Even tho I was making more money in comparison to the beginning of my career, enough to get by at least, I couldn't reduce my workload. 
I was worried that I would've lost pace, I would've fallen behind. I wouldn't take any day off, I needed to work or it would've been the street again for me.

I grew up very poor

I started meditating and working out . Boring, I know, but it worked wonders

I divided my room into fixed compartments and designated one for work only

I implemented boot-up and shut down routines to clearly separate my work time from personal life

I tried to schedule me-time for proper rest, even if it was just for gaming, for a walk or to grab a drink at the corner pub I would still put it in my calendar

Or what I learned working, eating, sleeping and trying to relax in the same confined spaces for prolonged periods of time

Turn off notifications for social media apps

Reduce algorithmic feeds to a minimum with the help of custom lists, email automations and alternative apps

Block toxic, negative and unhelpful people as soon as you encounter them, no second thoughts

Consume deliberately by time blocking and being intentional instead of being enslaved by an algorithm

Schedule your content from afar by using third-party apps and services

Or how to be on the creation side of content without falling into the doom-scrolling trap

It can be harsh, but you’re not going to make better driving decisions by blocking the windshield. Set appropriate goals and don’t see threats, see challenges

Embrace Reality

We don’t feel confident and act, we act and feel confident. Be honest about your weaknesses so you can compensate for them. Focus on your average performance to make progress without disappointment

Boost Confidence

Without a feeling of control, we lose motivation. Realize you always have a choice. Create a starting ritual

Find Control

Don’t ignore your feelings. Accept and label emotions. See feelings as information, not dictators

Respond Instead of React 

In the end, the only motivation that matters comes from meaning. A greater purpose or the support of others. Gimme a high-five, willya?

Transcend Discomfort

Giving up at the first sign of difficulty doesn’t look good on anyone’s resume. So what can we learn from the new science of resilience?

Military and sports research has shown old school ideas about toughness don't work. Here's what really increases resilience...

Understand yourself and those around you.

Blueprints for a growth mindset

A week before he died, Musashi wrote the Dokkōdō, or The Way of Walking Alone.It consisted of 21 rules and provided a roadmap to live life by.The rules are strict and harsh, but honest and powerful

Dokkōdō, or The Way of Walking Alone

For generations, men have been known for dominance and control.However, not everything can be controlled.Flexibility is a key aspect in an even-tempered man.

1. Accept everything just the way it is

The search for pleasure is a dangerous adventure.Along the way, many men have gotten lost in pleasure.Alcohol, Drugs, SexGo into pleasure with you mind awareBecause on the other side of pleasure is pain.

2. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake

Go into everything whole-heartedly and non-apologetic.Mindless actions are typically stupid ones.Mindless experiences are typically forgettable ones.

3. Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling

Ego blinds and ego destroys.Go into any experience humble and respectful of your fellow man.

4. Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world

I've discussed attachment many times.The two strongest fears that men typically face is fear of death and fear of missing out. Both are born from attachment.If you do not control yourself, you will be controlled.

5. Be detached from desire your whole life long

Regret and guilt are both useless emotions.The past cannot be changed and the future cannot be determined.Focus on the present.You can't move forward while looking behind.

6. Do not regret what you have done

Envy is a bottomless pit of suffering.There will never be enough and you will never feel like you are enough.Don't seek to be the best.Seek to be the best version of yourself.

7. Never be jealous

We circle back to attachment.Attachment leads to fear and fear results in pain.Live fully in the moment because you can't control the future.

8. Never let yourself be saddened by a separation

Resentment is typically born from jealousy and greed.Seek to be the best version of yourself and complain about nothing.Don't waste energy complain, spend energy doing.

9. Resentment, complaint are inappropriate for oneself or others

Lust is a dangerous emotion and many men have sacrificed everything and been ruined by it.Love is a pure emotion, but a man can be blinded by it.Maintain awareness.

10. Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love

Remaining open minded relates to the flexibility we talked about in the first rule.Bias can be a waste of opportunity in business, love, and learning.

11. In all things have no preferences

Blind patriotism is antiquated.Find a region you like with weather that you enjoy and people you get along with.Plus, all you need is an internet connection to make money these days.

12. Be indifferent to where you live

Food should be consumed for nutrition.Taste is secondary.Man cannot live on ice cream alone.

13. Do not pursue the taste of good food

You will never realize how much useless stuff you own and never use until you are packing to move.Actively declutter.This goes hand-in-hand with rule 12.

14. Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need

Learn to think for yourself.Find your own traditions and rituals.The majority of people are NPCs so you should take pride in being different.

15. Do not act following customary beliefs

Every man should learn to fight and defend himself and those around him.However, do not be consumed by it.And remember, no plan survives the first point of contact.

16. Do not collect nor practice with weapons beyond useful

Attachment again, noticing a pattern?The greatest irony is that those most afraid of death are also afraid to live.

17. Do not fear death.

This is the one that may be more contextual for the time and Musashi's occupation as a wandering samurai.However, it is still a good point to mention the danger of greed.There is such thing as too much.

18. Do not seek to possess goods or fiefs for your old age

Regardless of your faith (or lack thereof), respect your fellow man and depend on nothing but yourself.Men lie and gods don't answer every prayer.

19. Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help

While it is important to never be apologetic, a man must follow his own ethics and values.To betray one's own ethics is to compromise one's soul.

20. You may abandon your body but you must preserve your honor

Go into everything whole-heartedly and do not stray from your own way.A man who lies to himself loses the ability to understand the truth.
