Activities that high-performers go for to reach new levels
High performers are not couch potatoes. They know that their body and mind need movement to be able to perform at a high level.
But they do not only focus on sport and fitness activities.
They employ active recovery practices to enable the parasympathetic nervous system to perform the maintenance processes,
The most effective active recovery practices:
sleep
hot therapy - hot baths with essential oils or salts, sauna, steam bath
cold therapy - cold shower, cryotherapy, ice baths
sensory depriving tanks (floatation or isolation tanks)
nature immersion
massage, myofascial release practice
yoga, Nidra yoga
stretching
high focus sports - tai chi, archery, golf, climbing
breathwork
meditation and mindfulness
laughing
Which ones could you do more of immediately?

High flow activity for me and all those who practice with me.
