The importance of developing and maintaining routines. The benefits are many, and over the next few episodes I will cover my morning routine, the components, and the reasoning for each.

A culture whose values and norms of behavior differ substantially from those of mainstream society, sometimes diametrically opposed to mainstream cultural mores (manner, custom, usage, or habit- societal norms). Create. Embrace. Grow. Counterculture based in health, wellness, prosperity, abundance, freedom, and healing. Whilst rejecting counterculture that would drive us further away from all of these axioms. A society in decline needs it now more than ever.

Hippocrates said, "Before you heal someone, ask them if they are willing to give up the things that made them sick." Absolutely paramount to healing and self-mastery both, we must be willing to let go of what doesn't serve us, abandon what makes us ill, and change in order to progress. What has propelled me forward in terms of health has been just that, eliminating what was making me sick, and/or what was deterring growth.
