📜 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."
