Werk Atleet

Work like an athlete

"From now on all of you are top athletes!"

Working is top class sports

First of all, many thanks for your enthusiasm and energy during the session! Now it’s time to get started with approaching your day like an athlete does: start with a proper warm-up, play Champions League level during your matchday and finish off with a relaxing cool-down. We want you to be able to deliver the best performances within your job while maintaining a fit body and strong mind.
We challenge you to pick one thing from the masterclass and start optimizing your day. 

Pick the low hanging fruit and be gentle.

You rock! 

Pick a challenge & go for it

We finished the session with writing down a challenge. Do you still remember yours? Write it down on a small piece of paper and hang it on your refrigerator. This helps to program your new habit into your brain.
Because from NOW on you are going to rock your personal challenge. And remember: it takes time to form new habits. Research shows us that creating a new habit can take up from 22 to 66 days.

Are you ready?

Give yourself this time and hang in there!

“You’ll never know what you’re capable of until you take that first step and just go for it.”

What else is there to do?

GIVE YOUR BRAIN THE CHANCE TO PRODUCE MELATONIN

Towards the evening, when it gets darker outside, your brain naturally starts producing melatonin to give every cell in your body the signal to wind down, because the night is coming. This makes melatonin essential for a good night of rest. Registrating darkness with your eyes is required in order to produce melatonin. Therefore you should aim to avoid all (bright) artificial lightning after sunset. Try to replace these bright artificial lightning sources with warmer toned sources –  f.e. candles and salt lamps – and avoid screens like your smartphone and the television in the last 1-2 hours prior to bedtime. 

BREATHWORK TO RELAX

Like you have experienced during the masterclass, your breath is the key to your autonomic nervous system. With a deeper and slower breath you are able to bring yourself to a more relaxed state, known as the parasympathetic side (relax mode) of the autonomic nervous system. 

My personal favorite is the Box Breathing Method, which you can try below.
Enjoy breathing!
