those which are important to you at a core level, you will perform
better and be less stressed.
•
This is most important than to aligning who you are with what you do
and how you do it and spending your time on pursuits that have
meaning to you.
e.
Pursue your Passion

engaged, and create a power-house of enthusiasm and inspiration for
those around you.

ii. Allow your subconscious to work on a problem while you’re
focused on something else that you really enjoy
iii. Create connection and camaraderie with others
iv. Provide a productive outlet for excess energy or stress
v. Improve your memory and your mental, emotional and
physical health
