[LifeHack] Short bursts of movement help your sleep

I sometimes have trouble falling asleep - it's normal, and it's probably happening to most of us occasionally. What is a simple way to avoid having such troubles with sleep?

The science has the answer: short bursts of movement during the day help you get a better quality of sleep and also to fall asleep faster. Think about integrating walking meetings at work, or short stretching breaks, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator, park your car further from the office entrance, do a few squats or whatever other small movement you can integrate in your day-to-day life.

Why is that: this increases your level of endorphines, and helps you have better more relaxing thoughts during the day, reducing the mental stress as well.

[Eat Well] Want some proteins?

Eat Well: Want Some Proteins? When I was in my early 30s, I found myself constantly battling hunger pangs and struggling to maintain a healthy weight. Despite eating what I thought was a balanced diet, I often felt unsatisfied and reached for unhealthy snacks. It wasn’t until I discovered the power of protein that everything changed. The Importance of Protein Protein is a crucial macronutrient that plays a vital role in our bodies. It helps build and repair tissues, makes enzymes and hormones, and is a building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. But beyond these essential functions, protein has a unique ability to keep us feeling full and satisfied, which can be a game-changer for weight management.

This means it stays in your stomach longer, helping you feel full for a more extended period...

I always value a good quality sleep of 7 hours or so. And yet there are days (or evenings/nights) when I can’t really go to bed at the set hour. And the next day I am completely messed up.

[Mental health] Self-Coaching: Are you your bestfriend?

I found myself so often in situations where I was not at all happy with where I was – either from a personal or professional point of view. I also noticed that I was beating myself up for mistakes that I couldn’t even prevent, or for losing my temper in a high-stake situation. In the busyness of our daily routines, we often neglect to take a moment to connect with the most important person in our lives: ourselves. Self-coaching is a valuable tool that not only helps us handle life’s challenges but also nurtures a deep and meaningful relationship with ourselves. Here’s how you can begin this transformative journey. What is Self-Coaching? Self-coaching involves guiding yourself through life’s ups and downs by accessing your inner wisdom and strength. It’s about becoming your own mentor, setting goals, and holding yourself accountable. Think of it as having a personal coach who knows you better than anyone else – because it’s you! The Benefits of Self-Coaching Self-Awareness : S...
