Hi there, James Taylor, keynote speaker and founder of the
SpeakersU. Today I want to talk to you about how to stay healthy on
the road. As a professional speaker, your professional speaking one
of the things that we have to do with professional speaking is
we're doing a lot of long haul flights. That's resulting sometimes
in jet lag. And often the food options that we have on planes and
at hotels and venues is not that good for a lot of fried food. So
how do we ensure that we stay healthy, and we can have a very long
term sustainable career as a speaker, I asked this question the
other day to Dr. Joyce Carols. She is a speaker who works with a
lot of high performance athletes, for example, and she shared with
me her triple seven rule. And it stands for this first of all, try
and get seven glasses of water per day into your system. When
you're traveling, especially long haul flights, it can be very
dehydrating on your system. And as a result, when you get there up
on stage, you find yourself a bit dry a little bit croaky also is
not good for your skin and your general health. So if you do have
enough walk in the system. So try and hydrate all the time we would
travel around with a bottle that you're filling up all the time and
try and get the seven glasses of water per day. Secondly, you want
to try and ensure you get seven hours of sleep per day. This can be
challenging when you're doing maybe multiple flights and stopovers
and you're there's danger of getting jet lag as part of that as
well. So something you can do here is when you get on a plane if
you especially if you're going for a long haul flight, you might
decide to maybe Miss meals on and just tell the stewardess
stewardess, hey, I'm a good I want to sleep on this flight. Just
please don't interrupt me on this flight. And that allows you to
get some better sleep over the course of the flight. Obviously,
don't drink caffeine, alcohol on flights as well that will help you
often sleep at the same time. There's other tools we can use things
like smart watches, which tell us how many hours of sleep but the
quality of our sleep that we're getting. And there's there's apps
for our phone we can get like time shifter, which allow us to get
ready especially for the long haul flights, but always be very good
at being able to steal sleep. So if you've got an opportunity there
for to get 30 minutes sleep or an hour sleep, train take especially
when you're on the road. And then the final seven is ensuring that
you do seven minutes of intense exercise every day for seven
minutes doesn't sound like a lot. But that's the intensity that's
really important and is great tools being able to do there's lots
of online apps you for your phone, which do like seven minutes,
workout style apps, and they can just take you through some very
simple exercise. You don't need any weights or anything complicated
to be able to do even do it in your hotel room. And a useful rule
of thumb here is it when you go and check into your hotel.
Immediately you drop your bags, put on your workout stuff, go and
do that seven minutes either in your hotel room, in the gym at the
hotel even go out for a run. That triple seven rule is a really
good way of remembering how to keep yourself healthy, and how to
build a sustainable career as a speaker. My name is James Taylor.
Thanks for watching.
