Choose Yourself A book by James Altucher www.jamesaltucher.com
Why is the Daily Practice required?
• Daily Practice is required to achieve the following goals in life
• If you want to be happy
• If you want to eradicate unhappiness in your life
• If you want each day to be as smooth as possible without any hassle
• If you want to go to sleep in the night with a smile on your face, everyday
• If you have hit rock bottom and you want to bounce
What is the Daily Practice?• Keeping the following four bodies healthy on a
daily minute by minute basis
• Physical Body
• Emotional Body
• Mental Body
• Spiritual Body
Physical Body• We all know how important our
physical body is
• Don’t look at your body as some short term goal and go on crash diets
• Care for it on a daily, minute by minute basis
• No junk food, seven to nine hours sleep, EXERCISE
• Avoid excess alcohol
Emotional Body
• Learn to be positive, surround yourself with positive people
• It’s IMPORTANT to avoid people who bring you down, don’t be cruel, avoid engaging or dwelling
• Energy leaks out of you if someone is draining you
Emotional Body
• How do you do this?
• Acknowledge
• Observe
• Find out ways to engage less
• The pain will begin to wither
• Don’t be cruel
Mental BodyYour mind wants to be the BOSS. It makes you keep thinking crappy stuff, it makes you obsess, worry, fear, be depressed, more thinking … and eventually!
!BURNOUT!
Mental Body• You need to tame your mind otherwise it will make you a slave
• How do you tame? By making it tired, by sweating it, by completely utilising it
• Set goals, make lists, come up with ideas, tire your mind and do this EVERYDAY
• Come up with ten business ideas
• Ten ways you can find more time for yourself
• Ten ways I can make money RIGHT NOW
Spiritual BodyDo not time travel.
Spiritual Body• What is time travelling?
• Obsessing on past regrets
• or about future anxieties
• These are memories and speculation. You CANNOT control these
• Do not time travel, live right now
Spiritual Body• Money Worries
• Relationship Fears
• Insecurities
• How will tomorrow be?
• Will I be judged because of yesterday?
• All of this doesn’t exist. It’s your mind pretending.
Spiritual Body• Most people think the word “Spiritual” means “God” or
“Religion”, that’s not true. It means to not time travel, to live in the present
• Pray - for a few seconds of the day just be thankful
• Meditate - try meditation for a few minutes everyday, it’s not that hard
• Being grateful - think of everyone in your life you are grateful for
• Forgiving - picture everyone who has done you wrong. Forgive them.

“Its hard to do all of this every day. Nobody is perfect. I don’t know if I’ll do all of these things
today. But I know when I do it, it works.”
