

Use HABIT STACKING to add a new habit to an existing one:

→You love morning coffee
→You want to meditate more

→Meditate before your coffee
→Make coffee the REWARD for meditating

Over time → your brain will associate meditation with a reward

Replace 10 minutes here with 10 minutes there.

Use HABIT SUBSTITUTION to replace habits with better ones:

→You watch TV after work
→You want to read more

→Put a book where you watch TV
→After work: unplug your TV, sit down & read

SAME TRIGGER & REWARD → different habit.

You might meet 10,000+ people in life.

You CAN'T control → the actions of others.

But you CAN control → your own reactions.

Here's how to avoid negative reactions like anger:

Anger → is an emotion that evolved to help us with survival.

Anger → has become an emotion that only causes us pain.

When you embrace an emotion such as anger → you are:

Drinking poison → and expecting the other person to die.

To avoid anger → recognize your triggers.

Once you've increased your awareness of the triggers that cause an emotional reaction of anger → you can learn to avoid them.

Over time → you can catch & change emotional reactions entirely:

→Catch It
→Check It
→Change It

The world is FULL of problems.

But problems represent OPPORTUNITIES.

Here's how to become an incredible problem-solver:

To identify a problem, ask:

→Who is involved?
→What is involved?
→When did it begin?
→What can you do to address it?

Until you lay out the details of the problem objectively → you can't begin to work toward a solution.

To identify the cause of a problem, ask:

→What lead up to the problem?
→Has this problem happened before?

When you know what caused the problem → you will avoid similar problems in the future.

If the problem has happened before → you will save time finding a solution.
