Hey there, my fellow fitness seekers!

I’d like you to take this moment to welcome yourself to the world of health. Just pat yourself on the back. Yes, go ahead! If you can’t reach — I understand, my back flexibility isn’t too great either, thanks to my love affair with the recliner. This is all part of our journey, my friend, the journey from feeling burned-out to becoming spiritedly energized!

Have you ever heard about the situation in the Gaza Strip? No, I’m not talking about political unrest, but a battle of a different kind—against famine. UN agencies recently heralded news that famine had been pushed back in the region. However, they also stressed the fragile nature of these gains, highlighting the need for sustained support to prevent a reversal.

It may seem far-fetched to draw a parallel between the Gaza Strip and your health journey, but stick with me here. Like the UN agencies, we need to recognize our small victories over unhealthy habits and strive to reinforce these gains with sustained effort. Early warning signs of a lifestyle heading towards burnout can be as evident as famine signs, provided we know where to look. And guess what? We have just the right tools to help us spot these signs early.

Can’t seem to get yourself out of bed in the morning? Or maybe you’ve been snuggling up with Ben & Jerry’s more often than you’d like to admit? Or perhaps, your bathroom scale has started to scream at you? These are all signs worth paying attention to. Here’s the good news, with some determination, a sprinkle of humor, and a heaping scoop of data, you can turn these signs around, much like the people of Gaza.

Recent studies show that 60% of people who feel burned out do not get enough sleep. If you’re starting to feel like a grouchy old bear who missed his winter nap, it’s high time we tackle this problem. And no, the solution isn’t hibernating all winter, tempting as it sounds.
