There are so many things that may stop you from achieving your goals - but the biggest is having that “all or nothing attitude”. Being either fully committed to your routine or being completely off. Let’s dive deeper into this mindset today and figure out ways to get out of this never ending loop.

Today we will be discussing on something very important and relevant in today’s world, something that has been affecting a large number of people across the globe, specially the younger ones or the ones in their teens. It is the image you have in mind of yourself that you want to achieve when embarking on this health journey. It is the will to look a certain way, a will to look perfect, just like somebody you may follow or idolise on a social media platform. Today, we will discuss what’s realistic and what’s not. Also, something termed - body dysmorphia.

So far we have covered basics of exercise, nutrition and recovery. None of the three is more important than the other, and it is imperative to balance out all three in order to see progress, and improve your overall health and longevity. After explaining the importance of recovery in the last episode, it is a good segway to talk about Circadian Rhythm and Sleep. Understanding your circadian rhythm and sleep patterns is super important, specially when sufficient recovery is starting to become a luxury for most of us. It is more about taking incremental steps and keep progressing with whatever you can do in your circumstances. If you don’t have more than 6 hours to sleep, you can still try to improve the quality of sleep you get in those 6 hours. Simple steps that we talk about in the episode can help you improve on that quality and enable to you be ready for the slog again next morning.
