Work is Stress - But You're No Good to Them if You're Dead
Being the boss is stress X 100.
We see the toll on new managers in every one of our sessions.
Besides their expertise, the new leaders now have to manage people.
And that comes at a cost.
But you’re no good to anyone - business and family both - if your physical and mental health suffers.
Tracking the lifestyles of over 700,000 people, a recent survey suggested adding these 8 healthy habits.
(It could add over 20 years to your lifespan).
Exercise. Move. Get those steps in. Compared to those who don’t, people who do have a 46 percent decrease in the risk of death FROM ANY CAUSE.
You’re not addicted to opioids.
No smoking. No vaping.
Manage stress. Small steps, but vitally important you find balance.
Eat your veggies. Add more to your meals. The greener the better.
Avoid binge drinking.
More quality sleep. 7 to 9 hours.
Talk to your friends. Not random texts or likes. Make time, laugh. Listen.
All the leadership coaching in the world won’t help you if you’re coming in hot, sleep deprived, hung-over and jonsing for a cigarette.
Look after yourself.
Bonus question: How can you tell someone does crossfit?
Answer: Don’t worry. They’ll tell you.
Don’t be that person.
