WALK, WALK, and WALK! At 41, I couldn’t agree more. Not just for fitness but also mental stimulation. Also a great way to encourage conversation when doing it with other people… Along the same line, STRETCH everyday. Buy a mat and have it ready to go. Doesn’t need to be a intense daily yoga session. Just basic stretching. Does wonders! Great list!

Super video. Tiny detail around eating before going to bed: I recently listened to Andrew Huberman’s sleep series, and apparently research has shown that it’s only the last 30-45 minutes before going to sleep that you should avoid eating. Before that, it doesn’t really affect your sleep. Good news for people who might get hungry in the evening. The new one for me was looking at the shoulder of the person who is in your path. Will try it!

Cheat code #45 for my fellow US residents: get disability insurance to help replace some or most of your income if you have to leave work either temporarily or permanently for a number of medical reasons. There are two types of disability plans: short term and long term. The short term policy usually lasts between 3 and 6 months, which is enough time for you to recover from a serious injury or illness (usually you can use it for any leave covered under your 12 week unpaid FMLA protected period, including parental leave) and return to work. 3 to 6 months is also the point your long-term policy would kick in should you still be unable to return to work due to an ongoing or permanent disability. Generally, it takes at least 3 months before you're eligible to use your long term disability insurance policy benefits. If you didn't have your short-term policy and found yourself unable to work, you would need to find a way to cover the gap in your income for that entire time, which under normal circumstances is anywhere between an uncomfortable stretch and an outright financial disaster for most Americans. If you're off work because of a major illness or accident, that's likely to be even more of an issue since your living expenses tend to be even higher when you need medical diagnosis and treatment for a new medical condition. Social Security disability income applications are almost never approved upon first submission, requiring that applicants file appeals providing more and more documentation. It's becoming more and more necessary to have the help of an attorney who specializes in Social Security claims to get an application approved, and even then it can take years. Social Security does back pay from the initial filing/qualification date, but getting a lump sum of backdated benefits two years after your income dried up isn't going to keep you from losing housing, health insurance, car, access to medications and groceries, or paying your kids' childcare billing. And not everyone even qualifies for Social Security benefits in the first place. Short and long-term disability insurance plans tend to be pretty affordable overall, so you're not talking about paying an enormous amount for something you might not ever need to use. But not having it when and if you need it is devastating, and can be the difference between surviving to continue living your life, and maintaining your independence from having to become totally financially dependent on a significant other, family, or friends, whose non-financial support you will also need to rely on. My spouse was always healthy and was far and away the primary earner and source of health insurance benefits in our household for 7 years. At the age of 30, he was identified as having brain damage from an (at the time) unknown illness. Three days before the MRI that showed the damage, we found out that I was pregnant with our first and only child. My spouse's neurologist couldn't even give him a formal diagnosis for another 7 months, weeks before our child was born. If he hadn't had both policies, we would have lost our house and could never have afforded to buy groceries and diapers, let alone feed our dogs. Even without worrying about how the bills were getting paid, the transition to being retired due to disability has been incredibly challenging for my spouse, for whom this career was a massive part of his identity and a source of pride and enjoyment. I doubt he would still be here today, one way or another, if there had been one more major setback to deal with. His 5th anniversary of his diagnosis and our child's 5th birthday will happen in July and August of this year, and it's still a huge struggle to navigate his medical needs on top of the changes to our family dynamic and day to day life, but we are all so incredibly glad that he's still here and that we still are fairly independent from having to lean all of our financial weight on family and friends. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. 🙃

For anyone having problems determining success, a good exercise is to imagine your life in the future where you imagine waking up, eating breakfast, going to work. Now when you imagine this, try to focus on where did you wake up, how's the place you are living. Where are you eating breakfast and with who. How did you commute. Hows the place you work in. Etc. That will give you and idea of the life you want and therefore set what is your definition of success

4:50 wow I started doing this organically. Reading nonfic in the morning gets me motivated and starts my brain in a mode that feels ready to learn throughout the day. Fiction at night is like a reward.

I loved "a few months a year go monk mode" . I always feel bad being too busy for family, but I want to better myself for my future kids.
