Lessons from Ann-Sofie Forsmark: Create Your Own Health

At Sprintcrowd, we believe that health isn’t just about hitting the gym or avoiding illness – it’s about thriving. 

Ann-Sofie Forsmark, health strategist and co-founder of Oxy Group, has shared timeless insights that can help you redefine your approach to well-being. Here’s how to create a healthier, more sustainable life, based on her philosophy.

Health – It’s More Than Just the Absence of Disease: We often think of health as simply not being sick, but it’s so much more. True health includes physical, mental, and social well-being. If you’re only focusing on your physical health, you’re leaving out two-thirds of the equation. Take time to nurture all aspects of your well-being, so you can perform at your best in every area of life.

Health as a Resource: Health isn’t just something you “have” or “don’t have”—it’s a resource you cultivate. Your health fuels your resilience, builds relationships, and keeps you strong for the long run. Think of it like charging your phone. You don’t wait until it’s dead to plug it in, right? It’s the same with your health. Regular care is essential.

The Challenge of Healthy Habits: Let’s face it—healthy habits don’t always feel fun in the moment. But the things that benefit us in the long-term are often the hardest to start. That’s why creating habits is key. Automating the behaviors that support your health means less decision fatigue and more consistency. And over time, it gets easier to make choices that align with your well-being.

Stop Seeking Work-Life Balance – Integrate Work Into Life: Forget about the elusive “work-life balance.” It’s not about finding some perfect split between the two—it’s about realizing there’s just life, and work is a part of it. The goal? To create a seamless integration where work fuels your life, rather than drains it. Find boundaries that protect your personal time, but allow for flexibility and flow between work and life.

Values – The Compass for Your Health: Your values are your guideposts. They shape how you spend your time, make decisions, and prioritize what matters. Reflect on what’s important to you—both at work and in your personal life. When you align your actions with your values, you’ll find a more natural balance between your professional goals and personal well-being.
