Alright, bro, let’s be real—most people think leveling up means some massive life overhaul. Like you gotta wake up at 4 AM, drink raw eggs, and meditate for hours. Nah. The truth? Small, tiny changes stack up over time and lead to massive results.
So instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, I’ve got 10 micro habits you can start today that’ll have you feeling like a whole new man in a week. And the best part? They take zero effort.
Let’s get into it.
1. Wake Up to These 5 Songs for Instant Energy
Ever wake up feeling like you just fought a bear in your sleep? You’re dragging, staring at your phone, contemplating life choices.
Here’s the hack: music between 100-160 BPM (beats per minute) instantly boosts your energy by raising your heart rate. Your body literally syncs up with the tempo.
Throw these on your “Wake Up & Dominate” playlist:
Every Time We Touch – Cascada
I Like It – Cardi B
You Really Got Me – Van Halen
Seven Rings – Ariana Grande
Feel Good – Gorillaz
I tried this after a rough night (you know, one of those “just gonna watch one more episode” nights), and bro—within 30 seconds, I went from half-dead zombie to fully functioning beast mode.
2. Weigh Yourself Every Morning to Stay in Check
Listen, scales don’t lie. You ever step on one and immediately regret last night’s “just one slice” turning into half the pizza?
Here’s how to keep your eating in check without counting every calorie:
- Same weight as yesterday? Eat normal.
- Weigh more? Fast until lunch.
- Weigh less? Congrats, reward yourself with an extra snack.
It’s like a daily gut-check (literally). I started doing this, and it lowkey turned my subconscious into a built-in nutrition coach. Suddenly, I’m choosing an apple over chips, not because I “should,” but because I know I’ll see that number in the morning.
3. Eat the Right Foods to Look & Feel Better
You are literally what you eat. If you’re always tired, breaking out, or feeling like a soggy pancake, your diet is probably trash.
Here’s what to eat based on your goal:
Clear Skin → Avocados, walnuts, berries
Muscle Growth → Eggs, chicken breast, quinoa
Gut Health → Yogurt, kimchi, whole grains
I keep it stupid simple—avocado toast with eggs in the morning. Boom. Three goals in one meal.
4. Rewire Your Brain in One Day
Your brain loves autopilot mode—same morning routine, same habits, same thoughts. Let’s shake things up.
Today, try these:
Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand
Use your phone with your non-dominant hand
Make coffee one-handed
Why? This forces your brain to create new neural pathways, making you sharper, more adaptable, and better at learning new skills.
I tried this once, and not gonna lie—I nearly dropped my toothbrush into the toilet. But after a few days, my brain felt more awake all day long.
5. Listen to These Audiobooks for 15 Minutes a Day
You ever meet a guy who’s just on another level—mentally sharp, confident, always seems to have the right answer? Yeah, that’s not luck. That’s knowledge.
Here are five books every man should listen to:
The Alchemist – Finding purpose
The 4-Hour Workweek – Entrepreneur mindset
No More Mr. Nice Guy – Understanding women
Man’s Search for Meaning – Deep wisdom
Extreme Ownership – Unbreakable mindset
Pro tip: skip to the chapters that matter to you. I only listened to Outsourcing Life in The 4-Hour Workweek, and it changed how I manage my time forever.
6. Use Your Mirror to Smash Every Goal
Alright, this one’s weird, but trust me.
Before bed, look at yourself in the mirror and ask:
“What’s ONE thing I can do tomorrow to make this guy proud?”
Write it down. On your mirror, car window, or phone wallpaper.
I did this once as a joke… and then found myself actually sticking to my goals because I couldn’t lie to my own reflection. Try it for a week.
7. Use This Hand Trick to Instantly Kill Anxiety
Feeling anxious before a big moment? Try this:
1.Extend your hands out, palms down.
2. Interlock your fingers.
3. Press your thumb into the top of your opposite hand.
Hold 5 seconds, release, repeat 5x.
I tried this before a nerve-wracking meeting, and bro, it worked. Science says this activates pressure points that calm the nervous system.
8. Only Work Out Between 7-10 AM for More Testosterone
Want more energy, strength, and drive? Hit the gym between 7-10 AM.
Why? That’s when your testosterone is at its peak. Meaning:
More muscle gain
Faster recovery
Increased strength
Do these 5 exercises for max testosterone:
Chin-ups
Pull-ups
Bench press
Deadlifts
Barbell squats
Started doing this, and suddenly, I’m lifting heavier and feeling unstoppable all day long.
9. Journal Like This to Stay Focused
You ever have a million thoughts swirling in your head, making it impossible to focus? Here’s an easy fix:
Write down one of these every day:
What’s one thing I learned today?
What’s something I’m grateful for?
What’s one problem I solved?
I used to think journaling was for poets and therapists—now it’s my go-to tool for clearing my mind and making better decisions.
10. Watch More Movies to Be Successful
Yeah, you read that right. I’m telling you to watch TV—but not just anything.
Watch movies that teach you about business, mindset, and success.
Here are 10 must-watch movies:
The Founder
Jobs
The Social Network
The Wolf of Wall Street

Every time I watch The Social Network, I get so fired up, I wanna build a billion-dollar company before the credits even roll.
