1. Mass Action: In my prime, I was out six nights a week, plus several daygame sessions same week. The sheer volume created unstoppable momentum. I understand this isn’t sustainable for most but definitely something most should try even if it’s 2-4 weeks worth.

  2. Letting Go of Validation Seeking: At some point I realised I was chasing numbers just to brag eg counting notches, flags, trying to impress. It got toxic. Real growth started when I stopped doing it for external validation and started doing it for myself. More private. More grounded. Way more effective.

  3. Letting Go of Friends: Some weren’t even “toxic” in the traditional sense. But they anchored me to an old identity I was outgrowing. Cutting ties wasn’t about blame-it was about evolution. For most people, this might be the hardest step. But without it you’ll keep circling the same patterns.
