👋 Welcome to the 137th issue of Open Loops, a weekly newsletter on clarity, growth, and building a life that feels like yours.
My name is Reza and each week, I sift through 100+ books, articles, podcasts, and (way too many) tweets to bring you the best in this newsletter.

Ten years from now, your future self will thank you for a seed you planted today.
The habit you started developing.
The inner voice you listened to.
The few sentences you wrote.
The idea you acted on.
The courage.
The risk.
Even if you can't tell where it will lead, today is the day to begin.
It’s the first day of the rest of your life.


Humans are social animals, and so the most peaceful experience possible for us is attunement with another human being. Unfortunately, attunement with others isn’t always available, but your subconscious can’t really tell the difference between attunement-with-self and attunement-with-others. Which means… if we’re able to be present and curious with the tension in our body, without trying to fight it or “fix” it or “solve” it, our experience transforms. Suddenly, the tension becomes almost pleasurable, as an opportunity to “be with” ourselves.
