Mindsip insights from this episode:

Incorporate five-minute kitchen workouts into your morning routine
Stack a new habit onto an existing one by doing a five-minute strength workout in your pajamas while your coffee brews in the morning.
Implement three M's morning framework for a productive start
Structure your morning routine around the three M's: Mindfulness (e.g., breathwork), Movement (e.g., a 5-min workout), and Mindset (e.g., reading an uplifting book).
Practice 3-4-5 breathing technique to activate relaxation
To activate your relaxation state, use the 'three-four-five breath' where you breathe in for three seconds, hold for four, and breathe out for five.
Address children's declining mile run times to improve fitness
A major study of 25 million children found that, on average, they now take 90 seconds longer to run a mile than children did in the 1980s.
Rewire your brain to overcome laziness and anxiety
According to psychiatrist Dr. Anders Hann, our brains are wired to be lazy, anxious, and fat to survive in a world of scarcity, which is a disadvantage in the modern world.
Introduce discomfort to combat modern health issues
Many modern physical and mental health diseases are caused by an excess of comfort, so you must intentionally introduce discomfort into your life to thrive.
