What “Optimal” Health Is Really Costing You — The Hidden Price Nobody Talks About

What “Optimal” Health Is Really Costing You — The Hidden Price Nobody Talks About

Think of stress management and recovery as a thing you do in proportion to the stress and demands of your life.

We often use the analogy of a jug: When stress drains your tank, stress management and recovery practices help fill it back up again.

Image shows a faucet pouring water into a jug next to a list of recovery practices. These are things that fill your recovery jug. There is also a faucet draining water out of the jug next to a list of stressors. These are things that drain your jug. The goal is to fill your jug as much as you are draining it.
And, as with all of the foundational health habits we’ve discussed, every little bit counts.

Whether you’re experiencing a little or a lot of stress in your life, even three to five minutes of purposeful recovery—doing deep breathing exercises, some journaling or gentle stretching, or just stepping outside to get some fresh air and listen to the birds—can help fill your tank.
