The Ultimate Guide: How To "Fix" A Broken Brain

I run this whenever I lose my mind

The modern world will break your brain.

And turn you into a shadow of a shadow of yourself if you let it.

Don’t let it.

Simply ignore the world and build your brain instead.

Here’s how (in order):

1) Physical

• See the sunrise.

• See the sunset.

• Sleep 8-9 hours a night.

• Block out blue light after dark.

• Eat 1 gram of protein per body weight.

• Ground in nature.

• Consume more fish, lamb, eggs, meat, vegetables, fruit.

• Cut out alcohol, caffeine, and sugar.

• Move for 45-60 minutes/daily.

• Have quality sex.

2) Emotional

• Cut out all complaining/complainers.

• Make a list of all the people you spend your time interacting with. Put a + beside their name if they give you energy or a - if they subtract energy from you. Increase time with the former and decrease time with the latter.

• Make a list of all the things you spend your time doing. Put a + beside the item if it gives you energy or a - if it subtracts energy from you. Double down on the former and decrease the latter.

• Call a loved one daily.

• Practice nightly forgiveness.

• Become familiar with the Ideal Parent Protocol/Bioenergetics/Presence Process.

• Watch stand up comedy.

3) Mental

• Go on a daily aimless walk.

• Start reading 3 books at a time: Fiction, non-fiction, biography.

• Write 10 ideas a day.

• Think for, not against.

• Free yourself from the superego.

• Cut out toxic music/media/cheap dopamine.

• Create ‘buffer’ time on your calendar in between meetings and tasks (aim to keep your calendar as white as possible).

• Build a Mindset Folder. Review it daily.

• Add novelty to your days to spark the brain. Take a new route. Eat a new food. Listen to a new piece of music.

4) Financial

• Cut out low performing projects.

• Block distractions via Cold Turkey Blocker.

• Set one priority goal.

• Pull 1-3 high ROI levers in 4-6 hours/daily to fulfill priority goal.

• Jot down all the open loops that are currently sucking up your RAM and dedicate a day or two to knocking them out/weekly or 30-60 mins daily.

5) Spiritual

• Develop concentration: Close your eyes and focus on your belly.

• Develop curiosity: Watch your thoughts, emotions, actions without judgment and with friendly interest.

• Develop courage: Confront the truths you don’t want to see.

• Develop compassion: Be gentle as the pain from the truth(s) arise.

• Develop consistency: Keep going despite the difficulty & allow the truth to transform you.

Seems like a lot, right?

It is. But don’t do all the above at once (you cannot).

Pick and choose.

If you lack energy, start with the physical protocol (1-2 items).

If you wake up feeling like shit, start with the emotional protocol (1-2 items).

If you struggle to come up with good ideas, start with the mental protocol (1-2 items).

If you want to see a bigger number in your bank account, start with the financial protocol (1-2 items).

If you want to quench the deepest longing of the heart, start with the spiritual protocol (1-2 items).

Doesn’t matter.

We all start somewhere.

Important thing is to:

Start.

Or else your life may never actually begin.
