Can Good Health Make You Productive?
By Genevieve Cunningham
We all know that being healthy is a good idea. We know it because doctors and researchers and scientists tell us so, and we also know it because we feel it in our own bodies. We know that being sick makes us feel worn down, exhausted, and overall poor. We also know that being well leads to us feeling energetic and happier. But what many don't realize is that being well may also lead to higher productivity. And who, in our world, does not have the desire to get more done? We all do! If you want to feel better and accomplish more, take a look at how focusing on health might help you do both.
Good Health Helps You Focus
When we are healthy as a whole, our minds don't have to worry so much about what else is happening in our bodies -- whether consciously or subconsciously. This makes more energy available for focus. And with more focus comes more productivity. If you lack productivity because you can't pay attention, improving your health may solve this problem for you.
Good Health Helps Body Function
The healthier our bodies are, the better they function. The better each system works together to create harmony within the body. And a harmonious body creates space for creation, healing, and productivity. When your digestion won't function normally, you don't have the head space to worry over deadlines. When you can't shake a headache, you can kiss those big long work sessions goodbye. Efficient body function can lead to efficiency in everything else -- productivity included.
Good Health Helps You Feel Good
Let's not underestimate the power of feeling good. When we feel good in our own skin, we want to get more done. We feel more motivated and stronger in everyday life. And when we feel good from the inside out, a higher level of productivity -- in multiple areas of life -- is a natural result.
As a society, we value productivity. But maybe if we would value health first, the productivity would come naturally -- and in a much healthier manner. Eat well, get enough sleep, exercise, and watch out for your own health. In doing so, you may find that you feel better and are more successful than ever before.
