Anxiety-Busting Morning Ritual

This routine focuses on implementing Mark Manson's second rule for life: accepting that there are no bad emotions, only bad reactions to emotions. By practicing emotional acceptance, you'll develop better emotional intelligence and learn to respond to your feelings in healthier ways.

• Improved emotional regulation
• Reduced emotional distress
• Enhanced self-awareness
• Better interpersonal relationships
• Increased resilience to life's challenges

These 3 Rules for Life are simple, straightforward but nearly impossible to adhere to.

One of the best lessons I've taken from @JordanBPeterson over the years is that we can create rules for life for ourselves. I think this is incredibly profound. The idea that we can set our own principles to navigate the world promotes self-control and discipline.

1. You are responsible for everything in your own experience. Even if it's not your fault.
2. There is no such thing as a bad emotion. There are only bad reactions to emotions.
3. Every action and decision you make should be motivated to improve lives.
