Injury Led To Losing Then Rebuilding Habits
- Paul Faberates shared how repeated wrist and hand injuries derailed his basketball path and led to bad habits like daily hookah and marijuana use.
- Establishing structured habits later helped him recover purpose, certifications, and a new career path.
Get Direct Morning Sunlight
- Get 10–15 minutes of direct morning sunlight outside (not through a window) to wake up and set your circadian rhythm.
- Morning light plus a cold shower reduced Paul Faberates' need for caffeine and improved alertness.

- Avoid checking your phone for the first hour after waking and the last hour before sleep to prevent reactive thinking and blue-light stimulation.
- Use that morning hour for creative work like journaling, reading, or tackling your biggest task.
