As a ‘Modern’ A-Type: you are a doer, manifesting-generator, busy body, and fully aware of your nature and know that you’re only as good as the QUALITY of your energy (not quantity). Hence why I’m always protective of it, and seek novel ways to recharge. Here are activities that have been surprisingly “productive” + balancing that I feel could help you too.
1. 10 minute Sunrise and/or Sunset Meditation
(sleep/wake cycle syncing and setting)
2. Cupping
(passive hands-free physical therapy)
3. Nature bathing mindfulness practice
(focus on isolating your 5 senses one at a time)
4. High nutrient dense Wraps & Kimchi
(efficient and gut healthy)
5. Supporting (other A-type) friends
(giving is receiving rule)
6. Taking care of your key belongings
(because without them, your life would be more annoying)
7. Surround yourself with other modern A-types who want to grow better together
(men’s groups really help me focus, tune up, and hone my energy)
8. Being a B-type (in disguise): follower vs leader, passenger seat, participACTION, knowing you could full on lead, but realize you can conserve your energy while deriving the benefits of the activity.
9. Do arts and crafts at night
(switch off work brain and switch on creative brain, avoids Netflix and zombie mode, better for brain health and sleep)
10. Quality Time with people in another generation
(nephew time has been extremely refreshing and energizing)
Cuteness overload!
Hope these high performance wellness activities spark ways in which you can still be your high achieving self while not burning out! The modern way of the A-Type is evolving into quality before quantity energy expenditure, in all aspects of life, not just work.
