This is the third video in a new service we are piloting for you, our viewers and community at the Library of Professional Coaching. Please take a look and comment below with your thoughts about:
Summary:
- Exercise is the most effective pathway to high quality sleep.
- Exercise is elusive due to old habits, lack of time, cost, lack of enjoyment
- Impact: Exercise reinforces the circadian cycle, triggers long-term stress-reduction, enhances the desire to sleep at night.
Actions:
- Recreation: Exercise re-creates enjoyment: playing a sport, walking or doing something else that is inherently enjoyable.
- Avocation and Vocation: movement achieves outcomes (gardening or walking dogs) or as part of a regular physically demanding job.
