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.
Keep in mind the signal to noise ratio that you have for a particular topic. When you read the news every morning, you have a lot of data but also a lot of noise which may hide the signal. Important stuff will always reach you when needed.
If you are successful at one thing, then more opportunities will come your way. You will meet more people and more people open even more doors for you which lead to the manifestation of more opportunities.
If you are on a caloric deficit in order to loose weight watch out for the small stuff you may do every day that will add up calories. If you put milk in your coffee that could be ok, but if you drink five coffees per day then this can add up.
If you look for the best way to quickly escape reality, read a book. It engages most of your senses quickly. When you read a book you fantasize about it, your eyes and hands are occupied with it.
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.
You don't need so much of it. If you need much sugar, it is usually a sign that something else is wrong.
Write down stuff that need to get done. Don't rely on other people to remind you about them.
Start running or biking or swimming or any other form of exercise where your heart rate is in the aerobic zone. Consider investing time into the Maffetone Method .
Nobody is leaving happy from a negotiation if both parties have skin in the game.
Don't fix something that is not broken, or things that rather should be left alone.
