This week\u2019s episode is about the value of taking care of ourselves to we can stay active.    We have to build in healthy motion in our lives to improve ourselves physically. I don\u2019t mean getting a Hollywood superhero physique, but one of the worst things we can do to ourselves is to stay stagnant.   I don\u2019t love the gym, but I love having the energy, strength and endurance to show up in my loved ones\u2019 lives and be the best version of myself.   So, what are some steps for promoting physical-care?    Sleep \u2014 Develop a healthy sleep rhythm. We\u2019re never going to feel motivated to do jumping jacks if we don\u2019t have the right amount of sleep. Diet \u2014 What you\u2019re putting into the gas tank will determine how well our engine runs. Our blood pressure, our strength, even our joint health is determined by what we eat. Eating \u2014 Take a lunch break! Not eating because you\u2019re so busy is a terrible habit. Eat in rhythm and on time. Movement \u2014 And if you\u2019re on a break, go for a walk. Healthy motion doesn\u2019t mean running a 5K or bench press, it can be a short walk around your workplace or walking your dog down the street. Stretching \u2014 Make sure you\u2019re mobile enough to accomplish your goals and commitments. Stretching promotes movement and that means being able to do what you need to do Rest \u2014 Take your vacation time. Not taking the time to rest and recover means the world isn\u2019t getting the best version of you.
