Critical longevity reminders, the power of resilience, and time management for a regret-free life
Happy Thursday! Here are 3 things I want to share with you in the realm of longevity this week. Let’s dive in. (You won’t want to miss the 2-minute clip from Navy SEAL Jocko Willink at the bottom of today’s newsletter.) 🫀 Live LongerA boring (but critical) reminder to focus on the cornerstones of a longevity minded lifestyle.The boring stuff (that actually drives results) doesn’t get much attention in the health and fitness industry. For some reason, people would rather listen to a juiced-up meat head rant about eating raw liver or how putting butter in your coffee will magically melt fat and boost your brain power. My advice? Ignore flashy influencers trying to sell you their products. Instead, focus on the routines that ACTUALLY drive results… Exercise
Nutrition
Sleep
Learn how to drop old and build new habits:
💪 Feel HealthierThe most powerful trait you can develop: Resilience.Resilience breeds an abundance of positive traits, including these 3 things:
So, how do you build that endurance? Here are 3 ways to build resilience:

🧠 Cultivate PurposeThe Best Piece Of Advice I Was Given About Time Management For A Regret-Free LifeWhen I was 11, my Dad gave me an unforgettable piece of advice. I was just a kid transitioning into a phase where I was paying more attention to the adults around me and thinking about what it was like to grow up. Like all kids, I was blind to the realities of life and in the early beginnings of building effective mental models to navigate the world around me. One night, my Dad said something to me that built the foundation of who I am today: "You don't have time for the things that matter, you make it."That day, my whole life changed. Since I heard those words, I've been applying them to my own life and preaching them to others making paltry excuses. If something is important to me, I do it. There is no "I wish I did" or "I didn't have time for"―these are not part of my vocabulary. Instead, I ruthlessly decide my priorities and label the things I choose not to do as unimportant. If it's important to me, I make time for it. Simple as that. A question for you:
That’s all! Until next week, Jack Dixon P.S. If you’re a “Type A” that wants to live longer, feel healthier, and cultivate purpose in your life, follow along on Twitter @jackrossdixon for daily threads. P.P.S After hearing it for the first time on The Tim Ferriss Show #616, I’ve probably listened to this short 2-minute clip from Jocko Podcast 10 times over the last week. I highly recommend you give it a listen too. If you liked this post from Longevity Minded, why not share it? DISCLAIMER: I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on the Internet.
