Most of us run around life like we're mice being chased by a big ass cat. We get up, shower, go to work, go here, eat there, scramble for a parking spot at the gym, go home, do the dishes, wash the laundry, watch TV, and then try to go to sleep.

And then can't fall asleep.

Or we do sleep, but we're more tired when we wake up than when we went to sleep the night before.

All of this nonsense is avoidable and it's killing your progress.

My good friend, Margaret, teaches people how to relax. She left the rat race of the corporate world and started doing what matters: Helping people.

She's agreed to do a guest post here. But she doesn't know what to write about, since we're all kind of gym rats and she's not. But there is one commonality between us and her: We all perform better when we rest, relax, and recover.

So, I have a question for you: What would you like Margaret to write about?

Use the Comments section (down there) to leave your question. She'll pick one and write about it.
