Saturday Late Night Talk- Why You Must Recharge


Listen Later

Recharging your mind, body, spirit and soul is essential if you want to become successful.


If we're constantly in hustle mode then we will burn out. Just like a car that needs to be refuelled, our body needs to be revitalize also.

Goals are important but we also have to take care of our mental being. In this episode I share with you how I recharge and why you must recharge.

Stay focus and stay limitless.

What happens when you don’t charge your cell phone? You turn down the screen brightness, try not to check your texts, and count down the moments until your phone shuts off altogether. While as humans we don’t have the ability to send emails from our brains, we do function similarly to cell phones in that we require energy to perform tasks. And just like your phone, when we’re not fully charged, we don’t perform as well.

What we mean by “recharging” can look differently depending on your life, but essentially it means self-care and rest. It’s not something you do just on vacation, either; you should be taking time out throughout every day to recharge. But we as humans  are terrible at recharging—we work harder, take fewer vacations, retire later, and have fewer days off than any other industrialized country. Here’s proof that you should be taking time out of your day to rest and refresh:

1. It reduces stress

You’re a lovely person, but that friendliness is diminished when you’re stressed, right? That’s because stress can mute positive traits, and that can have an impact on your interpersonal relationships as well as your coping mechanisms. When you step away from the stress by meditating, taking a walk, or finding some other way to relax, you allow your positive traits to shine.

2. It increases creativity

On a typical day, you’ve got so many things on your mind that there really isn’t space for your creativity to flourish. By resting and recharging, you allow your creativity a chance to take up space again.

3. You’ll feel better

The stress hormone cortisol makes you feel panicked and on edge, but when you relax, you’ll give your “feel-good” hormones a chance to be released. Your mood will feel elevated and you’ll be more prepared to take on the day.

4. It might help you live longer

Studies have shown stress contributes to the top causes of death, so when you take the time to recharge and reduce your stress, you’re helping yourself physically. That could mean avoiding some fatal health issues.

5. It can strengthen your immune system

Relaxation helps your body repair itself, and that means your immune system benefits. Remember when finals rolled around in college? How did you feel? Chances are, your friends all caught colds and you felt terrible. That’s because stress weakens the immune system. Recharging regularly can help keep you well.
