When things get busy your health is the first thing out the window
When things get busy your health is the first thing out the window
You stop exercising
You start eating more sugar
You mess up your sleep pattern
You use alcohol to calm down
You stop taking breaks
Your health and energy is in a constant yo-yo and it’s starting to be more towards the negative as the stress habits hang continue during the calm times.
What you need is an M.E.D
Instead of waiting for that balance you hope to one day achieve you need a process designed FOR the busy, stressful times.
A minimum effective dose
Imagine facing your most stressful times with greater calm, focus and energy.
Navigating and releasing your stress hormones, deeply resting and facing each day with clarity.
What’s the solution?
1. Create structure around those things that keep your nervous system on high alert eg problem solving, mobile phone, communication availability.
2. Ritualise the morning and bed time so the nervous system recognises cues and produces the right hormones at the right time to support energy and sleep.
3. Create a minimum effective dose of diet, exercise, and deep rest that take next to no time but support your desired energy and calm
It’s sounds simple, it is, you just have to be willing to accept those times of stress and plan for them rather than keep telling yourself that this is the last one.
