Episode notes
Craving Drives Motivation
- Dopamine fuels seeking; the craving itself motivates action more than the reward.
- Attach reward to progress and process, not solely to the finish line.
Morning Light To Set Your Clock
- Get 10 minutes of bright light in your eyes within 30–60 minutes of waking to set your circadian clock.
- Hydrate and avoid bright light after 10 PM to protect sleep and next-day alertness.
Switch To Nasal Breathing
- Train to breathe through your nose during low-intensity activity and sleep to improve oxygenation.
- Nasal breathing helps dilate sinuses and reduces brain fog from poor sleep breathing.
