When you're young, you're protected in a lot of ways. You can go out and do silly things and you're going to bounce back the next day and be fine. But as you get older, when you do things that are, frankly, unhealthy, you feel it. But the good side of that is when you do things that are healthy, when you're eating the right food, getting sleep and exercising, you feel that really clearly. And so that that's a gift as well. So listen, listen to your body and try to be like an objective observer, because we can also take our thoughts and what we think is going on and colorize the experience. But really, really pay attention to what works in your body and try to use that source of information to guide your own health practice as well.
