Substance Mindfulness

Nootropics

Ever seen the film Limitless, where a cognitive-enhancing pill basically gives the protagonist superpowers? Want to be the protagonist IRL? Want to play God-mode for an hour or so? Want to know how it feels like to chew 5 Gum? Good news for you! There are ways to brain-boost yourself to the moon out there but be warry, some things are just too good to be true.

Consumption

You are what you eat... quite literally. So the argument goes, if you want to become better, eat better. It's important to be mindful of what you put inside your body, or what you don't. We spend roughly 30% of our waking lives consuming so I guess it might be a good idea to take this 30% under control.

Quantified Self Movement

Facebook can get hold of a lot of your data but not your body data! Your body's metabolism is a huge resource of fine-grained information that you can use for your own self-optimization.
