Are you busy and tired? Odds are, "YES!". Even if you don't work a 60+ hour week and feel that your energy is "okay", I imagine you would love to have more energy, get better sleep, get sick less and generally feel better. In this podcast, I share the strategies and rituals that allowed me to work a 60 hour work week and maintain my health and sanity by optimizing my body's ability to recover.   Get the workbook to develop your own strategies like how to build a sound sleep routine, how to better manage your time and energy and what else you can do to feel amazing when you wake up and at 2:00 in the afternoon.   Free RECOVERY E-Book:

Exercise immediately makes you less healthy and damages the body. It is the body's response and adaption to the exercise that improves strength, endurance and your health! But, the improvement part of working out, like life, can only happen if we create the right environment and circumstances for this growth, adaptation and recovery to occur. The Work Hard, Play Hard mindset sabotages this. This week we discuss how changing your mindset to focus more on rest and recovery can help you reach your goals faster without being so tired all the time.   FREE RECOVERY Curriculum E-Book in the show notes: http://dralexritza.com/better-ever-after-podcast/

In this podcast, I talk about my own struggle with this issue and the tricks and mindset that I have used to make “failures” more enjoyable and find greater self-compassion.   Show-notes: http://dralexritza.com/better-ever-after-podcast/
