If you're thinking about it all the time, and I have a whole, I added a chapter in this book, the last chapter I wrote is on routines. And routines are basically a mechanism that gets rid of your ability to negotiate with yourself. I mean, I think of that- How do you do that though? By small steps. Yeah. Small steps. Don't try and do everything at once.
I lay out in the book all the routines I've built. I lay out in the book routines from other individuals as well. And you can Google a lot of amazing health experts and look at their routines, but give yourself the gift, of deciding what you consider healthy for yourself and take it in small incremental steps. And if you do that, after a while, when I get out of bed, I set my alarm as a backup.
I typically, this morning I woke up at 5.15, I'm up between like 5.15 and 5.30 because I go to sleep by 9.30 the night before. It's like, for me, everything begins by me You know, turning down the lights at nine, going into a getting ready for sleep, putting on my blue light blocking glasses, slowing things down.
I listened to a audible book on tape as sort of like, it's like being read a bedtime story at night as an adult. Really?
Well, yeah, it's like I set a 15 minute timer And I go, some people like reading, some people like a hot bath, some people are focused on prayer, but there are certain triggers that you can have that get you from wide awake to slowing down and getting ready for sleep. We can talk about turning down room temperature and all a bunch of other things,
When I'm up in the morning, that first hour and a half is mine. And it's when I have maximum control of my day. Is that the same for you? Sure.
Yeah. So you might have different days that I'll do different things, but every day it's, you know, some red light meditation. I use something called a pulsetto, which is a vagal nerve stimulator to basically put me into parasympathetic state. And all of these things have become routine for me. I just bought a home sauna, which I'm excited to start using. I know, it's great.
So these are the routines that you do that feel natural. And if you don't have the routines, you find yourself in a position of renegotiating things with yourself. And a routine becomes a habit, which is the mechanism by which you don't negotiate with yourself. It's what I do. It's who I am. It becomes identity. It becomes identity.
A routine that I want to have?
And by the way, if you're dictatorial on it and you don't give yourself the ability to forgive yourself for eating something that just couldn't help, That's not healthy either, right? To rigidity is not good. I mean, it's like, give yourself credit for what you're able to do. And one of the other things, by the way, I'll come back to your question in a moment, is be careful at night.
I mean, night is when things break down, right? You have a certain amount of willpower. Yeah. And you know this, right? Of course. You have your greatest willpower in the morning. And as you've had an exhausting day, I battled, oh my God, I deserve that piece of cake. Damn it, I worked hard today. You know, I think I...
want more meditative time in my life, and I need more stretching time in my life. So those two things are probably, if I had to move the needle, I have to let go of something else. There is one thing that all humans have in common, all humans, everywhere, from Elon Musk to the poorest child, it's 24 hours a day, seven days in a week, 365 in a year. It's how we use our time that is everything.
Yeah.
It is. Not being interrupted throughout the night. Yeah. So I use an Oura Ring to gamify my sleep. I have an eight-sleep mattress. How helpful is that? It is because I think one of the things that lets me sleep through the night is having a mattress that cools me down. And I can shape the temperature curve to the night and it warms up in the morning. To wake you up. To wake me up.
I've just added a set of full spectrum lights that as the sun sets, the lights become, you see the sun setting and getting red. And then in the morning, the lights come on in a blue, you know, and so this is about controlling your cortisol levels and just getting you started for the day. And so these are things that you can do.
I mean, you have to remember, all of this got programmed 200,000 years ago. You know, we lived outside. We were in nature. We were in nature. You know, we're grounded, feet on the ground. We woke up when the sun came up, went to sleep when the sun went down.
But it was predation, and it was infection, and it was a whole slew of other things.
Yeah. I don't have an answer for you. I think you'd be better off answering that.
Yeah, I think, you know, you have to be... loving life to want to live, right? So I love life. I truly love life. I love the world I'm living in, my family, the things I get to do. And that gives me this joy and this desire to live as long as I can. And I'm driven by making a difference, right?
My massive transformative purpose is to inspire and guide entrepreneurs to create a hopeful, compelling and abundant future for humanity. And so that's what I love doing. And in a similar – very similar way to what you do, it's how do I inspire people to go big, to create a life they love living? And I think trauma – is very real and needs to be addressed.
