It’s easier for us to focus on the active parts of our fitness journey like working out, eating healthy, and drinking enough water. All things that we can control in our awake state, but what about the crucial inactive state where so many essential functions are restored.

This episode’s challenge is to create a list of the great habits you’re already doing that promote quality sleep and on the other side of the paper write down habits that need your attention because they are preventing you from getting quality sleep. Once you have your list, pick one habit from your “needs attention” side and focus on mastering it.   Follow me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitnessmanifest   Produced by Catherine Wong & Teresa Cedeno Edited by  Catherine Wong
