This is cringe bc it’s health related at the beginning of a new year, but: Your health should allow you to go off routine once in a while bc life demands it but bounce back shortly afterwards. Resilience is the pinnacle of health. This will be different for everyone. Your ancestors probably drank into the night and still went out to erect, till, hunt, farm, sully redcoats, etc. at daybreak. Point is you have such substance within you to develop for you to ride through life. The finer points, I think, are figuring out your weaker points, improving those and managing them in the course of upsets.

I think there are parallels here with software and other things where road construction, maintenance AND planning can be achieved in a centralized manner. If they’re considered infrastructure and what they need to facilitate (commerce, transportation), then a decentralized nature is relevant for the best solution. Very similar, in my opinion, to what caused Lightning to come about. But this decentralized nature was already happening with free men. Weird.

Terrific article! A substantive post that goes hand in hand with ‘you can just do things’.

A little more explanation on the sunrise note for NYE. Long story short- get to the sunrise even after a late night out.

Just a reminder- get your SCN, leptin and TCA cycle utilization up by exposure to solar luminescence even after being up for the New Year! See the sunrise for Jan 1, see more sun each day of 2026. How much? Start with as much as you can. Punctuate your days with changes in sunlight spectrum (UVAs) and make your nights dark. This summer I was up several times during the night (young one) and saw the sunrise and got cold when I could to keep things running well. You can bet I’ll do the same after being up for NYE. 2026- ring in the new year with sats and solar exposure.

When exercising outside, don’t let snow and cold stop you from getting a good session in. Get a hat, gloves, warm shoes and go to town. Use any number of combos from below (I draw from this list frequently) and do for reps, time, whatever works. Example- for 20minutes do 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups, 15 squats. Rest as needed. My favorite after traveling is pull-ups and lunges.

It’s December. You should seek the cold rather than avoid it totally. Start simple with face in cold water and gradually up the full body water exposure. Your body will generate its own light in form of ultraweak photon emissions (UPEs), something needed during winter months. It also makes your mitochondria healthier.

Pre-dawn light, breaks for sun and cold exposure, high fat higher protein breakfast. This is conducive to living in northern latitudes. I know holidays come up and the festivities with them require a deviation on my part which is fine. I learned this summer that sunrise is the numero uno lever to always pull to keep on the circadian, quantum wagon. You’ll be more resilient and still enjoy time with loved ones and make new friends.

I sought health/awesome feel before bitcoin. Once I found Bitcoin health meant something different to me; be healthy to enjoy time on the planet bc Bitcoin would allow me to use that freedom to do so. If you find Bitcoin first, I think you’ll come to health eventually bc you realize the base increment of the system relies on proper functioning of nodes and their inputs-outputs. your sub-cellular components need proper functioning in order to support you. Besides don’t you want to see more people become orange pilled and do the things you want?
