Burn Bright: Sleep & Movement

In many ways, sleep is the X factor in bringing your best, most energized, most resilient self more consistently to all areas of your life. Without a strong sleep foundation, resilience is significantly harder to build and maintain. Building in time to recover and recharge at work improves resilience and strengthens your performance. Likewise, movement is a key component to increased resilience and performance, both in our personal and professional lives. Movement and exercise are a proven way to promote the growth of new brain cells. Even just five minutes of exercise outdoors can decrease stress, improve mood, enhance focus, and boost self-control. In the modern workspace many of us may find ourselves sitting at a desk or in conference rooms for hours on end, but there are strategies that you can begin to incorporate to bring movement into the workplace for you and your team members.
