Don’t take yourself too seriously
We learned from Simone Biles that having the occasional laugh can be a very healthy habit. Unlike other competitors, Biles adopts a more relaxed manner and giggle before a match.
During the 2015 World Championships in Glasgow, she asked for some downtime for her and her colleagues, just to relax for a while. One of the things we can learn from her is not to take ourselves too seriously.
A life based only on work and no play can wreak havoc on our productivity. So whether you take a break to have a walk in the park or you spend 15 minutes reading a book, you should allow your mind to rest for a while from time to time.
