Love the bit about life being a dream, I'm definitely going to explore the science behind that one!

On the days that I remember to slow down, I feel much calmer. And get more done, just calmly going from one task to another. It's quite relaxing.

I was thinking about it last night, and couldn’t quite remember how you phrased it, so I’ve copied and pasted to my OneNote.

Great article. Incredibly insightful, and I’m looking forward to exploring them further. To confirm, “Develop ninja mastery at not giving a f*ck when you’re alone.” I’m a bit confused and looking for confirmation that this means complaining privately leads to complaining publicly, as complaining privately is unhelpful, so STOP?

Thanks Jeffrey. It's about not succumbing to negative or doubtful thoughts when alone, as it's easy to fall into overthinking when alone. Be present or do things instead.

Brilliant. I’ve unfortunately lived off this shortcoming for a significant portion of my life. Much appreciated. Thank you.

‘…make life 100% better’? Why would you phrase it like that?

Lets live to love the present and love to be alone.

Alone but not lonely.

Enjoy your space.

Thank you for this. I found it really helpful. I am interested in what you said about Andrew Tate, and that part where you say you agree with a lot of what he has to say. What is it that you agree with that he has said? Am just interested.

Re: "Slow down your physical movements."

I once read - Visualize James Bond walking through a casino. Slow everything down, like walking underwater in a swimming pool.

lost me at "Andrew Tate took it the wrong way, failing to see the nuance and thinking I’d given up on life. Rather ironic, given I agree with a lot of what he has to say."
