The Key To Better Decisions

I don't get sick very often but when I do it's always when my sleep has been lacking.

So why do I continue to push the boundaries? I'm not feeling 100% right now and I still got up early. Why?

Because I have lots to do of course! But is that a good reason? Am I really performing optimally? Would I be further ahead if I just gave my body the rest it needs?

The body is smart. If I'm not giving it what it needs, it will do whatever it can to get it. If it's sleep, eventually the body says "alright, you're not going to rest, I'll force you to rest!" Actually, before that it gives little signs but it's up to me to pick up on them and take action.

I know I'm not the only one who does this. And I have a feeling it's not only around sleep.

Everyday humans make bad health choices. We eat garbage that harms our bodies. We watch things that poison our minds. We hang out with people who steal our energy. We sit down for hours on end. We know we should not be doing these things but we do them anyways.

Why is it so hard to make good decisions for ourselves?

For myself, the first step to making better decisions is better sleep.

What's yours?
