Topics Discussed in this Episode:

Descheduling my weekend
The things I did and how much better I feel
What I did as a form of active rest
The concept of seeing yourself as an athlete would

Key Takeaways:

Our energies sojourn from the same place.
The majority of us are over-scheduled. We have too much going on, we don’t pay enough attention to the signals that our bodies are sending us, and we don’t factor in enough rest and recovery.
Despite what you might think, a healthy heart does not have a regular interbeat interval but an irregular one.
Generally speaking, the more irregular the interbeat interval, the healthier the heart.
An athlete will peak and deload and their schedule will flex according to what they’ve got on.

Action Steps:

Give descheduling a try and do relaxing, restorative things.
If you’ve had a busy week, look at the weekend you’ve got planned and take something out of that weekend just to give yourself a little bit of an opportunity to recover.
