1. Mental Clarity: During fasting your body has had a chance to rid itself from toxins, making it easier to think. Additionally, the energy your body normally uses to digest food is available to be used by the brain.
2. Self Awareness: During fasting your body is deprived of food and drink, you are more likely to be more empathetic and compassionate toward others. This profound sensitivity helps to build stronger relationships with colleagues and clients, leading to a more positive work environment.
3. Beat The Afternoon Crash: Instead of starting your day with a sugary drink and starchy carb, then having an afternoon crash. You begin fueling your body right before the normal crashing point, giving your body that extra energy boost to make it through the mid-day slump.
4. Delayed Gratification: Fasting is an all-day exercise in delayed gratification. Often in the business world, there is a lot of waiting involved. We spend hours/days/weeks preparing proposals for our clients, sometimes to not get a response from the client, or have to wait on signatures or another policy to expire. The art of fasting will teach you the beauty in delayed gratification. That way when the client finally signs that paper work and the deal is done. You are focused on the view from the top of the mountain, not the climb to get there.
5. Discipline & Emotional Regulation: Fasting provides you with the opportunity to strengthen neural pathways associated with emotional regulation and discipline at work. If you think of your brain as a muscle you can exercise, you are taking your brain to the gym during fasting.
So start small, try only drinking black coffee until 9AM, then 10AM until you are finally at 11AM. Try this for 2 weeks and come back and tell me how you feel! #BenefitsOfFasting#Fasting
