The Fulfillment Formula
The Internal Doorman
Be careful and selective what you let into your life
Understand the choices that you make and which ideas, people, systems, habits or thoughts you let in. Know that it is a lot harder to get things out once they are part of your life than to not let them in in the first place. Always have your longterm happiness and health in mind – not your immediate gratification or comfort.
Live openly and with a full heart, but keep your mind’s bouncer strong.

Distraction and Acceptance
Distraction is not something objective. It is not something outside of you, but something inside of you.
Osho
Distraction is subjective and therefore directly linked to acceptance; If you cannot accept (a sound/thing/thought etc.) you will be distracted. But if you don’t fight and instead make peace with what is the “distraction” will disappear.
It is the rejection in you that creates the distraction. Accept, and nothing will be able to distract you.
As a first step, try these tips to reduce sone if our most common, everyday distractions.
7 Tips For Better And Deeper Sleep
1. bed-time schedule
Set a bed-time schedule and try to stick to it every day (it’s crucial to wake up around the same time every day).
2. Exercise
Get 20-30 minutes of vigorous exercise, ideally early in the day. Avoid working out in the hours before bedtime as it will get your heart rate up.
3. Avoid Caffeine
Don’t drink caffeinated beverages after 2 PM such as coffee or black and green teas. 5 hours later your body still holds 50% of the caffeine you ingested.
4. Reduce Alcohol
Avoid drinking alcohol right before going to bed (it might make you drowsy, but also gives you lighter sleep).
5. Have a bed-time routine
Bed-time routines of 30 minutes to 2 hours before going to sleep prepare your mind and body and can be very helpful for good rest (unwind from the day by taking a bath, journaling, or reading).
6. The right Bedrom set-up
Consider feng-shui and other basic changes to your bedroom setup, such as turning off all electronics and keeping it cool and dark (full post here).
7. Don’t toss and turn
If you can’t sleep, get up and engage in a relaxing activity until you become tired (e.g. folding your T-Shirts, reading or drawing).
