[03:38] Thoughts from Paul:
Paul shares a list of recommendations of little things to dry and do daily. The best way to make change in your life is with small, intentional steps towards your goal.
1) Water – at least once per day, drink as much water as you can. Dehydration causes a lot of our fatigue later in the day.
2) Meditation – for a few minutes each day, turn your gaze inward.
3) Posture – stand up, pull your shoulders back, arch your back, look to the sky and hold it for 30 seconds.
4) Fuel – make a point to eat one healthy item daily and be conscious about it.
5) Movement – five minutes of light to moderate movement each day.
6) Nothing – literally, do nothing. Start slow with as little as one minute.
7) Play – try new hobbies or rediscover old ones.
8) Learn and grow – read a book or watch a YouTube video about something that interests you.
9) Connect with another human being – Ideally one you can be yourself around.
10) Make someone else’s life better - A tremendous amount of happiness will come to you when you help someone else out.
[10:28] Paul introduces Forrest:
Forrest grew up in a household where alcohol was present, but he was never exposed to overindulgence. He also had little interest in trying it and says he didn’t have his first drink until late freshman year of college where it was a beer pong situation. Forrest says his drinking during college looked very normal.
