What we’re talking about: How to maintain healthy habits and a balanced lifestyle on the weekends, avoiding the tendency to overindulge after being strict during the week.

Why it matters: Maintaining consistent healthy habits and avoiding cycles of overindulgence is crucial for Agency, as it allows individuals to remain in control, build sustainable progress, and avoid self-sabotaging behaviors that undermine their values and goals.

What actions to take:

🏃‍♂️ Incorporate recreation and enjoyable physical activities into your weekly routine, rather than treating exercise solely as training or work.

🍎 Replace processed foods and alcohol with healthier, whole food alternatives that provide a sense of relaxation and enjoyment, such as fresh fruits, smoothies, or homemade treats.

🎨 Diversify your identity and reduce stress by exploring new hobbies and activities that engage different types of intelligence, such as mechanical, cognitive, social, or physical pursuits.
