five pillars of health and performance

Sleep/Rest

Our ability to perform mentally and physically depends upon sleep. Most adults require 7-8 hours of sleep each night for optimal performance. Rest, which is separate from sleep, is also crucial. Consider listening to Dr. Matt Walker discuss sleep in his TED Talk. And, here is an article by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith to consider reading regarding the seven types of rest. The 7 types of rest that every person needs | (ted.com)

Nutrition/Nutrients

Fueling the mind and body with quality nutrition, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and hydration, is of the utmost importance. Nutrition is the process of eating the right kinds of nutrients over time in order to support growth and stay healthy. Nutrition is the study of nutrients in food, how the body uses them, and the relationship between diet and health. Because people have different dietary needs, some might need more of some kind of nutrients, while others need less. So, nutrition is measured differently than nutrients are. Finding out whether someone is getting the right nutrition for their body involves examining a person’s individual needs over time. From the hydration standpoint, take your body weight and divide it in half. Whatever that number is will be the number of ounces of pure water to drink each day. Consider listening to Dr. Rupy Aujla discuss using food as medicine.

Movement/Exercise

Did you know that each human has a physical exercise that, when discovered, brings intrinsic motivation to want to perform that exercise regularly? Moving the body through a combination of resistance and cardiovascular exercises is vital. Consider listening to Dr. Wendy Suzuki discuss movement of the body and exercise.

Connection/Relationships

Building and sustaining relationships contributes to longevity and nurtures the soul. Consider listening to Molly Carroll, therapist and life coach, discuss the need for human connection.

Light

Getting sunlight in your eyes early in the day and limiting blue light in your eyes late in the day regulates the rhythms within our bodies. Red light therapy on the face and body is beneficial for rejuvenation and repair. Consider listening to Dan Pardi discuss "light’s dramatic impact on human wellness".

Can you look at someone's face and know what they're feeling? Does everyone experience happiness, sadness and anxiety the same way? What are emotions anyway? For the past 30 years, psychology professor Lisa Feldman Barrett has mapped facial expressions, scanned brains, and analyzed hundreds of physiology studies to understand what emotions really are. She shares the results of her exhaustive research and explains how we may have more control over our emotions than we think. Consider listening to her TED Talk: You aren't at the mercy of your emotions; your brain creates them.

Novelist Chimamanda Adichie confirms that our lives and our cultures are composed of many overlapping stories. Chimamanda tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding. Consider listening to her TED Talk: The danger of a single story.

Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school and she quickly realized that IQ wasn't the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled.

Career analyst Daniel Pink examines human motivation and discusses that traditional incentives and rewards aren't always as effective as leaders may think. Daniel discusses that humans have innate psychological needs for motivation, such as competence and relatedness.

Consider listening to his TED Talk: The puzzle of motivation.

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant studies "original thinkers", those who dream up new ideas and take action to put those ideas into this world. There are three unexpected habits of original thinkers, and one crucial habit is failure. The greatest original thinkers are the ones who fail the most... Consider listening to his TED Talk: The surprising habits of original thinkers.

A repair is not necessarily an apology, rather it opens one up for depth of conversation surrounding expectations, behavior, and miscommunication. Consider listening to her TED Talk: The single most important parenting strategy.
