I think I can, I think I can…

Ever have those days where you wake up tired and need an extra energy boost to get started on your day? That’s natural for anyone. Sometimes we just get worn out and need to take a break. The challenge comes when we already have meetings, parties, work, errands, and other things planned and can’t change those.

I usually find that the best way to approach these days is by giving myself what I call a little ‘extra cushion’. If I exercise, I take it easy. No 7% inclines on the treadmill for me! I read a mindless magazine before work for a few minutes. When I’m working I try to remember to give myself a brief break to stretch every few hours.

By doing this, you can still do good work while allowing your body to recover. Listen to yourself. It’ll do your body good. You can have a productive day and seize be ready to seize tomorrow.
