What activities/rituals do you do to improve yourself?
24
Run
Who hurt you?
Hilarious. No one hurt me. I need activity in my life.
How many miles do you run everyday
Between 3-6 miles a day, 4 days a week.
That's a good ritual
It helps keep the Covid 19lbs off and keeps my emotions in check.
For sure. Some activity is needed specially during times like these
Contemplate going to the gym, order pizza, fall asleep, wake up at 2am wanting to go to the gym.
😂 I can do pizza ritual all day long
Pepperoni for the win
Tried Jiu-Jitsu recently with the girlfriend. Hell of an experience but felt really good taking an exercise class/ letting out some stress with my partner
I always wanted to learn martial arts. Isn't juijitsu more like using opponents movements against them?
More or less. The great JuiJitsu artists know how to do that, but when you are just starting out they just teach you the basics
Gotcha. I always wanted to learn taekwondo
hit me up if you ever want some jits advice 11 years in and constantly learning!
Respect. It's a hell of a workout
11 years. That's amazing. You must be a master in the skill now
Meditation every morning. The app Headspace is everything.
I have heard so much about it. Should check it out
I started using headspace a couple months ago and it's a gamechanger in the morning or whenever you're stressed out. Give Headspace or Calm a look!
Will definitely do
Stretches, brisk walking, push ups and resistance band training
Good ones!

Daily habits. Read at least a chapter a day. Exercise 60-90 mins. And listen to a success audio/podcast.
Good stuff this is. I prefer morning workout instead of lunchtime
I like the chapter a day idea. Ive been trying to read a few books a month and I can go days without reading, then its easy to just quit
I can't stress this enough, therapy
therapy as a ritual?
Neck pints, bang gym
Write that down
Write that down
I just had to google that
Long walks, enjoying nature (either as an activity or just sitting outside,) staying off social media, staying away from negative news/media, eating low carb and low sugar, drinking plenty of water, keeping alcohol as a once in a while beverage, getting enough sleep, having a healthy distance from my cell phone whenever I can.
Well balanced ritual. I like it!
Taking time off.
Books, Podcasts!
Running, cycling, and swimming long distances. Amazing for the body and mind. Could not function without cardio.
That's a good one. How long do you cycle every day
swimming :raised hands
It changed everything for me. Literally everything. My family can tell when I didn’t meditate that morning lol.
So how long do you meditate every morning?
Weightlifting, meditation, read some books etc
Power-ritual!
Books to read; all the ones that help with sales and business acumen Ace eg Chris Voss - Never Split The difference. Marc Randolf - That Will Never Work.
Read the Chris Voss book. That will never work added to the list. Thank you!
In return, I would like to suggest 'The Innovation Stack' and 'Humanocracy'

Will check it out, thanks Ace!

WFH I started to exercise - take 30-40 minutes during lunch to do a quick online workout. It really helped my mental health and physical health. I also find it helps me re-focus mid day
That's awesome. When you say online, what do you mean?
I started with Heather Roberston's free 12 week workout and then I went into her other programs. All free online and don't require too much equipment.

Thanks for this!
Of course! Hope you like it if you try :)
Def will check it out!
The same exact morning routine everyday. Wake up, start my coffee, listen to "Make Your Bed" speech on my morning walk with my dogs, every single day. And a LONG LONG run with my dogs everyday after work to the dog park. I use the time they're playing to focus on my game plan for the next day.
This is awesome. What breed of dogs do you have?
Two monsters lol I have an Australian Kelpie, very high energy and a black lab, who also needs a lot of walking. Some days I just feel blah and they force me to get out of bed with sheer excitement of "do you want to go OUTSIDE" lol
Do you have any dogs?
Do you have any dogs?
Haha that's awesome. Both high energy dogs.
I don't have any yet. But I soon plan to get a Golden and a Malamute

Yes both great doggies!
Weightlifting, cardio, reading books. I’m eating pretty lean except in the weekends, where it’s a little bit more lose.
What's your diet like
It’s based on 40% protein 40% carbs and 20% fat. Around 550 calories each meal. And around 2100 calories daily 😄
That's calculated. Nice. No space for junk
In the weekend!
Do you still count the calories of junk or you let it loose?
Letting it loose. But not like 6000-7000 calories. We are talking around 3500-4000 max.
Only Saturday and Sunday :-)
Only Saturday and Sunday :-)
That's decent. I need to be more mindful of what I put in
75 mins of mixed workout, morning cold shower, healthy breakfast and constant hydration during the day ✌️
Curious, do you take cold showers even in winter? I know some people who do because it keeps them fresh. I could never do it
Read, eat well, dance and surround myself around positive people
Amen to that
Books, sports, good diet, thinking time
Simple and effective
I enjoy running while listening to podcasts
Is this every morning ritual or any time of the day?
It used to be every morning. Especially with work from home. Now I try to go 3 or 4 times a week. Random times throughout the day.
As long as you get the workout in
Drink lots of water. Sleep well. Cycling 60 minutes 4 days a week. Run while traveling.
The first point. So important but so subtle that many of us miss
I started a checklist recently. Every day I try to throw some notes in a gratitude journal, exercise, and then do 'something for me' - read a book, play fetch with my dog, binge a couple episodes on TV. Sometimes the 'something for me' is educational and sometimes it's just a mental break. I've found holding myself accountable to these 3 things each day is so satisfying.
This is a well balanced ritual
20-40 min body weight Pilates every single day. so easy to do anywhere, burns like hell & brings unreal mental clarity without having to commit to an hour of intense exercise
Ayye. Really a good one. I've been doing something similar too. Feels good
Yoga 🧘♀️ and meditation Also agree with the person that said therapy. No one is above it and everyone can use it. Maybe not daily but at least monthly.
Agreed. Some sort of physical exercise is necessary though
