They say a healthy body props up a healthy mind—simple, but some still overthink it. Years back, someone smarter than me laid out five things that keep the head on straight. I’ve half-forgotten them, but they still make sense when I dust ‘em off. Not here to preach—just chewing on what keeps us ticking.
Sleep’s the big one—without it, we’re cranky mutts, brains all fuzz. Then exercise—nothing fancy, just moving enough to shake the rust off. Social life’s next—talking to real people, not just screens, keeps us from turning hermit. Nutrition’s in there—eating decent stuff, not raiding the fridge past 8 p.m. (Jason Statham’s onto something). Last, taking time out—leaving the house and walking the dog to let your head settle.
No business world’s gonna sell you these—they’re quiet, basic, easy to skip. I forget ‘em myself till I’m out of sorts. What’s the one you lean on when your thoughts are too loud? Oh, yeah. I forgot music. A decent track fills the headphones, drowns out the thoughts, and gets the tail wagging.
