📜 Building Healthy Habits When You’re Truly Exhausted
Hi friend.
If you're ambitious, have a lot of responsibilities, or in general, frequently find yourself with a full schedule, life can get overwhelmingly stressful. You end up juggling so many things that you forget about self-care. Unfortunately, this can lead to poor performance at work and at home, which leads to more stress and busyness, and to self-care slipping even more.
This article from Harvard Business Review offers a few tips for getting back on track: Building Healthy Habits When You’re Truly Exhausted. In a nutshell, it goes back to the fundamentals of what makes for a healthy lifestyle:
- Sleep -- "If you’re super tired, then the key to greater productivity is not to push harder, but push less."
- Nutrition -- "Greater water intake improves energy, aids concentration, and reduces fatigue and anxiety." (a linked study shows)
- Exercise -- "Counterintuitively, exercise ultimately gives you more energy throughout the day instead of depleting it. It also has the added benefits of improving mood, sleep quality, and focus."
Check it out if you're interested.
Happy learning,
George
