ANECDOTE

From Rock Bottom To Daily Practice

  • Nate describes hitting rock bottom: suicidal, drinking every morning, maxed-out credit cards and hiding bills under piles.
  • A Daoist teacher introduced meditation which slowly replaced the morning alcohol and led him to dedicate his life to the practice.
ADVICE

Anchor New Habits Between Existing Routines

  • Slot a new positive habit between existing routines so it easily anchors into your day.
  • Use the prior bad habit as a reward until the good habit grows strong enough to replace it.
ANECDOTE

  • Nate describes spending $900 on an ad campaign while sign-spinning and losing every penny, which crushed him emotionally.
