Hey there you guys, what's up? It's Chase. Welcome to another episode of the show. Today's show is a micro show. That's right. No other guests, no fancy conversations, no back and forth, no Socratic method. This is just yours truly in your ears. But my goal is to pass along a very important message over the

next five to 10, maybe 15 max minutes for today's micro show. And it is one of the most important

lessons, habits, if you will, that I have adopted in my life over the course of the past.

I would put it in the five-year realm.

And it's been a game changer for me.

I've often written and talked and shared on this show and others about the importance

of morning routine.

And I often break down the little bits of like my cold plunge and my meditation, mindfulness, all those different

practices. But what I haven't ever really gone into that I think is critical, which is why I'm

putting in this show right now here for you, is specifically how I manage consuming content

versus creating it. So if the first thing you do every day is pick up your phone and cruise all of your favorite

creators and entrepreneurs for inspiration or mind numbing or any number of reasons that some

very rational, some very irrational, if you do that, my guess is that you

end up feeling anxious, that you end up feeling disconnected, unless you're looking exclusively

at puppies and kittens, which I'm guessing you're not. I'm guessing you're consuming the news.

I'm guessing you are perusing your industry, maybe politics, any number of these things,

all of which I would categorize as unhealthy, specifically if you do them first thing in the

morning.

I'm guessing you'll end up feeling anxious, depressed, and certainly that you're not enough

or not far enough along in your career, in your hobby, in your passion, or what you should

be doing.

This feeling is a feeling of being disconnected.
