Anxiety and Depression tried to break me. Now I’m building an unbreakable mind & body. Follow for tips to conquer fear and become your best self.

Stop negotiating with your burnout. If your body is redlining, rest isn’t a reward. It’s the repair plan.

Self-improvement starts with self-honesty. Not self-criticism.

You've been running on cortisol for weeks. Someone tells you to "move your body." Your body is literally begging you to stop. Rest isn't weakness. It's triage.

Anxiety is your nervous system trying to protect you. It's just sometimes overprotective. You don't need to silence it. You need to retrain it.

The goal isn’t calm. The goal is competence under pressure. Build capacity, and stress stops shrinking you.

You don't need a better life to feel better. You need a better relationship with the life you have.

@Hazel52389 Learning by doing is the best way to learn. Hands down!

You don’t need to know everything. Learning happens while you are doing. Experience teaches faster than theory. Start even if you feel unsure.

@OptiMindInsight I am with you. But the fast majority of people lacks the exercise to justify all the carbs they eat.

A healthy diet can look like a big bowl of pasta… Peter Attia has previously pushed the narrative that a low-carb diet is the healthiest diet. But that lacks nuance… Most high-achieving businessmen I have worked with have been chasing an "out of the ordinary" fitness goal. Marathon, Ironman, Hyrox. Many hours of high-intensity exercise - depleting glycogen stores. We know from science that refilling glycogen stores after intense exercise is key to effective recovery. And with a busy and demanding schedule, optimal recovery is key to avoiding degraded performance. Inside and outside of sport.

@Lilly7862 We often forgot all the battles we have won in our life!

You’ve been stronger than you give yourself credit for. Look at everything you’ve already gotten through. You’re still here, still going, and that says a lot. Keep taking it one step at a time.

@DoctorPerin Out of the frying pan into the fire.

They’re told not to drink on SSRIs

@Thereallauster My longest was 2 Days. I want to do 3 days soon. Here is what I experienced after those 2 days. x.com/JuliusNotes/st…

I'm doing my first ever multi-day fast. No food. No calories. Only water and herbal tea. Today is Day 1. Looking forward to seeing what comes up in the next few days.

@ThresholdExp Hmm... if you got what you wanted and still feel nothing you are probably chasing the wrong thing.

Sometimes you push and push and push. Waiting for the moment it finally feels like enough. Then you arrive… and nothing really changes. That’s the exact moment most people quit. Don’t quit Push harder.

@Thereallauster Being the most attractive always involves being healthy. Being unhealthy never looks good. Period.

The healthiest & hottest people I know are the most “boring”: “Boring” 6 am wake- up “Boring” 10 pm bedtime “Boring” Ayurvedic healing rituals “Boring” spiritual practices “Boring” organic, whole foods “Boring” herbal teas instead of alcohol

@MickDeBoer Have you read the Book "Confidence" by James Smith? That is pretty much the essence: be clear on your values.

@JuliusNotes When you know yourself, live in your truth and conviction, and feel no need to change your opinions to please others, that's true confidence. Being loud is non-essential. It only shows you need attention.

The most confident people aren't the loudest. They're the ones who stopped needing external proof of their own competence.

@Olivia0945 Not just yours...

@JuliusNotes You just described my nervous system without its consent.

Fight-or-flight isn’t a personality. It’s a condition. And if you’re already running hot, “more pressure” isn’t motivation—it’s fuel for the fire.

@misfitwriter_ Exactly!

@JuliusNotes If you're running on fumes, You cannot expect growth.

@defeatcomfort You are definitely not alone with that!

Thanks man. I got fed up reading so much bullshit on here (and I’ll admit I was writing some bullshit as well in the past) that it was just time to actually say what was really happening. At the end of the day it’s how I got to where I am, and I can’t be the only person who’s had these struggles.

The most dangerous lie men tell themselves is “I’m fine.” 👇

@Lilly7862 Understanding of oneself can be incredibly helpful!

@JuliusNotes Understanding your stress response helps you control reactions and improve decisions

@MarkTonerX Yes, a life long daily effort.

@JuliusNotes It's a lifelong journey.

Mental health isn't a destination. It's a maintenance practice. You don't "arrive." You show up daily.

@chris_thebsofe 100% I just saw a video again of people being shocked that Eminem works strictly 9-5 with a normal lunch break in between. They all say he is more focused and effective then they are because of it.

@JuliusNotes So important to recharge, a great rest ethic leads to better work ethic.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is nothing. Your nervous system isn't broken. It's signaling. Listen.
