I believe that although most of us are different and we've got unique lives and we need slightly different approaches, I believe that the most important daily practice that any one of us can do in the 21st century is a daily practice of solitude. I want to say solitude, I'm simply talking about time with yourself.

If you get up and the first thing you do is start consuming from the outside, whether it's news, whether it's social media, even if it's good quality information, you've lost an opportunity to listen to yourself. Our body is always sending us signals. And in this world of content and information, I think many of us are never getting that time to listen to ourselves.

So the only way you get to know if you're telling yourself a nice story and kidding yourself is by sitting with yourself every day, only for five or 10 minutes if that's all you've got. But that could be It could be meditation. It could be breath work. It could be some yoga moves. It could literally be having a cup of coffee and not also scrolling Instagram and email at the same time.

It could be going to the toilet without taking your smartphone with you. Something that many people find revolutionary. Seriously, but it is. The truth is, Chris, it really is for people because these little micro moments where you allowed your own thoughts to come up are being eroded out of life. So I'm not putting all the blame on smartphones, right? Ultimately, it's just a tool.

It's our relationship with the tool that determines the impact they have on us. But if you practice sitting with yourself, it doesn't have to be in the morning. I happen to think the morning is the best time for most people. You will start to know when your heart rate's going up. You will start to know when you're telling yourself fibs.

I mean, one thing I do every morning, Chris, well, there's a couple of things I do. One of the things I do is a breath hold work meditation practice that I learned from, do you know the MoveNAT founder, Ewan LaCour?

Natural movement guy. He's been promoting natural movement for years. About two years ago, I did his new breathwork course online. It was twice a week for four weeks. It was probably one of the most life-changing practices I've done for me personally. I remember because I was on a book tour as it happened at the time. I'd just arrived in Stockholm. I got to my hotel room.
