Eight uncommon daily rituals that will set you apart from 98% of people

Some ancient dude once said, ‘we are what we repeatedly do.’

What if you repeatedly did things that barely anyone else did?

But I don’t mean walking through the streets nude every day.

Here are some uncommon daily rituals that will set you apart in a good way:

Connect with your true self.

Whether you want to call this ‘God’ or ‘Universe’ or ‘Creative Energy,’ or whatever, few of us connect spiritually anymore.

And it’s turning us into miserable and degenerate dicks.

Most of us believe our thoughts are all there is. Not so.

There is so much more that sits beneath our egoic mind. Go there via prayer or meditation daily.

You will have an edge like a god has an edge.

Walk tall like you just fought off six ninja assassins.

I don’t give a rat’s asshole how ‘few achievements’ you believe you’ve had.

We’re all living, walking miracles.

Act like it and your brazen badassery will feed into your subsequent actions.

This will 5X your experience of life.

Check and refine your system.

What’s your system?

We all have one.

In fact, we’ve all created the perfect system for the results we are currently getting. I’m serious.

Set yourself apart by getting clear on your system and working on it daily so you get what you want. What’s a system?

A basic example is brushing your teeth daily.

You’re already doing it bro.

Write experimentally.

Putting words on a paper, whether through type or handwritten provides the ideal environment in which to exercise the mind.

Here we can write utter trash, play with new ideas, share our woes, and note new things learned or achieved.

Amazing things happen when we’re physically loose like this, and you may be surprised what shows up.

Shake your hips and wave your arms like a proud chimp who just escaped a testing facility.

This is funny but I’m also dead serious.

Find a private place if you need to, but regularly shaking out your worries is a whole lot better than intellectually stewing on them.

You’ll feel lighter when you do.

Do some body-weight exercises.

Many of us skip the gym because it’s such an ordeal in our minds.

But what about 30 squats and 30 press-ups each morning?

Though this shouldn’t replace your more intense exercise sessions, adding these into your routine won’t take long, and will wake you up cognitively.

Purposefully learn one new thing.

What are you currently in the process of mastering?

Those who make a significant impact in society know what this is.

Study one aspect for at least 10 minutes.

Take notes.

Reflect on the lesson quietly. What could 10 minutes of daily learning do for you after 6 months?

Read some enlivening fiction.

I read for a good 30 minutes before bed.

This beats sucking on Netflix shows like a pacifier.

Reading engages your imagination at a higher level, and is a relaxing escape that stills and refuels the mind creatively.
