Daily practice

There are some learning experiences I recently had.

Get yourself in a mental space and a physical environment that brings out the best in you.

Create yourself a morning routine that gets you started in the right way. Mike CF outlined his good daily routine. I wash my face with cold water, do some alpha poses, jump up and down, shadow box, I drink a glass of water, look at my visual inspiration board, think about my goals and sit quiet for a few minutes with a cup of green tea. All this doesn’t take more than 30 minutes. Then I take my bike to work while listening to a motivational audio book. Doing this consistently over two to three weeks made a big difference in my alertness and general happiness. I am in a resourceful state and immune against annoying people. My road rage disappeared.

Know what is good for you. Protect your time.


Recently, I have been meeting several girls each week and realized that I did not really desire most of them. They were alright, but not exciting. I had one date with a teacher who was complaining about the desolate state of the school system. Out of politeness I stayed longer than I wanted while feeling guilty for wasting precious life time with an activity I did not enjoy.

Another situation: I’ve been meeting with an old friend, looking forward to a good conversation. However, he also invited some of his colleagues, which I did not know. As a consequence, the main part of that meeting was wasted with dull small talk. I had no real interest in these people, though I was stuck with them for logistical reasons for two hours. I’d rather spent that Sunday afternoon alone.

As David Deida explains in “The way of the superior man”, we need austerity and challenge to recharge and gain strength. It is of high importance to have alone-time each day.
Be alert and prepared for your interactions. If you don’t enjoy them, cut them short and have a plan ready.

Surround yourself with people that make you shine and rise to the occasion.

On the other hand: I went on a date that effortlessly brought out the best in me. I had enough sleep, went to the gym, had a good steak with sweet potatoes and broccoli, dressed well, and then met her early in the evening in a cosy café. A beautiful girl – smart, ambitious, feminine, educated, with international experience.

The conversation flowed effortlessly, I was the kind of man I want to be. Alert, masculine, playful and confident, spontaneous and direct, happy, in charge, humorous. We went on to a good sushi restaurant (she paid) and ended the night in a classy bar. She was snuggling up to me like a cat, moaning with pleasure and telling me how she can’t wait to get home with me.

You know that certain people and environments bring out the best in you. Make an effort to be in those environments that bring out your greatness. What are these environments? Manage your energy. Protect your time. Play on a field that is good for you.

There will be setbacks. They will pass.

I’ve been ill with a cold again, my heating broke down, and a friend cancelled a planned short vacation. So I went to a house party of a former girlfriend and met new, interesting people. Felt this need to belong to something, being seen as a person, self-accepting, with peace of mind. You can’t accomplish this for situation in your past. You can only get it now and for the future. Just know that there will be setbacks and that they will pass.
