โSimply moving your body, has immediate, long-lasting and protective benefits for your brainโ
– Wendy Suzuki, profesor of Natural Science and Psychology ๐

Excercise will have both a positive chemical effect on your brain ๐ง reducing stress and improving mood as well as resulting in lasting positive benefits for the brain and body!
:::
It is scientifically proven that working out improves your mood and decreases feelings of depression, anxiety and stress ๐ค.
After a good workout session your body starts producing lots of endorphines โ happy hormones ๐คฉ
:::
You feel proud and satisfied that youโve worked out and managed to make your muscles work = your mood is better ๐
Your heart is beating fast so brings lots of blood and oxygen to your body and to your brain = your mind and memory works better ๐ค
:::
Working out regularly makes your body chage, you lose weight, your body gets firm and looks better, your have more endorphines in your body, your mind works better = youโre happier ๐ค

This is so simple!
Excercise does really improve happiness! ๐

You should workout 20-40 min 3-4 times a week. I know you donโt feel like it, I know itโsย ย hard to start ๐. Believe me it is so hard for me to get up from a couch or desk andย workout, Iย almost never feel like it and need to force myself to do it but I ALWAYS feel soooo good afterwards โบ

So, have you worked out today?ย ๐

Morning routine
Do you have your own morning routine? ๐ค Healthy morning routine is one of the things that all successful people have in common ๐.
:::
Plenty celebrities or people of business whoโve reached their goals revealed their secrets that they wake up very early (some of them at 4-5 a.m.) and they always start their day in the same way ๐ โ they meditate ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ, they write in their journals โ, they eat something healthy ๐ฅ, set their affirmations etc. ๐ค
:::
Why is it so successful? ๐คจ Because depending on your mindset you start your day with, the day can go either so-so or great ๐!
:::
If you set your mindset right, get into positive thinking and start your day with a smile on your face ๐ you really can achieve more! Thanks to this positive energy youโll be less stressed and less willing to get annoyed quickly ๐, youโll be more creative and e.g. when you face a problem youโll look at it in a different way and will find solution for it quicker ๐, youโll have more energy to actually work and push your boundaries and so much more! ๐

Healthy balance
You know whatโs one of my main rules in life? Healthy balance about EVERYTHING ๐
:::
We live in crazy times where everybody is in a rush, everybody wants to be the best at something ๐ฌ. Some people risk it all to get what they want. Is it worth it though? ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
:::
Iโve heard some people say that in order to be successful you need to totally limit your time off and focus on work ๐ถ. That you need to drop Netflix, drop the time with your loved ones and spend every minute of your day self-evolving ๐ That instead of watching a tv show on Netflix in the evening you should focus on broadening your skills, your knowledge and read a book ๐
:::
I understand that in order to succeed you need to work hard and I totally agree with that ๐ I highly encourage everybody to self-evolve, to learn new skillsโฆ sure, that too โ๏ธ. But to limit your time off? ๐ To never watch Netflix (apart from the fact that you can always learn something from a tv show/movie/documentary ๐)? To never have propper leisure time? ๐
Na-ah ๐
:::
There needs to be balanceโ. Not only you NEED TO REST regularly in order to rebuild your energy to work, to get new ideas ๐คฉ, to stay fresh ๐ but if you work your ass off and never rest youโll lose your motivation, lose your will to work and it will all become a torture for you and in the end when you succeed it wonโt bring you any joy ๐
:::
Another example are people who want to lose weight or muscle up and they work out every day or even twice a day ๐. That ainโt the way to do it ๐ซ. Muscles grow on your rest days! You need at least 1 day break from working out a week for the body to recharge and for your muscles to grow.
:::
You should make sure that thereโs heathy balance โ in every part of your life:
Between work ๐ป & rest ๐ฌ
Between working out ๐ช& regeneration ๐งโโ๏ธ
Between your career ๐ฉโ๐ป & private life ๐
Between the time youโve got for others ๐ฅ and time youโve got for yourself ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ
Between physical development ๐ช and mental development ๐ง
Between caring about whatโs important โ ๏ธ and ignoring whatโs not ๐ซ
Healthy balance is the key, believe me ๐
