Why do I feel so tired?
There are virtually infinite reasons why you could be feeling tired:
How you slept; what you ate (or didn’t eat) today; what you ate (or didn’t eat) a month ago; the state of your adrenals and immune system; what toxins are in your body; dehydration; solar flares from the sun; what time of year it is; what virus you’re battling; how much you exercised; your overall mindset; lots of screen time.
On and on and on.
Luckily, there are a few practices that will address many of these causes at once.

What is the point of life?
Imagine for a moment a two-dimensional straight line representing your time here on Earth (aka your life).
o————————————————————————————————————o
On one end you have the moment of your conception, whenever we decide that that was. And on the other end you have your final breath, whenever that happens to be.
birth o————————————————————————————————————o death
If you were to precisely map where you are in this timeline, you would probably place a little dot somewhere in the middle, right?
birth o————————————————— now o ———————————————————o death
What about now, a few seconds later? You’d put it a tinyyyy bit further along, right?
birth o—————————————————— now o ——————————————————o death
Keep the dot analogy, project it a few years into the future, and place it on your timeline.
Are you seeing it?
If your human life has a beginning and an end to it, the dot you’re envisioning is always going to be a one-dimensional point, regardless of what moment you find yourself in.
In other words, the moment you exist in right now is very literally the point of life.

We are gifted to live in an unfathomably intelligent and alive Universe.
In fact, we exist in a boundless playground with lego blocks that can be assembled in infinite combinations.
Materially speaking, those legos are the atoms we eat, drink and breathe — the atoms we sleep on, drive towards and find joy in — the atoms framing our bones, organs, neurochemistry and DNA.
And these atoms are exactly what our technology is built upon: the calcium our roads are made of; the lithium used to power our batteries; the hydrocarbon backbone of our plastics.
Tl;dr, everything you can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch rely upon the pairing and stacking of atoms in new and unusual arrangements.
Amazingly, despite all the technological progress humanity seems to have made, we still haven’t even scratched the surface of what’s possible.
Transparent metal, targeted cancer treatment using sound, teleportation, full augmented reality, genetic engineering, zero-point energy, drones, faster-than-light communication.
Get ready, friend, because planet Earth has officially entered its golden age of technology. Things are only going to get stranger and more mind-blowing from here.
