We’ve all been there: crushing it at
the gym while surviving on four hours
of sleep and spite. (Spoiler: your body

are two of the biggest predictors of
emotional resilience, which explains
why that 3pm meltdown coincided
perfectly with your third co昀昀ee.
Movement releases endorphins that
elevate creativity and mood. Taking
time to rest is an act of productivity.
Your nervous system needs recovery
to perform, which means don’t feel
guilty about taking that nap.

whole. Or at least hydrated. We’ll
take what we can get.
