🌱 10 simple terms (and a terrifying meme)

Simplification. Shadow Meme. Momentum.

Hola friends.


Here are your 3 insights in 3 minutes.


Packaged and delivered straight to your inbox so you can feel a spark of insight and momentum each Sunday.


🔍 Simple Terms


My monkey brain is easily confused.


So I like to break things down into simple terms.


This helps me pattern match (“oh this is just x”).


Here are my favorites:


Self-improvement is finding energy to go further
Self-acceptance is finding peace where you are


Wisdom is not believing everything you think
Emotional intelligence is not internalizing everything you feel


Stress is just pressure you refuse to deal with
Fear is just excitement without the breath


Efficiency is doing things right
Effectiveness is doing the right things


Consistency is making progress over perfection
Gratitude is remembering to enjoy the ride


🪞 Shadow Meme


This meme is equal parts liberating and terrifying.


Liberating, because people can learn and change their actions.


Terrifying, because most people will likely not learn and instead keep scrolling.



💪 Momentum


The best fuel for procrastination is feeling behind.


The antidote? Ruthlessly creating teeeeny tiny momentum.


The self-talk I use more than anything:


“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

— Arthur Ashe
