I'm ruminating on all these dark ideas, and I'm not sure what I want to do with my life, whatever. And he's like in his mid-20s, and part of me was like, bro, you're a baby. Like, just keep going. Like, you got a long way before you have to worry about some of these things. Like, just keep going. I didn't go that route. He was in a place where I wanted to be very positive.

So I'm just kind of like asking him questions like, hey, you drinking or smoking? No. I'm like, what's going on with your sleep? He's like, I can't sleep, blah, blah, blah. And I said, well, are you working out? And he's like, no. I go, zero workouts. He goes, no workouts. I go, here's what I want you to do. Do not text me again for a month.

And I said, well, are you working out? And he's like, no. I go, zero workouts. He goes, no workouts. I go, here's what I want you to do. Do not text me again for a month.

Go work out four to five times a week for a month, and then I want you to text me. I guarantee the tone of your text will be different. Yeah. And that was a little over a month ago, and he texted me two days ago and was like, dude... I still don't know what I want to do, but I'm sleeping. I'm feeling better. I'm not procrastinating on shit anymore.

And sometimes it's just get yourself in a position. Just do a few of the right things. You can eat fries. Just eat reasonably well the rest of the week. You know what I mean? It's not... I feel like we've gotten into this black or white society where if I'm going to eat healthy, I have to be organic and vegetables and meat only.

And if I'm going to work out, I got to go seven days a week and have a program. And it's like, eh. Just start with a few things. Like start with just something small that gets you in the right direction and that momentum will take you there. And then, to your point, once you're feeling a little better, you can kind of pick your head up and look around and go, okay, what do I want to do?

And I think this is something that I don't think we talk about enough is like the seasons of life, right? Like when you're in your 20s, just go do shit, dry shit, break shit, get fired, start a company, try different places in the country, whatever, whatever your life is, but like bang into things and see how they feel in your twenties.

Like I think sometimes people get so hung up on if I don't do my twenties right, then I'm screwed. And it's like, I'll tell you firsthand, I wasted my twenties. I had no idea what I wanted to do. Yeah, I had jobs, but none of them were productive. None of them really set my course. I wasn't fulfilled by any of them. It wasn't until my 30s until I started to find those things.

And now I find myself in a, I'm in a very good place. I work for a great company. You know, I get to talk to amazing people like you. I'm coming down to your book launch in a few weeks. Like, you know, it give yourself time and, and, and just incrementally grow instead of this. Like if I don't do this now I'm screwed. And then that puts you in a mindset of I'm screwed.

So now I'm not going to do anything. And then all of a sudden you find yourself 50 pounds overweight, stuffing chips and in your face while you're ripping down heaters and your life sucks.

Dude. And then to your point, you're chased, then you're chasing it the next day, right? Then you're having way too much caffeine to try to keep yourself awake or something worse. You're, you know, you know, you got to take five extra nicotine pouches or cigarettes or whatever, you know what I mean?

Like then all of a sudden you're chasing it the next day when you wake up in the morning and you are in that great place, you're, you're just, your body doesn't crave it. And, uh, I'll tell you, you know, we'll kind of, I'll, I'll leave it with this, you know, I, What works for me is just, I have a very simple mantra that's nothing unique, but works for me is just act as if, right?
