💡 AI Idea of The Day 💡

A valuable tip, idea, or hack to help you harness AI
for wellbeing, spirituality, or self-improvement.

Stoicism Without Strategy is Fragile.

Whenever I bottle feelings, they boomerang.

But emotional awareness with boundaries?

Power move.

Here’s how I harden my mindset without losing my humanity: 💡

Because real resilience isn't about armouring up—it's about learning when to listen, when to act and when to laugh at your inner chaos.

1) First I start with a prompt asking what emotion needs naming today?

Because unlabelled emotions act like toddlers with glitter—chaotic, sticky and guaranteed to show up when you least want them. Naming the emotion turns it from a foghorn to a compass.

Now you’re steering the ship instead of yelling from the crow’s nest.

This is how…

Prompt: Strategic Stoicism in Three Steps 🧠

For [insert your name]:

What emotion am I avoiding today—but need to name?

What small action would honour what that emotion is pointing to?

What daily habit could reinforce this insight without forcing it?

Feel it.

Name it.

Move with it.

Mental strength isn’t silence—it’s strategy.

2) Next I translate the emotion I discovered into useful action.

Because reflection without motion is just a motivational poster taped to a treadmill you never use.

You’re not here to become emotionally aware and then sit in it like a soggy sandwich. You're here to alchemise that feeling into forward movement.
Even one small action says, “I heard you inner chaos—and I’ve got this.”

3) Lastly I reinforce that action with a habit that honours the insight.

Because mindset without maintenance is just a fleeting mood in disguise.
One daily habit turns your insight from a moment into momentum—like turning emotional protein into neural muscle.

It’s not just about knowing better—it’s about repping better.

The mind is a muscle.

Feel it to forge it.

→ What emotion are you avoiding today my friend?

The Weird Link Between an Alien, Joe Rogan And AI Wellness. 👽

You’ve been Googling your symptoms at 2:30 AM again, haven’t you?

And sure, you might find something helpful... wedged between a mummy blog, a Reddit thread from 2008, and an ad for elderberry foot cream. But let’s be honest—asking Google what’s wrong with you is like asking a jukebox for legal advice: loud, outdated and somehow ends in panic.

Now you can use ALLEN to diagnose your ailments—your AI-powered wellbeing whisperer from Ways2Well. 🩺⚡

He doesn’t guess.

He doesn’t spiral.

He scans real medical data to give you real answers—no medical rabbit holes or WebMD-induced meltdowns.

Your search history just breathed a sigh of relief.

ALLEN isn’t just another chatbot with a stethoscope emoji. He’s a digital health AI companion, that has an Alien avatar, that you simply touch and he tells you about your health issues. It’s the same on the app version on your phone!

ALLEN is trained on millions of biomarkers, designed to analyse your bloodwork and provide personalised health insights. Think of him as a tech-savvy mate who actually knows what he’s talking about.

Here’s how ALLEN works:

You get your blood drawn, and ALLEN dives into the data, offering insights into your hormone levels, vitamin deficiencies and more.

He then crafts a tailored health protocol, complete with lifestyle and supplement recommendations. It’s like having a personalised health coach, available 24/7, who doesn’t get annoyed by your silly sneeze questions.

And if you’re into cutting-edge treatments, Ways2Well also offers stem cell therapy, with ALLEN guiding you through the process. It’s healthcare, but smoother than an immunity shot at a Silicon Valley yoga retreat.

“Meet ALLEN: The AI Health Assistant Who Knows Your Blood Better Than Your Granny”

Check out the clip below where Joe Rogan talks about the time he visited a large screen version of ALLEN in Austin to diagnose some shoulder issues.

Key Takeaways

• ALLEN analyses your bloodwork to provide personalised health insights.
  

• He offers tailored health protocols, including lifestyle and supplement recommendations.
  

• Ways2Well combines AI with advanced treatments like stem cell therapy.

Why It Matters 🧠

Let’s face it: navigating the healthcare system can feel like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the manual.

ALLEN, like the allen key in your nuts and bolts bag, aims to simplify that process by providing clear, personalised health info based on your own data.

By leveraging AI, ALLEN can identify potential health issues before they become serious problems. It’s proactive healthcare, designed to keep you feeling your best without the guesswork.

Plus, with stem cell therapy in its toolkit, Ways2Well isn’t just treating what’s broken—it’s upgrading your biology like a Formula 1 pit crew for your mitochondria.

This isn’t medicine—it’s personalised performance tuning for the meat suit you call home. 🧬 🔧

What’s Next? 🔮

Curious to see what ALLEN can do for you?

Guessing your health is so 2020. With bloodwork as the blueprint, ALLEN turns your results into a bio-personalised action plan—like giving your body a medical GPS instead of hoping it rediscovers optimal health through smoke signals. 🧪

You can even dip your toes into futuristic fixes like stem cell therapy—ALLEN will walk you through it like a lab-coated concierge.

So if you're done crowdsourcing diagnoses from Instagram, let ALLEN take the reins. However, you may want to hold back on telling your GP you’re getting advice from a chatbot. 🧬🤖

Your Honour, the Victim Would Like a Word… From Beyond the Grave 👻

"Christopher’s Killer Faced Him in Court—Via Code"

So you’re in court, sentenced for a road rage murder. Then boom—your victim walks in. Or rather, his AI clone does.

Welcome to 2025—the AI era!

Meet Christopher Pelkey, a U.S. Army veteran who tragically died in a Chandler, Arizona road rage incident. His family used AI to resurrect his voice and face, crafting a virtual video where Christopher delivers his own victim impact statement.

Forgiving.

Poised.

Eerily human.

The weird part?

It wasn’t just theatrics!

It was presented in a real court during the sentencing of the shooter, Gabriel Ramirez.

Arizona judges hadn’t seen anything like this ever before.

Neither has the world!

The family’s goal was not revenge, but reclamation. A way to give Christopher the final word.

His sister said it gave her peace.

His brother-in-law engineered it.

And the courtroom?

Dead silent—except for the voice of a man who shouldn’t be speaking.

This is either the most touching use of AI since ChatGPT helped you write your ex a closure text...

Or a Black Mirror-esqe preview of the court rooms of the future!

Either way, this wasn’t just an impact statement. It was digital resurrection with a moral compass. 🧬💻⚖️

Key Takeaways

• You can now deepfake the dead to deliver courtroom testimony.
  

• AI’s power in grief is real—and possibly therapeutic. Or terrifying. Depends who you ask.
  

• Arizona just accidentally beta-tested AI’s role in the justice of the future.

Why It Matters 🧠

Because one day, that hologram you mocked in an AI simulated environment might be reading your eulogy—or testifying at your murder trial.

AI isn’t only about emerging tech.

It’s also about closure.

About control in chaos.

About families reclaiming agency when systems fall short.

Imagine losing someone, then giving them back their voice, their dignity, their message. Imagine being able to say, “He said this. In his words. To you.” Even when he’s gone.

But it’s also a legal minefield.

What if AI statements are manipulated?

What if prosecutors start building custom victims for emotional impact?

Grief tech is emerging. You’re no longer just mourning in black—you're now editing in Premiere Pro. And like every tool, it’s what you do with it that counts.

“Family Deepfakes Their Dead Son So He Could Testify In Court. AI Just Gave Closure a Voice.”

What’s Next? 🔮

You’ve got to ask yourself—if you could speak to someone after death, would you?

And if you could, would you let them speak to others?

Start here:

• Explore tools like Descript, Synthesia, or ElevenLabs. They’re the Photoshop of human memory.
  

• Journal your legacy like a memoir-meets-podcast. Tools like Notion AI and StoryFile can help future-proof your voice.
  

• Think about your digital will. Who owns your voiceprint when you’re gone?
  

• Or... keep it simple. Record a message for your loved ones that doesn’t need AI to decode. Sometimes, the techiest thing you can do is say what matters before it's too late.

Just don’t leave your last words in Comic Sans.

Check out the Hereafter AI app below to speak to your dead loved ones

You’re Not Tired, Your Energies Stuck: Here’s How to Fix it in 5 Minutes 🧘‍♂️🔋

G’day, my high-performing, techno-savvy friend.

If you’re stuck in that 2:37pm productivity black hole—you know the one—where your brain feels like a wet sponge and your body’s convinced it’s a beanbag… pull up a metaphorical cushion.

Because what you’re feeling isn’t laziness.

It’s stagnation.

Your energy isn’t gone—it’s just curled up in a corner somewhere sulking like a moody house cat.

Why?

There are three reasons why your energies low:

1. You’re not moving enough – When your body stays still for too long, your energy grid starts behaving like its rush-hour traffic in Bangkok.
   
   Your breath gets shallow.
   
   Muscles go offline.
   
   Qi?

   
   Parked.
   

2. You’re overthinking – Your mind’s been running laps while your body’s been benched. This creates an upstairs-downstairs communication breakdown.
   
   Result: Foggy brain, anxious gut and a slow inner dullness that feels like you’re a version of Windows 98 crashing.
   

3. You’re disconnected – From breath, posture and sensation. You’re a brain on a stick. Your nervous system’s screaming for recalibration and you’re scrolling Instagram wondering why you hate everyone and everything!

But fret not—today, we’re plugging you back into your own energy matrix, your manic motherboard, with something that’s been around thousands of years before TikTok, Zoloft or to-do lists:

Qi Gong for Productivity™.

Think of it as Tai Chi’s cooler cousin—less mystical flute music, more nervous system upgrade, better results.

Rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, Qi Gong combines gentle movement, breath control and focused intention. The aim is to circulate energy through your body’s grid like a Zen electrician rewiring your body and brain while humming Tibetan throat chants.

What I’m about to show you is a five-minute flow based on this ancient practice designed to jumpstart your energy, unjam your Qi and turn your slouchy 3pm slump into a focus-powered renaissance.

Get ready to breathe in and energise like a Tesla battery…

What You’ll Learn Today 🌟

• Why Qi Gong isn’t just slow-motion tai chi for boomers

• How your body holds the key to your midday energy resets

• Step-by-step ChatGPT prompt to build a perfect 5-min recharge flow

• An AI tool that gives you movement rituals tailored to your energy state

• Why your nervous system begs you to stop scrolling and start moving

Let’s do this. 💪

Qi Gong Meets Productivity: Ancient Energy, Modern Burnout

Imagine for a moment that you are in ancient China—the Ming Dynasty. A wisened old sage in silk robes gently moves his arms in a circular motion as if stirring clouds and collecting light.

What’s wild is… that old sage wasn’t just doing interpretive cloud dance. He was moving qi—life force—on purpose. And while the setting’s changed from temples to Teams calls, your body still runs on the same ancient circuitry.

Energy jams?

Still a thing.

Only now they show up as brain fog, burnout and random neck spasms at 3:17pm.

Fast-forward a few dynasties and swap the mountain mist for office fog—same energy stuck, just different robes and worse posture.

Now fast-forward to you, hunched over Slack with a jaw tighter than a Pit Bull.

Again, different century, same problem: stress stagnates energy.

But Qi Gong can help!

Qi Gong (pronounced "chee-gong") is a secret sauce the ancients created to restore balance, circulate Qi (life force energy) and support your organ health!

A Brief History of Qi Gong 🏯

Qi Gong (氣功) has been flowing through Chinese culture for over 4,000 years—long before kombucha and cold plunges became a thing. Originally practiced in temples by monks, warriors and physicians, it was the OG upgrade for body, breath and brain.

A little like ancient biohacking meets spiritual tech; it is a daily ritual to align your Qi (life force), sharpen your mind and keep your organs in tip-top shape.

The Data Doesn’t Lie 📊🧠

And now modern science has finally caught up with the monks.

A 2020 meta-analysis in Frontiers in Psychology found that regular Qi Gong practice significantly improves cognitive performance, lowers cortisol (your stress hormone frenemy) and enhances vagal tone—your nervous system's chill button.

Meanwhile, fMRI scans show increased activity in prefrontal regions post-practice—aka your brain’s CEO suite. So yes, Qi Gong isn’t just woo woo—it’s a neurophysiological tune-up in slow motion.

Qi Gong boosts focus, regulates your nervous system and increases oxygen-rich blood to the brain.

Translation?

You think better, feel calmer and remember where you put your car keys.

Corporate warriors from Silicon Valley to Sydney boiler room finance bros are now using this in the workplace. It's like power yoga's chill cousin.

“So now that you know about the benefits of Qi Gong, let’s create your personalised 5-minute energy routine!”

✅ The ChatGPT Prompt That Builds Your Flow 🏃‍♂️

Use this when you're feeling foggy, sluggish or staring into the existential void that is your inbox.

Fire up this prompt and plug it into your AI platform of choice to cultivate your energy 💬

[START OF PROMPT]

Act as a certified Qi Gong instructor with training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and workplace wellbeing. Create a personalised 5-minute Qi Gong flow for [user's role or workplace setting], suitable for doing either seated at a desk or standing in an office environment. The flow should help [goal, e.g., "boost energy," "improve posture," "reset mental focus"], and must include:

– Gentle breathwork techniques
– Simple visualisations
– Mindfulness tips to stay present throughout the practice

The instructions should be beginner-friendly and adapted to [user’s physical needs or time of day if applicable].

[END OF PROMPT]

Example response:

Now I feel like a high-performing monk with a caffeine-free buzz. 🌝

A personal story:

Back in my twenties, Qi Gong was my quiet rebellion—wedged between saunas, breath work and scribbled journal entries.

While everyone else was necking ecstasy, tequila shots and espressos, I learnt to cultivate and guide my energy like a conductor in an invisible orchestra.

Later, during my time as a lay Zen monk, I took things deeper with Dahn Hak—a Korean energy art that weaves movement, breath and inner awareness into something that felt half ritual, half rocket fuel.

Today, it’s less temple floor, more office corridor—subtle moves while the kettle boils, when I take a shower or Teams loads.

It’s not a routine.

It’s a reset button I carry in my spine.

Now I’m fusing silicon with stillness.

With AI, I can fine-tune my practice using wearables, neural feedback and tailored prompts that respond to me in real time. It’s like having a mirror that shows you your energy, not your face.

The tech doesn’t replace the ancient—it refines it.

And when both speak the same language?

You don’t just feel better.

You operate on another frequency.

• QiFlow = your pocket-sized Qi Master

Remember: Productivity isn’t grinding harder. It’s moving smarter. ✨

So the next time your brain starts buffering, drop the mouse, breathe deep, and give your Qi a cheeky little nudge using AI.

And here’s the real kicker: your body already knows how to do this—it’s just been muted by calendars, caffeine and capitalism. With a little guidance and a dose of intention, you won’t only survive your workday—you’ll rewire it.

One breath, one twist, one prompt at a time.

You got this, grasshopper. 🦗
