I will forever be in your debt.

The deep life is the only life.

Oh, so far, so good, Jesse.

All right, another one says, I boiled my own daily self-care routine down to a pithy three words, read, write, sweat.

Those three things...

Don't make my day better, but on days when I do those three things are usually better days.

Another person says, my brain rot prevention practice is one, meditation guided 20 minutes, two, exercise 30 minutes of strength training, 30 minutes of cardio, three, yoga guided from 30 to 50 minutes, four, two 90 minute study blocks, one for career strictly exercise.

and 94 math and statistics, also career related.

I try to do as many of these as possible.

Doing the meditation, exercise, and yoga all in one morning before work changed my life.

When I do my 90 minute study block and anything involving reading, I read aloud to practice speaking what I'm thinking when I can.

I guess we can keep these off the screen, Jesse.

The text is so small, it's kind of hard to see.

Someone else said, I deactivated my social media account in January.

My experience was profound.

For my first two weeks, I was craving the apps badly.

After those two weeks, my brain started dumping out all of these imaginations and words with writing poetry.

Each day I was writing a page worth of poetry.

After about a month since quitting, my mind was quiet, my nervous system calm.

In the past four months, I've read almost 20 books.
