recharge

Sleep helps your body recharge and recover.

Not enough or poor quality sleep increases immune system dysfunction and stresses the body. Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep a night to function at their best level.

refresh

Making time for yourself lets your body reset.

Even only a ten-minutes break from screens and constant input makes a difference. Take time to go for a walk, listen to music, read for pleasure, meditate or practice mindfulness. This builds resiliency and helps decrease stress. To get started, check out my many blog posts on this topic such as the quick & sneaky way to reduce stress and my most popular blog, the new definition of success.

relate

Good relationships support your health and well-being.

Try to spend time each day connecting with a person you appreciate. It is even more rewarding to express gratitude for that relationship. This could be in-person or via a call, text, email or a handwritten card. This boosts your wellness and your friend’s wellness. To get started, check out my blog post on relating to yourself and others: a secret to longevity.
