  1. pull-paradigm, &

  2. combined-arms.

  3. pull-paradigm: don’t do what you hate: you’ll stop returning to it!!

Find exercise you LOVE doing, & then MAKE it have regular-place in your life, see?

  1. combined-arms: combine the same pull-paradigm in your diet, your fitness-practices, your friendships, you HEALING, see, and make there be sooo-many dimensions in your pulling-your-life-into-healing, that you can’t help but be healing/becoming more!

( :

For the depression, get outside-in-daylight for at-least 30-mins every day, if you can ( or use a SAD light, when it’s gloomy ).

I had to live “in a lightbox”, with 500-watts of fluorescent daylight lighting, in my room, to keep me functioning at all, after I ditched the anti-depressants…

but it worked.

Make your waking-up alarms be lights, which are silent, instead of noisemakers:

warm-white, 1st, then a 2nd timer, 5+mins later, with daylight: it alters your melatonin balance ( the researchers who discovered that yes, in fact, light does alter melatonin, in spite of them not having accepted that as true…

shone lights in behind people’s knees, & even without “light receptors” in the skin there, the effect kept being measured.

Light is THE wakeup-input that people SHOULD be using, not noise! )


The details that you put on those 2 principles, are your details, but getting those-2-principles right massively improves your odds of holding-to-it for the entire-season it takes to gain usable-momentum.

Wishing you well,
