You crack your knuckles for the tenth time today, the stiffness in your back mimicking the tension in your deadline. "Burnout City, here I come," you mutter, sitting at your desk, staring at the overgrown to-do list mocking your motivation. Avoid that wretched place, fellow creator and desk warrior. I get it. I used to live and breathe a world of deadlines, hunched backs, aching joints, and mental stress. Once upon a time, I was even a physiotherapist and healthcare director treating patients and personnel. Don't ignore the signs. It’s your body trying to tell you something, but it’s counterintuitive. Even writer's block can be overcome by going deeper. Bottom up! I'm talking about leveraging your body's physiology to alleviate tension and unblock your mind. This can also make you a better decision-maker and unlock opportunities, especially when you leverage physiology and mental models. Benjamin Franklin said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Here's the good news: prevention is possible. I'm not talking about quitting your passion (though a walk outside wouldn't hurt!). I'm not talking about medical advice either (if you have a medical condition, consult your physician). I'm talking about brief, impactful tweaks that fit seamlessly into your day. No need for fancy equipment, just a few quick strategies to reduce tension and boost your energy. These things are so simple yet effective. In fact, they're so simple that we tend to forget to use them. Never sacrifice your well-being for productivity. Reclaim your energy and approach your life’s work with the focus and motivation you deserve. Whether it's wellness tips or content you need, I'm here to help. Cheers, Oz P.S.
