Tried a new micro-meditation this morning: 🌬 “I clear my mind” on inhale 🌬 “I clear my body” on exhale Repeat 5 times (takes about 2 minutes). Works both while sitting and as walking meditation.

Asking for help ≠ failure? How perfectionism kills growth.

True success is when you stop sacrificing TODAY for ONE DAY. If you have a lot of money but you are waiting for “tomorrow” to live the life you want and do what matters to you — you are not successful. Financial freedom doesn’t automatically unlock personal freedom.

Learning is easy and safe. You pick up a book, sit on a comfy couch and read at your own pace. Yet the most advanced knowledge is worth nothing unless you have courage to ACT on it. Execution is a very vulnerable place. But it’s also the only place where real growth happens.

In a short-term game, we’re trying to grab the biggest slice of the pie to make OURSELVES rich. In a long-term game, we’re baking the biggest pie together by combining our skills and talents to make EVERYBODY rich (and to have fun co-creating). Zero-sum vs. Positive-sum game.

Simplicity = freedom to move. When we pile up too much stuff, to many projects, goals, tasks, excuses, “nuances” and complaints, we lose agility and flow. Let go. Declutter. Streamline your sailboat. ⛵️

All long-term solutions don’t work in a dynamic system. Life = dynamic system. Only those who can quickly adapt to ever-changing conditions succeed. That’s why I advocate for agile approach both in business and in life. Set 3 goals for 3 weeks. Review, recharge, and repeat.

Powerful communications formula: (1) COMPETENCE + (2) WARMTH 1. Show that you are an EXPERT with real-life experience. 2. Show that you are a HUMAN who cares and genuinely wants to help. Works for public speaking, business negotiations, conflict resolution... anything!

I have just discovered this research on ego development by Susanne Cook-Greuter. It’s mind-blowing, guys. Do check it out, it’s the best 90 pages I have recently read. cook-greuter.com/Cook-Greuter%2…

My first Youtube video in English 🥳 on how you can use 3-week agile sprints and neuroscience to achieve your goals without burnout. Check it out: youtu.be/uIMSi6rgZ8k

We don’t learn from mistakes. We learn from reflection on mistakes. No reflection – no learning. Weekly reflection: ☑️ What have I accomplished this week? ☑️ What actions helped me move forward (I will do more of it) ☑️ What actions slowed me down (how can I do it differently)

Focus is a rare superpower of the 21st century. I struggled with distractions my entire life and studied dozens if articles on neuroscience and psychology to find a solution. Here’s a 20 min guide for strengthening “focus muscle” 💪 that I put together: youtu.be/qW9m0hpNGg8

Our brain finds comfort in the status quo. Yet, this comfort is the #1 limiting factor in our growth. We don't change when things are "okay." Remember: To thrive in any area of life — we need stability and safety, layered with change and challenge.

Bad systems kill good intentions.

9 times out of 10 the perfect moment to act is NOW

True for both kids and adults: “Bad” behavior comes from having emotions without having the skills to manage it.

Very interesting. Dancing works better than CBT and antidepressants! Source: bmj.com/content/384/bm…
