How to Make Sure You Are Feeling Vital

Research Highlight: Vitality is a super skill

The statement "I enjoy vibrant, good health and high energy" separates the most successful 10% from the rest.*

What is vitality?

Vitality is both an output and an input. Those who wait for vitality to come from doctors, public services and luck will suffer. Those who fail to invest in the foundations or take the decision to be vital fall to fatigue, illness and suffering.

Only 9% of the least resilient people score vitality with ‘very often’ or ‘nearly always’.

Question: What does vitality look and feel like right now?

Caution: Be sure to rest, sleep and recover enough to revitalise
