Don’t underestimate the power of verbal gratitude and appreciation for your loved ones. A genuine thank you, I love you, and I see the work you’re putting in can go a long way in making their day better.

Bickering & arguing with the ones you’re closest to is a complete waste of time. Take a deep breath. Listen with compassion. Speak with love. Encourage & empower your family.

As a poker player, I would express myself primarily through my betting, and almost never through my voice. After quitting three years ago, I would get nervous when speaking in front of a group of 4+ and had trouble clearly articulating myself with confidence. I knew it was something I wanted to improve. Three years later, somebody today told me I’m a natural after taking my upbeat vinyasa class. I smiled and said thanks knowing deep down it’s not true. It’s obvious to me that you can make your weaknesses your strengths if you are willing to work little by little everyday. Small progress compounds massively.

The best days in your life are still ahead of you. Stay patient, grateful, and optimistic. And remember to smile & enjoy each moment. PV.

Really enjoying guiding others through a somatic yin practice. So powerful to take intentional time to slow down, breathe, & disconnect. Always learning, growing, & improving 🫶

It is much easier to cultivate true joy in your life when you know deep down you are living to your fullest potential. Don’t hold back. Make the most of every day you have.

When something outside of yourself triggers you, it means you are triggerable. See this as an opportunity to dive deep into it. Why are you allowing something external to shift your internal state towards anger, frustration, etc? You always have the power to control your reaction to everything. Do your best to remain calm & centered no matter what is happening “out there.” It is from this centered place you are able to make clean & clear decisions that improve the life of yourself and those you interact with.

If you’re an intelligent & logical bitcoiner, you need to be dumb-maxxing more. Spending too much time overthinking and overanalyzing things online isn’t healthy for you. Play recreational sports, try a dance class, do some breathwork, go to a health retreat, do yoga or qi-gong in a park, smile & nod what’s up to everyone you see. Life is genuinely better when you feel more, think less, and begin to tap into a flow state.

Connecting to your breath during times of stress & anxiety will always be one of the most important things you can do. Place your left hand on your heart and your right hand on your belly. Close your eyes & breathe slow, deep, intentional breaths for a few minutes. Allow your exhales to get slightly longer with each breath. Use your breath as the doorway back to your center. Express gratitude for what you have. Make decisions from this calm & centered place. Much love.

If anyone ever asks you to help them heal, you must first ask them if they are willing to give up the things that are making them sick.

Living in a perpetual state of fear and worry is a terrible way to live. Put yourself outside of your comfort zone, try new things, continuously push the boundary of what’s possible for you and your life. Fortune favors the brave.

The fastest way to ignite the spark within others is to ignite the spark within yourself. People won’t listen to your words, they’ll watch what you do. Become the living embodiment of the values you wish to spread in the world. One example: If you want people to be kind, don’t tell them. Just be a kind person. All change first begins with the daily actions you take in your life.

Incorporate some sort of movement every hour in your day, even if it’s small. Movement is medicine.

I want you to think of one habit you currently do in your life that you want to curb completely deep down. Identify it clearly. Write it down. Think of what you want to replace it with. Write it down. Catch yourself in your day when the habit you currently do pops up. With ease, replace it to the new thing. Get at least 1% better each day. Check your progress in 40 days.

Choose to not complain about anything out loud and instead channel everything you feel into your health, purpose, and relationships.

No flower blossoms all year so if you’re having a difficult season in your life, be easy on yourself. Keep doing your best & trust that everything is happening at the right speed for you to make progress.

The @Bitcoin Jungle is one of the most special places in the world I’ve ever been to. From being a poker pro living in California feeling stuck in a mental prison lacking true purpose and real community, but always having a passion for bitcoin and knew there was something more meaningful in the world out there somewhere, coming here for the first time three years ago changed my life forever. Now three years later, my life is much different than spending time in a casino everyday, and I’m so excited to offer my first group retreat in January 2027. I’m going to pour everything I have into this week being an incredible experience for everyone who comes. The intention is for you to connect deeper to community, nature, health, and purpose. We will also experience bitcoin in person here at the local markets and have discussions around nostr & freedom tech. Walk away feeling completely rejuvenated, restored, with new friends, and ready to make 2027 your best year yet. If you want to be apart of this experience, check out the website and book a call with me to apply. Spots are very limited. Pura Vida. junglealchemyretreats.com

I have a challenge for you: Stop complaining & stop gossiping. Don’t let anything negative come out of your mouth regarding anything external. See what happens.

It’s pretty wild that I’m sitting here in Costa Rica looking at an iguana while typing this message and people in at least 5 continents around the world will read this. And it’s impossible for the message to be taken down. Sometimes it’s nice to zoom out and marvel at the amazing technological advancements we’ve made as a species. Pura Vida.

One of the biggest realizations in my life is nothing outside of you can bring you peace & lasting joy. It literally has to come from within yourself. If you seek external things like trophies, money, or romantic relationships to bring you joy, you are placing an impossible demand on them that will never satisfy you. Choose relationships & activities from a place of already being joyous in your life, not for you to all of the sudden become joyous because of it.
