The world's view of normalcy is often dysfunctional, and a life lived differently requires intentional and purposeful systems. Creating habits involves four stages: plan, routine, rhythm, and instinct. Heart rate variability is a key measure of how the body adapts to stress and strain, and awareness of it can guide health decisions. Chronic stress leads to chronic deficiencies and symptoms, which can ultimately result in chronic illness. Take control of what you can control and make changes within your own system. Realize the need to operate differently and create your own system for health and success. Being different and standing out can inspire others and lead to personal fulfillment. Seek help and guidance from coaches and mentors who can provide support and guidance. Be intentional and make choices that align with your unique needs and goals.
