55. Energy Thieves & Managing Energy with Supplements, Diet, & Exercise

In this episode, we're working on our element of Resilience and exploring the second Root of Resilience known as managing energy. The Roots of Resilience were laid out in one of Dr. Emmons book, "The Chemistry of Calm." We'll work through this foundational aspect of resilience, focusing on how we can keep our resilience tank more full by returning to our natural rhythms of rest and activity to help us feel more refreshed, engaged, and connected. We'll also learn about some "energy thieves" and how you can overcome those thieves to reclaim your natural energy cycles.
