Sharing Space

I posted this as a Substack link a while back, but it was removed for some reason. So here's my potted version of it. There's a lot of science behind it, which you can research at the Huberman Labs site.

You have to do it first thing in the morning. Before coffee. Before looking at your phone. Make it the FIRST THING YOU DO.

1. Get outside into the daylight and open your eyes wide for 2 minutes. (I've bought a daylight lamp for the winter months)

2. Immerse your face in ice-cold water, then your pulse points , left and right; and then pour the water over the back of your neck.

3. Do 2 minutes of pranayama (I do equal breathing, long exhalation, box breating and nadi shodana)

4. Write down in a journal what you want to achieve today, what you're looking forward to doing and what your grateful for.

5. Do 2 minutes of cardio to get your heart rate up (I do star jumps, our cross lateral march, some burpees)

I have noticed amazing results by doing this every day for the last few months—no slumps in energy, no caffeine cravings, greater enjoyment, less procrastination.

I'd love to hear how you find it!
