The Right Now Reframe
“You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.” - Jim Carrey
Life is risky.
Investing is risky, but the cost of not investing could be much worse.
Changing jobs is risky, but not changing jobs could be much worse.
If you think the cost of trying is too high, just wait until you get the bill for not trying.
Hospice volunteers know this full well.
The #1 thing people regret on their death bed isn’t the mistakes they made.
It’s the things they didn’t try that end up haunting them.
This weeks reframe:
“I live a life set up for experience, not regret”

Tool of the Week: Gum
Chewing gum is proven to increase productivity.
Reaction time, recall, and alertness all improve while chewing gum.
When you’re chewing, your body sends blood to your jaw muscles.
After all, it is like a mini workout for your mouth.
Luckily, this blood also provides oxygen to another nearby part of your body:
Your brain!
From experience, chewing gum while working feels like putting your subconscious in time-out.
It’s like telling it “okay buddy, go play with these blocks in the corner for a while.”
My gum recommendation:
Sugar free mint gum like Extra.
Mint has some subtle effects on focus too so why not put it all together?
Bonus tip:
Only chew gum when you’re ready for serious work.
Teach your brain to build this into a routine of ultimate focus.
