Today I want to dive into another wacky weird thought tangent I’ve been exploring - color and light and what I call your "visual diet". It’s well documented how colours have an effect on us. It’s why all of the fast food companies use red, it’s why certain stores have pink or light color hues, … Continue reading On Visual Diets

The Art of Embodiment
A practice that I have recently been doubling down on is something that I like to call embodiment. To me, that means living in the body. Maintaining awareness of your physical feelings. Try it right now. Close your eyes and feel yourself. You can scan through your body. Feel your face, your chest, your belly … Continue reading The Art of Embodiment
My life philosophy in four books

It ended up being around 10k words or so, all geared around looking back at the year 2020 and what happened throughout it all. After I wrote this I thought to myself, "fuck, this is way too … Continue reading 2020 Lookback

Into a state where you are laser focused and can get more done in less time.
