YOUR PHYSICAL NEEDS YOUR MENTAL WELLNESS

Physical capacity is the ability to improve our health, well-being, and physical performance. This goes beyond the obvious things like what you eat and how much you exercise. Building this capacity requires us to focus on things we take for granted like sleep, stress, and our energy.

Physical capacity is simultaneously crucial and easy to overlook. While we all know health is important, so many of us ignore our physical well-being until we get bad news from our doctors. Often by that point, things are never the same, and we wish we could turn back the clock and make changes.

The fact is that while our brains drive personal and professional success, it’s our bodies that do the heavy lifting to carry us to those goals.

Try this: What are some ways that neglecting your physical  wellness has gotten in the way of your performance? Identify these problems and attempt to address one this week. Try going to bed an hour earlier, make a note to stretch your legs during work, or try a new exercise routine.
