  • What Do You Do In Your Zone 1 Block?
    May 6 2024

    - **Understanding Zone 1**: Zone 1 is characterized as being active but not necessarily exercising. This concept is crucial because most of our daily lives are spent in a passive state where we consume continuously—watching Netflix, scrolling through phone content, driving while absorbing advertising, and consuming sugary foods. Gradually, these activities start to consume us instead.

    - **The Problem of Modern Life**: Despite working shorter days, many people feel they have less time. The issue is not time itself, but rather the lack of attention. Life tends to happen passively to us. To initiate change, we must actively engage in the process rather than waiting for external changes or for others to act.

    - **Taking Action in Zone 1**: To take control and initiate change, it is important to become proactive in Zone 1. This means engaging in activities that enhance your life, such as:

    - Walking

    - Working on projects that increase time or wealth

    - Meditating (could be moving meditation, written, or prayer)

    - Stretching

    - Preparing meals for the day

    - Reading actively (as opposed to passive listening)


    - **Morning Routine for Empowerment**: Implementing a morning routine where you prioritize self-improvement activities can significantly impact your day. By focusing on personal development before engaging with the external world, you set a tone of growth and resistance against stagnation. A recommended resource for enhancing morning routines is "Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod.


    - **Simple Life Hack – Owning a Dog**: Getting a dog can naturally structure your morning to be more productive. Dogs require early morning walks, providing an opportunity to meditate and reflect. After the walk, you can use the remainder of the time to focus on personal growth, business development, enhancing fitness, or improving relationships.
