Personal health is so important to the long game
If you ignore it
Then you're only setting yourself up for a much bigger problem down the road
If your schedule is so busy
You can't make time to feed yourself
Something is out of balance
And i promise you it's not the lunch
That's the problem
How many people take five minutes in the middle of the day
To just reflect on where they're at not too many
Once our days get started
We push and push and push until we land on our couch at nine p
M and say
Wow
I am exhausted
Life is not a sprint
Life is a marathon
Instead of only having a quiet morning and or a quiet night
Make time to have five minutes of quiet in the middle of the day as well
If it's impossible to find that
Then excuse yourself to the bathroom for those five minutes
Everyone has to use the bathroom right
Whatever it takes
Make those five minutes happen sometime in the afternoon
You'll be amazed at what
Five minutes of quiet can do for the rest of your day
Six
Find some free time
If you're a driven individual
The concept of free time doesn't really exist
Free time is more time
You can spend working toward your goals
However
In the long run
This can also produce problems
Everybody needs time to unwind
It's not the length of time that matters as much as the quality of time
An hour
Completely detached from your daily grind is much more productive than five hours detached
In which you mentally punish yourself for taking a break free time is crucial
Especially for creatives
Let your mind wander
Take a step back
See the forest instead of the trees
