Build a Foundation of Health and Well-Being
When you’re feeling, tired and fatigued, it can be confusing and unclear how to successfully live a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Committing yourself to improving your health and well-being is a key part of optimizing for performance because these foundational elements are the support for higher function and performance.
There are several components of health and well-being that go beyond the basics of anatomical health and physical well-being of your body. According to Gallup, there are five factors that contribute to overall well-being—your career, social life, finances, physical health, and community.
