| Prioritize peace. Avoid stress and anything which stresses you out. Prioritize sleep. Allow as much sleep as your body demands today, today. Intermittent fasting, cold showers, reasonable exercise. Take good care of all your constituents, including your microbiome. Practice intentional gratitude and positive thinking. Remember mental and emotional health as well. Invest time and effort into personal relationships and experiences which bring you joy. Think for yourself and err on the side of caution. Imagine, for a moment, living in the 1950s and 1960s. You may have heard that cigarettes are unsafe, but then there are other opinions who say that's nonsense. Do you smoke cigarettes because it's the thing to do? There are all sorts of newfangled food technologies that your ancestors have never experienced. Are they as safe as their creators say they are? Do you drive a car, even though it makes you go faster than your ancestors have ever gone, and one split-second lapse in attention can ruin you for the rest of your life? Now, transpose this mental exercise onto today's world. Is there something you may be testing in production, so to speak, that you may later regret? |
