    Habit Force: Episode #102, Solocast Matt Simpson

    Habit Force: Episode #102, Solocast Matt Simpson

    First we create our habits, then our habits create us. In this solocast, I break down what a typical day looks like for me and present many habits, practices, rituals that have helped to supercharge my health, energy levels, and productivity. Somethings that I didn’t mention or share: Love those long walks in nature for creativity. I listen to inspired podcasts and audiobooks at night to keep up with the latest cutting-edge health directives. The supreme importance to get out and get sunshine in the first 30-60 minutes upon waking and turning on as much bright light as possible before sunrises. Getting consistent morning sunlight sets our circadian rhythm and is imperative for optimal sleep.
