Action Steps:

Do something! Whether you’re thinking of making significant lifestyle changes, picking up a fitness routine, hiring a coach to help you out in any aspect of health or wellbeing, just do something. Don’t just sit on the motivation or sit on the money for now.
Look into what you can do to improve the amount and quality of your sleep.
Consider having a news ban.
Look to small things that you can start doing to get more energy.
If you want to change your body composition, look to build more muscle and do things for fat burning.
Support your digestive health by bringing in more prebiotics and probiotics and getting a gut test.
Prioritize your mental health and recovery.

Leanne said:

“The sleep that you’re not getting at the moment, the way that your mental health is suffering, the way perhaps your physical health is suffering could be taking years of your useful life, what we call health span, late down the line.”

“Take action now! Some people could be motivated by the impact that they’re going to see tonight or tomorrow or next week or next month or in the mirror... Others are more motivated by knowing they’re doing the right thing further down the line.”
