#473 Tech Expert: Why Life Speeds Up As You Age (And How To Slow It Down!)

"Sleep is for the weak and wicked! I'll sleep when I'm dead." Well...with that kind of a mentality you're guaranteed to make it happen sooner than you think Of course, building business, being an entrepreneur and hustling hard requires you to put in the effort and more often than not you have to sacrifice some sleep time However, it's a huge misconception about sleep and being successful.Sleep is one of the most important things for your health. In fact, it's more critical than nutrition or exercise. You can get away with eating junk and not working out, but if you can't neglect sleep for too long This is the topic of today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast.

It's the perfect opportunity to take advantage of a brief downtime to recollect yourself and reflect back on the year. This is the time of the year when most people take a step back from work and they focus more on compression.  In this Body Mind Empowerment podcast, I'm playing you the recording of my Facebook live stream, in which I talk about how to stay empowered during the holidays. Topics discussed: How to still get some work done during Christmas How to still stay consistent with your routines How to still make progress on your goals How to still eat healthy and exercise How to still have a great time with your family How to still rest and recover for the coming year And much more...

Life is a process of stress adaptation. Living organisms adapt to the conditions of their environment and those of natural selection. Being able to adapt to stress has been one of the main driving forces of our success as a species.We can eat a wide variety of foods, we can live in many different landscapes and we can become more resilient to these harsh conditions Unfortunately, the modern world doesn't condition us the same way it used to, as there's a massive evolutionary time lag between our primal bodies and the abundance we're living in "The stress that can kill you can also heal you", said Ori Hofmekler the author of The Warrior Diet and many other booksOri Hofmekler intermittent fasting was one of the first IF practices in the modern health industry I'm super excited to have Ori on the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast with Siim Land We're going to talk about What made Ori write The Warrior Diet The 7 Principles of Stress How the fitness industry is slowly killing people The most powerful hormonal switches of your body What are the biological mechanisms of stress adaptation How to take advantage of stress rather than falling victim to stress What are stress activated foods And much more To support this podcast, then I'd appreciate if you could leave us a review on iTunes and follow me on social media.

Decisions, Decisions...So many decisions to make, so little time to make them... Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment podcast. I’m your host Siim Land. Today I want to talk about making quality decisions because the quality of your decisions determine the results you’re going to get and how successful you’re going to be. The most important thing I want you to remember right now and I’m going to repeat it later again is this - *sigh* The quality of your decisions depends upon your level of awareness. I started thinking about what determines your present state of consciousness and perspective and I came to the conclusion that it’s a 5 stage cycle that repeats itself and every step is connected to each other. That's what we'll be talking in this episode What determines quality decision making? How to raise your awareness to make quality decisions most of the time? What's the 5 stage decision-making cycle? How to create quality systems for quality decision-making? How to make good decisions on autopilot? And much more...

How are you dealing with the challenges and impediments of your life? Do you crumble after reaching the wall or will you climb over it, making your failures but mere stepping stones for your successes?   That’s the theme of Ryan Holiday’s book The Obstacle is the Way The Timeless Art of Turning Trials Into Triumph. The main idea of the book [Ryan Holiday's] is that obstacles don’t stop success but actually create it. That doesn’t go to say that failures and impediments won’t cut you down – they will if you give into them. It all depends on how you perceive your situation and how you CHOOSE to respond to it.   To support this podcast, then I'd appreciate if you could leave us a review on iTunes and follow me on social media.
