Optimize your fundamentals:
- Body – how well do you eat, sleep, and exercise?
- Brain – how well are your learning, reflecting and keeping mentally well?
- Spirit – how fired up and committed are you to something purposeful that is bigger than you?
- Heart – how’s your love life? Your relationships with friends, family and only fans. (Just kidding. If you read this let us know @thenotsobreakfastshow, and we’ll send you something from the prize cupboard!)
