When I listen to my body and my needs. I went to the gym yesterday prepared to slay my body, and realized stretching and active recovery was a better choice, for instance. This helped me feel more recovered for my workout today, which then fueled me to stay productive the rest of the day: learning something new with my job, finishing a book I’ve been reading, studying a language for an upcoming language exam, reading my bible, being asked to sub for a volleyball league this evening, etc.
