TRANSCRIPT
Are you tired of being tired all the time?
Hi, this is Grant Herbert, leadership and sustainable performance coach, and today I want to continue our conversation around our shift in resilience — going from "stressed" to "strong" by helping you increase your physical resilience.
Your body, just like mine, needs to be looked after if it's going to perform and continue to do so over a sustainable period.
What I want to talk about today are some practical, physical steps you need to consider and take to increase your level of physical resilience. The three key areas to focus on are: what you eat, how you move, and how much sleep you get.
The first one is — you are what you eat. Whatever you put in is going to determine your output. Think of a high-performance car: if you put diesel in it instead of the high-performance fuel it needs, it's not going to run as it should.
The second area is movement. Sitting has become the new smoking. Make sure that you set your day up to include some movement.
The third area is sleep. Many people tell me, "Oh look, I survive on 5 hours of sleep a night," and I am here to say that is not true. You are not surviving; in fact, you are shortening your life.
Physical resilience is one of the four areas of resilience that will help you go from stressed to being strong. What's one thing you could do differently, starting today, to build more physical resilience?
Well, that's it from me for another week. Join me again next week as we continue this conversation on resilience, focusing on how you can develop more emotional resilience.
