Synchronise your activities with the Circadian Rhythm, the 24 hours cycle.
- Be Active, Eat during day time
- Rest, Recover and Sleep during nighttime.
🌱 Don’t worry so much on the HOW-MUCH
- Forget to counting calories and ratios of macronutrients (carbs, proteins or lipids).
- Focus on what’s essential not what you can measure.
- Eat slowly, Enjoy your meal and simply avoid over-eating.

- When you rest or sleep, you start the recovery process. Your body gets time to repair, regenerate and adapt.
- Train, Rest, Recover and Repeat. This process allows you to train better.

- You are what you DO daily, including what/when and how much you sleep, eat and move.
- Each day is a new life. Enjoy it. Make the best out of it.
- Adaptation happens when you Rest. Quality Sleep is the number one priority in Self-Care.
