Good Idea - Deepstash

Good Idea

Although people think they perform better on caffeine, the truth is, they really don't . Actually, we've become so dependent on caffeine that we use it to simply get back to our status-quo. When we're off it, we under perform and become incapable.

Isn't this absurd?

In his book, The Untethered Soul , Michael Singer argues that your energy should come from within - from your why - not from external stimulants. The scientific backing is substantial and unsurprising: intrinsic motivation destroys extrinsic motivation every day of the week.

Motivation aside - healthy eating, sleeping, and intensive exercise produce higher quantities and quality of energy than caffeine ever could. A holistic approach to life is essential. Garbage in, garbage out.
