The first of the 8 Ingredients of well-being is SLEEP! When u get a good night’s sleep, u have more energy and it’s easier to focus. If you’re tired, u may be grumpy, have trouble paying attention, forget things, and have more anxiety. How do u feel when u don’t get enough sleep?

The 3rd Ingredient of the Wellness Report, is SITTING. 🪑 We sit a lot during the day; at our desks, on our couch, while we’re eating, while driving and when we’re hanging out with friends. 🛋 How long do you sit before you take a break? Comment below 👇 https://t.co/jQrMRBn2h9
