Business Tip of the Week:

Self Care is key to success

"America is in the midst of a stress epidemic", states John Hall, a Forbes Contributor who specializes in helping companies grow and learn. Consistent exercise minimizes insulin resistance, inflammation, and stimulates "life-giving" factors in the body thus helping you to think and remember more clearly. "If you’re sleep-deprived, your decision-making abilities, focus, memory, and motivation will all take a hit", he says. “People that look after themselves [and practice self-care] do have better cognitive ability. They do have better focus and they do have better concentration,” Dr. Russell Thackeray, a licensed clinical psychologist who consults on the topic of productivity. “They tend to actually produce more.”

Hall, John. "Self-Care Isn’t Just Good For You—It’s Also Good For Your Productivity ". (5 Jan. 2020) [online]. Forbes.com. Available at: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnhall/2020/01/05/self-care-isnt-just-good-for-you-its-also-good-for-your-productivity/#57e8e6d519ff [Accessed 9, Jan. 2020].
