Digestion starts in the mouth. In the yogic tradition there is an advice to chew 24 times before swallowing. A major reason is that pre-digested food will cause less dullness in the system.

According to yoga, the most bioavailable foods are genetically simple foods, such as plants, eaten close to their raw, live form. Cooked food is best eaten within 1.5 hours of cooking, as it's observed that as cooked food sits longer, it generates more lethargy when eaten.

Do you feel heavy, light, alert, or tired after eating? If you pay attention, you probably already know whether food on your plate will energize or deplete you. If you become tired, heavy, or foggy after food, try cutting out the culprits to see if you feel better after eating.

To act effectively, it's also important to rest effectively.

Sadhguru says the body needs restfulness, not sleep. If you bring restfulness and ease to the system, "once it is well-rested, it is eager to come to life."

@san_jabbour If you like what you're doing:
"Do whatever the hell you want, but do it well."

Don't like what you're doing:
"Look clearly and deeply – beyond all compulsions of your body and mind – what it is that you really want to do, and just do it."
