📣 First Principles of the 5 Factors, Being an Asset, Living a Meaningful Life, & More
Hello, friends!
In this week’s episode, we delve into one of the foundational frameworks that underpin our entire approach to living a life of excellence – the five factors of health.
We revisit the first principles of each factor: moving our bodies frequently, nourishing ourselves with real foods, fostering a mindset of curiosity over judgment, prioritizing restorative sleep, and surrounding ourselves with supportive communities.
Through our discussion, we aim to reinforce the importance of mastering these fundamental behaviors as the bedrock for pursuing purpose, passion, balance, and poise in all areas of life.
Additionally, we address listener questions on optimizing movement throughout the workday, navigating conflicting fitness goals, and finding the courage to align your career with your deepest values.
