Health is full of principles. These are guidelines that help shape your behaviors.
The catch is that principles are only valuable when they are practiced.
"To do your best you need your rest" is only helpful when you practice priming your environment for better rest.
"Community is the greatest dose of accountability" only works if you practice spending (majority of your) time with people who help you become more like Christ.
"Ruthlessly eliminate hurry" only bears fruit whenever you practice disconnecting from work and technology.
Spend more time practicing.
