3 tiny habits that dramatically upgraded my life:

Habit 1: No Phone for 30 Minutes Upon Waking
Checking your phone to start your day is an invitation for stress.
The immediate burst of notifications, requests, and questions starts your day on a bad note.
Create boundaries to start your day on your terms.

I used to be one of those people who checked their phone before even getting out of bed.
Now I wait until after a few morning rituals:
• Morning body movements
• 3-7 minute cold plunge
• Drive to get coffee
My life has dramatically improved as a result.

P.S. If you're curious, my morning body movements:
• 5 push-ups
• 5 squats
• 5 lunges per leg
• 30-second plank
I call it my 5-5-5-30 Method.
It’ll give you a natural energy boost and start your day with a winning feeling.
It just plain works.

Habit 2: Grayscale Mode for 90% of Day
Grayscale Mode removes the colors to make your phone immediately less appealing and addicting.
When you put your phone on Grayscale mode, you eliminate the urge to pick it up and "just check" throughout the day.
It will change your life.

Habit 3: 1-1-1 Journaling Before Bed
Before going to bed, take 5 minutes and write down:
• 1 win from the day
• 1 point of tension, anxiety, or stress
• 1 point of gratitude
I've been doing this for over a year and it completely changed my sleep and mindset...
Here's why:

Writing down the win gives you a pat on the back for whatever you accomplished.
Writing down the point of tension gets it off your mind and onto the paper so that you can clear your head.
Writing down the point of gratitude gives you more appreciation for your life.

I normally do 5-5-5-30 right after getting out of the cold plunge.
Helps warm up the body after the cold and compounds the jolt of energy.
Basically like an IV drip of that good natural caffeine.

Please stop @ me about my choice of coffee.
Dunkin is the best coffee in the world and it’s not even close.
Large black cold brew is the scientifically proven best order.
Many, many studies have shown this.
