How Do You Do Recovery If Your Job Doesn’t Allow Breaks?

• Advocate for your recovery needs in the work place
• Practical strategies:

  - Prioritize breakfast before work

  - Use portable, quick, high energy snacks

  - Liquid nutrition 

  - Open up available windows of opportunity 

  - Eat during micro-moments
