Middleish: Episode 68 - Doing it all

Productivity, that's the name of the game these days. You can rest when you're dead. If you don't do it, who will? We're betting several of our high-achieving, go-getter listeners can relate to this one! It's common to think that if we relax or set boundaries around our time we won't get as much accomplished. Perhaps we're afraid we'll let someone down or won't live up to expectations. There's a constant urgency to tackle the next thing on the to-do list, even if your body and brain are telling you to just stop already! If any of this resonates, this episode is for you. It is for all of us (your hosts included) who get wrapped up in do, do, do and lose sight of the value in rest, self-care and simply being in the moment. Erin Green is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, recovering professional triathlete and owner of Erin Green Racing and Nutrition in Boise, Idaho. After years of regimented training, she is rediscovering the joy of spontaneous movement, social runs and exploring unpaved bike routes. Check out her blog and videos at www.eringreenracing.com. Michael Gray is a personal trainer, nutritional coach, father of two and a sucker for a bag of gummy bears. See what he's up to at www.michaelgrayfitness.com. Let us know you like what you hear! Small donations from our listeners help to support Michael's gummy bear habit or go toward a new houseplant that will inevitably die under Erin's care. We appreciate all of our Middleish listeners!
