For this week, we continue our Dadly Daily Declaration series with insights drawn from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life.
Our declarations around the The 10 Tactics of Lifelong Genius contained with this tome center on the Sixth tactic: The 2 Massage Protocol (2MP). According to Sharma, to generate significant improvements in brain performance, mood, fighting stress and general wellness, massage therapy is a modality one should use.
To implement this tactic, Sharma recommends:
- Have a deep-tissue massage versus simple relaxation bodywork. It needs to hurt a little for it to work well. This awesome practice also reduces the stress that causes telomeres to degrade, optimizing your good health and maximizing your lifespan.
- Lock two ninety-minute massages onto your weekly schedule.
- You might say you’re a busy performer and can’t afford the time to get two long massages every single week. In fact, given the proven and marvelous benefits of this protocol for your mental state, cognition, joyfulness, health and longevity, the truth is you can’t afford not to install this habit.
- Two ninety-minute massages a week will cost a lot of money. Death will cost you more.
That fourth tactic leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
The things that get scheduled are the things that get done. Vague plans yield vague performance. The smallest of applications really is better than the grandest of intentions. Virtuosos bring traction to their vision through their dedication to implementation.
