Key quotes and takeaways from the show:
Get to the next meal.
Be a good listener.
You need help!
“Do the best you can. With what you’ve got. Where you are.”
7.5 to 9 hours of sleep is not negotiable. Do the maths and make it happen.
If you’ve ever had a baby, you know how to go to sleep because you taught the baby how to sleep.
Stress is catabolic (breaking-down aspects of metabolism, as opposed to anabolism which is building-up aspects).
Find things that make you laugh. It changes the way you feel.
You control your thoughts.
Damian only trains 2 to 3 hours per week!
Learn!
