Have you ever tried descheduling your day? In this Insights episode, I share the things I did when I descheduled my weekend and focused on getting better by doing restorative and relaxing things.

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.
