Today’s Dadly Daily Declaration comes from Chapter 6 (titled The Power Plants) of Aubrey Marcus’ book, Own The Day, Own Your Life. This chapter focuses on the power of plants and how, when used properly, plants can provide mental energy and clarity and unlock greater work capacity as well.
Marcus states, “We have coevolved with plants, our bodies adapting to receive their benefits over time, as a tree bends toward the light. Plants can be an incredible ally in this way, and if you are going to truly own your day, truly give yourself a chance to do amazing things, then your work starts here with the help of three powerful plants that can supercharge your efforts, take you to the next level, and help you no only achieve your full potential, but exceed.”
Those three powerful plants and their plant medicines include:
- Caffeine: Coffee, Tea Yerba Mate, and Guarana
- Tobacco
- Plant Nootropics and Huperzia Serrata
Marcus posits that caffeine, tobacco and plant nootropics offer something to supercharge your efforts that you can look forward to throughout the day. These plants are not just for hard tasks or a crutch to get you over the hump, they are also the allies for the love of life.
Today’s Dadly Daily Declaration follows:
Your relationship with plants should be healthy. Your goal is to be better – at your work, at your relationship, at being alive. Know the plants, know yourself, be honest, and decide the terms of your relationship with them. If it can be healthy, it will enhance more than just your performance, and you’ll have an advantage in everything you do for as long as you live.
