It’s hard to beat that feeling of being completely immersed in the present moment. Not worried about the past or the future, and simply just being here in the now with whatever you are doing. Activities like meditation, yoga, surfing, or bjj pull you fully into the moment. Distraction disappears because the task demands your full attention. That’s when the mind finally quiets down.

There’s something special about the jungle where I’ve noticed I feel lighter, clearer, and more connected.

Hiked to a new waterfall yesterday. Feeling grateful for nature and the complete gift that it is to us.

Stop looking for approval in others and begin approving yourself. The more your peace depends on validation, the more power you give away. Approve of yourself by living in a way you genuinely respect.

Continue to return to your breath over and over again during times of stress and anxiety. Place your attention below your nostrils and simply feel your breath coming in and out of your nose without effort or force. Observe your exhales getting slightly longer with each breath as you return to calmness, clarity, and peace. Your breath is the doorway back to your center.

Digging the new @primal 3.0. Good work to the team. Excited to see this app grow & develop over time.

Just finished an epic men’s health retreat with 20 guys. I’m always amazed how rejuvenated I feel after going to a retreat with a great group of people. Seems clear that sometimes the breakthrough you need isn’t more effort. It’s putting yourself in the right environment.

When I look back on my life, the chaotic and stressful times all came when I wasn’t consistently doing yoga, meditation, or walking outside. Instead I doomscrolled and sat in my misery inside. So if you feel a little stuck, don’t underestimate what a little movement, stillness, and sunlight can do for your overall well-being.

Exploring new waterfalls are always a treat.

Protect your peace. Not because life should always feel easy, but because peace is often the clearest sign that something is aligned.

The easy thing to do is point out flaws in others. The challenging thing to do is to look yourself in the mirror and be honest about your own habits, actions, and behavior.

Sometimes the only way out is straight through. Through the grief. Through the pain. Through the uncertainty. The longer you try to avoid it, the longer it lingers. Waiting on the other side is peace. Go through.

Spending time with brothers and sisters who are in a daily process of bettering themselves is so healing for the nervous system and the soul.

Say it with me: “I forgive myself, and everyone, for everything.”

Alignment is a big theme for me recently. Do you feel aligned in your purpose, environment, community, and integrity in the way you show up for others? If not, take some time to reflect and journal about any misalignments that may be going on in your life. Alignment begins the moment you stop ignoring what you know is true.

Almost everything I post about on my page are things I once struggled with. I believe you can move past any block or misalignment in your life with the right direction and intention. Cheers to becoming the best version of ourselves.

I’m looking into doing a 10-day silent Vipassana retreat in California this July. No technology. No talking. Just 10 days observing the mind. It’s one of the most powerful and safest ways I’ve heard of to reset, gain clarity, and see yourself honestly. If anyone feels called to join, send me a private message. Cheers.

Continue growing, improving, and learning when getting into a relationship. Complacency is where attraction dies.

Let go of what no longer aligns for you. Every time you do, you create new space for something beautiful to come into your life.

Anyone else notice their breath getting shorter when they’re on a screen? Reset yourself with 3 slow & deep breaths, emphasizing long exhales. Try to keep this pace if possible. Cheers.
