I spent some time this year thinking about the sort of person that I want to be. From this I have crafted a set of principles that I regularly reflect on and try to live by:

  • Focus on the outcome but ensure you can enjoy or endure the journey.

  • Create a plan and stick to it - adjust only as the situation changes.

  • Recognise cravings and desires as just impressions that should be noticed, named and then allowed to pass.

  • Don’t let yourself be controlled by the algorithm - it does not have your best interests at heart.

  • Train your body as though your life depends on it - it does – but don’t forget to incorporate recovery and relaxation.

  • Spend more time thinking deeply and systemically – reflect and share your thoughts with others.

  • Be curious and learn - but be prepared to change what you believe to be true.

  • Nurture and grow your relationships - be generous and patient with people.

  • Be a good ancestor – ensure your descendants have a future world worth inheriting.
