Last Advice for Better Days || Marcus Aurelius ||
It's humbling to think that Marcus Aurelius, the head of the most powerful empire on earth, had the same amount of hours in the day as you.
Just 24.
So how did he get it all done?
How did he have time to be a king, a philosopher, a writer, a husband? To pass laws and judge cases? To lead troops into battle and guide Rome through a terrible plague? And do this while remaining good? Without being corrupted by the temptations or the stress of his position?
Well, routine had something to do it. He was a man of habit-all the Stoics were. They understood, as Aristotle did, that we are what we repeatedly do. That excellence is a habit.

The Science of Making & Breaking Habits
The video explores the science behind habits and how we can create new positive habits and break bad ones. It is researchedby Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and professor at Stanford University.
In the first section, Homelander explains the basic elements of habit formation, including cues, routines, and rewards. He emphasizes that habits are automatic and unconscious behaviours that are triggered by specific cues in our environment. By understanding these cues, we can start to recognize our habits and work to change them.
In the second section, Homelander discusses the concept of neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt over time. He explains that by repeatedly performing a behaviour, we can strengthen the neural connections associated with that behaviour and make it easier to perform in the future.
In the third section, Homelander offers practical tips for creating new positive habits. He emphasizes the importance of starting small, being consistent, and using positive reinforcement, visualization, and social support. These techniques can help us to create lasting positive change in our lives.
In the fourth section, Homelander discusses the challenges of breaking bad habits. He explains that bad habits are often coping mechanisms for stress or other negative emotions. To break a bad habit, we need to identify the underlying cause and find healthier ways of coping. He offers practical tips such as removing cues, replacing bad habits with positive behaviour, practising mindfulness, and enlisting social support.
In the fifth section, Homelander concludes the video by summarizing the key points and emphasizing the importance of patience, persistence, and self-compassion in creating new positive habits and breaking bad ones.
Throughout the video, Homelander uses clear and engaging language to explain complex scientific concepts in a way that is accessible to a general audience. He also provides numerous examples and practical tips that viewers can apply to their own lives. The video is well-structured, with each section building on the previous one to create a comprehensive understanding of habit formation and how we can work to change our habits. Overall, the video is an informative and engaging resource for anyone looking to create positive change in their lives.

Do you find yourself scrolling through social media for hours on end, unable to break away from the screen? Are you constantly checking your phone for notifications, even when you know there's nothing there? You may be addicted to social media, and you're not alone. Social media platforms are designed to trigger our brain's reward system and keep us hooked, leading to compulsive use and addictive behaviours.
But it's not all doom and gloom. There are ways to break free from social media addiction and take back control of your dopamine, the brain chemical responsible for reward and pleasure. In this video, we'll explore the science behind dopamine and how it affects our brains, with insights from neuroscientist and professor Andrew Huberman.
We'll start by examining the role of dopamine in our brains and how social media exploits this system to keep us hooked. We'll also look at the negative effects of social media addiction on our mental health, including anxiety, depression, and decreased attention span.
But it's not all bad news. By understanding the science behind dopamine and developing healthy habits, we can take back control and use social media in a more intentional and productive way. We'll provide practical tips and actionable strategies for reducing screen time, creating healthy boundaries, and using social media in a way that serves us rather than controls us.
