Not only do you relax and listen to music or interesting podcasts, you also give to your personal health and well-being.

For me it works in a different way. No matter how tired I am at the end of the day, the feeling of well-being that I get after finishing my 5K running session is just awesome! When I get home, I just channel that energy and motivation into finishing my working chores, be it house or work related. It has become a great habit!
