โIf you donโt take care of yourself, you cannot take care of others.โ
This isnโt just battlefield wisdom โ itโs a game-changer in business and life.
Think about it:
When youโre running on empty, what happens?
โข Your energy tanks ( 
Been there)
โข Your mood affects everyone around you ( Grumpy Black Cloud)
โข Simple decisions become mountains ( โHello Procrastinationโ)
โข Your family gets the leftovers of your day ( Not proud of it)
As they say, before taking off:
โIn case of emergency: Put on your own oxygen mask first, before assisting others.โ

๐ฃ๐ต๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป (the Basics):
โข Move daily.
Walking also counts, but preferably high intensity workouts and/or heavy weights.
โข Real food, not food-like products. Supplement if needed.
(Link to my health food company and discount code in the comments)
โข 7-8 hours of quality sleep
โข Hydration (your brain is 75% water). I start my day with 750ml of BCAA, electrolytes and creatine to get my fluids up and brain sharp.
๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐๐ต:
โข Strategic breaks (theyโre not luxury, theyโre necessity)
โข Daily meditation (Ray Dalio actually pays his employees to do this)
โข Intentional positivity (happiness is a choice)
โข Energy management (itโs even more crucial than time management)
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ธ:
You wouldnโt start a mission with broken equipment.
So why are you running your life that way?
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ:
Taking care of yourself isnโt selfish โ itโs strategic.
Itโs not an expense โ itโs an investment.
Itโs not optional โ itโs mission-critical.
Itยดs the only way youยดll be able to take care of others.
And in the endโฆ.that is all you want to do anyway.
