To my future child,
Over the years I have collected a lot of advices and kept the ones that are quite useful. Here are some simple rules so you can navigate the boring stuff of life and enjoy the less boring parts of it.
I hope that they will help you and that you may add some more to them, pass them along so people you care about will enjoy life with you, because a life in solitary and with no one to share what you know with, is a life not well lived.
Get out, walk, leave your house, drive somewhere, do something different.
If something is old, it will probably be around for quite some time. A book that exists for 100 years will also be around in the next 100 years. This is called the Lindy effect.
When you are grieving get a massage. Touch itself is analgesic for the human mind and body. Infants may day if they are not touched and taken care of.
Be with a partner that is emotional stable and mature. He/she should have figured out his/her emotional problems and be mentally healthy.
If you want to create something that will last for a long time, target something that will work today and would have worked also 30 years ago.
Every day we face endless decisions, what to eat, drink, wear, say, how to behave etc. All of that can be quite overwhelming for our minds. To prevent decision fatigue you can create a fixed routine for recurring decisions.
Get at least 7 hours of sleep. What is considered normal ,for human beings, is from 7-9 hours of sleep. You need that much sleep in order your body and brain to be able to work at their best.
Go out in the world and do what you are good at and your mind will be fully focused.
1. You can focus on how many times you have been wronged. or 2. Work with what you have got.
Never ever be with someone that is jealous, needy or a stalker.
