The Munt
Observe everything. Listen intently.
Team leaf,
Due to working away i've recently established a penchant for audible. Like it or love it, it's the best $8.95 per month ive ever invested. From finances to fucking, it has opened my mind entirely.
One of the books i recently purchased was "own the day, own your life" by Aubrey Marcus. You might know him better as Joe Rogans partner in the business Onnit.com.
Long story short, i've implemented alot of his recommendations into my life and sweet mother of pearl im like a new man. Read or listen to it if you can. But i just want to share the 3 part wake up routine i have adopted that has literally made me feel like an entirely different human being each day.
Step 1: hydrate
I used to roll out of bed straight into the warm shower then reach for coffee... but the truth is if you've slept for 6+ hrs you are dehydrated. Period. The minute i wake up i head for the kitchen, i mix a 1/2 teaspoon of salt with 12oz water and 1/4 lemon juice squuezed. The salt and lemon has a host of minerals in it and helps you retain water for the rest of the day.
Step 2. Light and movement
If im home i head straight outside in my jocks and drink the mineral cocktail in the sunlight. When im working away im up before the sun so i just go straight to movement. You can do whatever feels good but just get moving. I like doing 10-20 of these things where i squat, then walk my hand out and do a push up, then walk myself back to a squat, stand up and repeat. Its important you dont exercise, just get a slight heart rate increase happening. Do whatever but just a quick 1-3mins movement.
Step 3: powa shower
Jump in the shower and make it as cool as is comfortable. Not cold but if you have it hot the change will feel more unbearable. Complete your washing then start breathing heavily for about 30 breaths, deep fast breaths in and out, until you just start to feel a bit lightheaded and a tingling in your fingertips,. This ensures your blood is hyper oxygenated (aka flight mode). Then take a final deep breath in and smash the cold water on full, hot off. It might seem insane, but let me tell you, provided you arent sick, its gonna be the best free thing you've ever done. I wont go into the science here, but i can not believe how fucking ready for the day, without socially accepted chemical dependance (coffee) i am in the mornings. Its fucking amazing and it works.
Just do it. See the difference. Get stronger and more resistant to life. Its proven to reduce stress and you are ready to run through a wall. Daily.
Had to share. But before you dismiss this as a drunken rant... just try it one morning.
Godspeed you lot.
