Positive energy, clear thinking, easy thinking. There's not a lot of clutter in my life and everything that I do, then the gym, of course, is interesting. Great habit if you can exercise regularly. —John Wagner-Stafford
Importance of Healthy Habits
Embracing healthy habits is fundamental for creative individuals who want to maximize their potential. A well-balanced lifestyle includes a morning mindfulness and gratitude focus, a nutritious diet, ample sleep, and regular exercise. This not only fuels the body but also cultivates a mindset that is primed for creativity. By maintaining discipline in their daily routine, creative professionals can optimize their productivity while nurturing their overall wellbeing. Boni Wagner-Stafford emphasizes the significance of self-care, specifically by avoiding sugar, artificial sweeteners, and processed foods. Instead, she advocates consuming abundant vegetables and portion control. Adopting these habits has not only given her more energy and focus but has also created a strong foundation for her creative endeavours.
"I always was putting the things I wanted to do, including my own health-focused self-care, last, and it showed. I was quite miserable. I just don't have that feeling anymore." — Boni Wagner-Stafford
