[Wellness Wisdom vol.45: 30 pieces of unsolicited advice](https://wellnesswisdom.substack.com/p/-wellness-wisdom-vol45-30-pieces)

> "The point is to live a life where everyday is an expression of my authentic self."

> "Surrounding yourself with people and ideas that project a higher ceiling of self-belief than your current threshold, raises it through osmosis. You see that these people are self-doubting and flawed just like you, yet believe in themselves. You can too."

> "An old friend of mine, a journalist, once said that paradise on earth was to work all day alone in anticipation of an evening in interesting company." - Ian McEwan

> "If I’m down or in a rut, I force myself to move my body, even if only a little bit."

[Casualties of Your Own Success](https://www.collaborativefund.com/blog/casualties-of-your-own-success/)

> "The most dominant creatures tend to be huge, but the most enduring tend to be smaller. T-Rex < cockroach < bacteria."

[How I plan](https://stitcher.io/blog/how-i-plan)

> "Whenever I try to shove my creative energy into a some kind of system, I find that it utterly fails."

> "Sure, we still plan short-term things, but there's definitely not a long-term plan we hold on to. There are dreams and hopes, but we don't expect all of them to become a reality."

> "I'll see where this whole online adventure takes me step by step, and I'm ok with that. I actually find it very liberating."

[The Time Trap of Productivity](https://moretothat.com/the-time-trap-of-productivity/)

> "But in a culture so focused on managing time, we have become subservient to it. By scheduling your day down to the last minute, you introduce an anxiety from managing your real-time progress to an imagined vision."
