Hi friend,
I’m coming back to the UK & Ireland with a brand new live show.
Edinburgh, Portsmouth, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Exeter, London, Dublin (Sold Out), Newcastle & Belfast 🚀
I came across a great question to help you understand why a decision might be hard.
“When I am faced with this decision, how old do I feel?”
Maybe you’re trying to decide on something right now, if not then imagine a decision from the past.
When you bring up the uncertainty of that decision, how old do you feel?
A lot of the time we feel an age where we didn’t have any power to change the situation.
5 or 9 or 12 years old.
This makes us feel trapped with the agency of a child but in the body of an adult.
What would the adult version of you do, if the child inside you could step aside and let them take charge? What decision would you make to protect that child inside you? What would the child ask you to do on their behalf?
I really love this sequence of questions.
I hope they help if you’re feeling a bit stuck x

THINGS I’VE LEARNED
1.
The Far Left is on the rise.
“The number of incoming college students who describe their political beliefs as “far left” has tripled since the early 1980s, and doubled since 2013.
The number of far-left Gen Z college students even exceeds the number among the Boomers of the early 1970s.” — Rob Henderson
2.
Use your unfair advantage.
“You’re supposed to use every unfair advantage you have.
Looks, genetics, connections, dad’s money, whatever.
There’s nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.” — PathOfMen
3.
If you don’t have peace, you can’t enjoy any of this.
“A sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ.” – John Steinbeck
LIFE HACK
Upgrade your energy, improve your mitochondria.
If you’ve noticed your energy isn’t quite what it used to be — even though you eat well and stay active — there’s a reason for that.
As we age, our mitochondria (the parts of our cells that power us) become weaker and make less energy.
Timeline is backed by over a decade of research, has more than 50 patents, and is the #1 doctor-recommended mitochondrial supplement on the planet.
It’s been clinically proven to improve mitochondrial function and muscle strength.
I started taking it over two years ago, because it was recommended to me by my doctor and that’s why I’ve used it for so long — since way before I knew who made the product.
Best of all, there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee, plus free shipping in the US, and they ship internationally.
