This is something I think is super important for everybody. We can set a lot of goals and do a lot of things, but unless we establish structure and guidelines in our life—systems, not just dreams—we don’t truly progress.
You have a choice right now. You can hit this new year the same way you’ve always done—set some goals, rebel against goal setting, follow some other modality—or you can reflect honestly: Are you truly satisfied with the quality of your life, or do you want change? If you’re feeling the pain of being stuck, grab a notebook and a coffee. Let’s empower ourselves to live more deliciously.
In my cult guru outfit, the ambiance perfect, I asked myself: what disciplines keep my life in flow? When I stray, my magic weakens, results decline. When I return to these, everything ignites—self-esteem, spiritual clarity, social confidence.
“What you tolerate becomes your standard—raise your worth by raising your standards.”
“Your imagination is the temple of your becoming—enter it daily, shape it deliberately.”
Dopamine should reinforce success, not fuel escapism.
Your goals must energize your soul, not burden your mind.
Consistent journaling rewires the subconscious and clarifies purpose.
Breathwork alters your emotional and neurological baseline.
Physical movement is spiritual hygiene.
Gratitude reprograms perception and aligns you with archetypal forces.
Willpower is a cultivated muscle built through micro-discomfort.
Imagination is a sacred skill that expands your magical efficacy.
Self-comparison over time leads to exponential growth.
Inspiration without scheduling dies quickly—structure your genius.
Breaking your own word dissolves inner trust and power.
Emotional reciprocity is a mirror—invest where growth occurs.
Emotional leadership begins by going first and creating the space.
Deep emotional experiences are necessary for fulfilling spiritual work.
Every moment contains infinite options—quantum thinking empowers freedom.
Neurology wires in response to imagined possibilities—fuel it with success.
Action precedes motivation; don’t wait to feel ready.
Focus and finish—deep work is magical work.
Language is invocation—your words are magical commands.
Settling for less trains your unconscious to expect less.
“Gratitude is not passive; it’s an invocation that reprograms the cosmos around you.”
“Discipline your dopamine or be ruled by distraction—the choice is neurological sovereignty.”
Rule 1: Use dopamine as a reward, not a distraction.
Social media floods your nervous system with unearned dopamine. If you train your brain to get pleasure without effort, you destroy focus, will, and creativity. Only reward yourself with pleasure after effort. Dopamine must reinforce productive habits, not serve as escape.
Rule 2: Set intoxicating goals.
If your goals don’t light you up, they’re not really goals—they’re “shoulds.” Your true goals make you wake up thrilled to chase them. If they don’t, either they’re not aligned with who you are, or you don’t believe you can achieve them. Fix both.
Rule 3: Journal work.
Those who journal around their dreams, goals, and insights activate their unconscious far more effectively. Write your internal plans systematically—not in your head. Let your dreams, active imagination, and unconscious wisdom have a place on the page.
Rule 4: Breathwork.
Whether through pranayama, Wim Hof, or conscious breathing, the way you breathe shapes your state. Your body often breathes reactively. Breathe consciously and deeply. Oxygen is life-force and a direct line to shifting your neurochemistry and emotional state.
Rule 5: Move daily.
Movement is life. Sedentary living robs you of vitality and mental clarity. Whether through yoga, cardio, weights, or walking—move every day. The body is the instrument of the will. Neglect it, and the psyche will falter too.
Rule 6: Practice gratitude to the gods.
Gratitude activates awareness of abundance and aligns you with higher archetypes. Whether you name them planets, gods, or energies, express thanks for their influence. Worship, when free from supplication, is empowerment. Practice it daily.
Rule 7: Develop the will.
Will is forged in discomfort. Cold showers. Fasting. Early rising. All these cultivate the sacred power of self-command. When you master will, you transcend excuses and become the magician who speaks reality into being.
Rule 8: Develop imagination.
Imagination is a magical muscle. You wouldn’t skip the gym and expect a fit body; likewise, don’t neglect your visualization skills and expect psychic mastery. Build inner worlds, engage archetypes, journey inward, and write it down.
Rule 9: Compete only with yourself.
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday. This fosters real growth and avoids the toxic spiral of comparing yourself to others. Internal competition creates authentic, exponential evolution.
Rule 10: Schedule inspired action.
When inspiration arises—capture it, plan it, execute it. Don’t let moments of clarity die in the graveyard of forgetfulness. Respect your inner CEO and act.
Rule 11: Always keep your word to yourself.
Your unconscious listens. If your word isn’t law to you, you won’t believe in your own goals. Discipline your self-talk and follow through with what you say to yourself.
Rule 12: Invest only in those who invest in you.
Time is sacred. People who don’t reply, show up, or reciprocate are showing you where you matter. Learn to let go without drama. Focus energy where it grows.
Rule 13: Go first.
Be the change. If people are treating you poorly, you might’ve trained them to do so. Lead with the energy you want to receive. Create the emotional space you wish others would offer you.
Rule 14: Expand your emotional range.
Most people live in a narrow band of emotion. You must train yourself to feel more—to access love, joy, reverence, bliss, and devotion. This isn’t indulgent. It’s how you unlock spiritual states and a fulfilling life.
Rule 15: Return to the infinite potential of now.
The quantum field is infinite. Every moment contains limitless possibilities. If you’re stuck, it’s because you’re caught in survival mode. Step into expansion. Reclaim your options.
Rule 16: Have more reasons you can than reasons you can’t.
Your unconscious is a builder—it constructs belief structures from your dominant thoughts. If you imagine failure more than success, you wire your nervous system for defeat. Flip that.
Rule 17: You don’t need to feel like it.
Feelings follow actions. Waiting to feel ready is self-sabotage. Move anyway. Act into alignment. Eventually, your body and emotions catch up.
Rule 18: One thing at a time.
Focus. Don’t multitask your spiritual path. Deep work is sacred. Begin, finish, and then move on. Concentration is a portal to power.
Rule 19: Use words to condition your unconscious.
Language is programming. Words build archetypes and alter perception. Speak your reality into form. Pray aloud. Affirm with force. Command like a god training a god.
Rule 20: Don’t settle.
What you tolerate becomes your standard. Stop accepting second-class experiences. Demand more—from yourself, from your rituals, your relationships, your diet, your life.
Bonus: The last 3 rules are inside the membership.
