Being a developer is not a very healthy profession - long hours of sitting or standing in front of a computer doesn't promote good health. In this lesson, we will cover: My Story Treat Your Body As Your Child Techniques Of Staying Healthy What To Do If You're Too Busy Master Action My Story Just a few years ago I had problems with my health. When working, something would pop inside of my head and I'd feel like I'm not here anymore. It felt like my brain dumped down all the blood. For a few minutes, I'd just lie down on the table, praying for it to finish soon. Sometimes it would happen during meetings - can you imagine how uncomfortable and scary it felt? Nowadays, I'm the healthiest version of myself I've ever been. How did I achieve that? Treat Your Body As Your Child I started treating my body as my child. What does your child need to feel good? Unconditional love. Unconditional love means listening and responding to every need of your body. Now before you say: "oh I knew that..." - WAIT! I'm not sure if you understood it correctly. Let's say you realize your mind is not working well. You feel you should stop working and go to the gym. So you decide you'll do it in the evening. Sounds like a good plan, but what's wrong with that? Your body wants to go to the gym now, and not after 5 hours! Your body already made a plan to do some exercise, recharge the brain battery and get ready for powerful productivity again. But the plan is waiting for execution right now! And you already know that! If you wait for 5 hours, your body is already fed up with your careless behaviour. As a revenge, that day it will stop doing what you want. And you'll become even more irritated. You will feel tired as hell, but you will know you're not actually tired. It's just your body playing its revenge game on you. Do you remember how lovingly your parents treated you when you were a child? Actually, they didn't treat you. They treated your body. Now you're an adult. Now it's your responsibility to treat your body with love. Because it still needs that. If you use force with your body - you will always lose. How can you win a battle against yourself? If you put unease in your body, it will produce you disease. So better treat it like your child. Now let's discuss some of the techniques for staying healthy. Keep in mind they won't do any favour for you if you don't listen to your body.
