So something that Dana and I believe in is that the healthier you are, the more productive you are.
Now this doesn't just mean work. But, since that's the first thing most people think of, let's talk about that for a moment.
How many times have you dreaded waking up in order to go to work? Is is because you're not particularly fond of your job? For a lot of people, that's exactly the reason why. But how much easier would it be to face your day if you felt your best? Had a healthy breakfast that helped get you on your way?
But thankfully, there's more to life than just work. All of us lead full lives whether we think so or not. We all have friends and family, hobbies, interests that demand our attention, even if it's just a small portion of it. Those interests use up energy. But we don't always replenish that energy the way we should. And when those interests revolve around something fun, we don't even think about it.
This happens to Dana and I from time to time. But luckily, over the years, we've learned to listen to our bodies and develop a routine that works for us. The end result, we have more time to spend with our family doing the things we want instead of sitting down for a moment or taking a nap and missing out.
The way I look at it, that's the whole point of living a healthy life. It's not just about eating right and exercising, it's about taking care of ourselves so that we can do more and get more out of our lives.
Ask yourself, if you had more energy, or simply more time, what would you do? Who would you spend that extra time with? What could you accomplish that you've been putting off because you were just too tired?
We all have full lives to lead that are worth living. It's up to us to actually do it.
