I am quite soft and sensitive and caring, and they don't expect that.”"I feel like probably the biggest metric that has been helping me is learning how much stress the body is absorbing, even when you're not working out. Whether its a stressful job, or you're thinking and ruminating on something, the body is taking that almost as workout stress.""Real diligent self-care. We used to think that that was reserved for Olympians and world champions–athletes have been doing this stuff for a while. Now it's accessible to everybody. And people are realizing, oh, if I treat myself like world champion, I'm going to perform like a world champion in whatever arena I'm in. And it feels great to feel good, doesn't it?""Astronauts do the same thing. They go through the routine of knowing what's going to happen so that when something unexpected happens, you fall back on what you know, and you don't have to be an astronaut or someone riding your bike in Alaska to take that kind of training to everyday life."Connect with Rebecca Rusch:- Website- Instagram- LinkedIn- Rush AcademyFull TranscriptSay hi to the AGEIST team!
