Arianna Huffington: Daily Routine

After collapsing from exhaustion in 2007, Arianna Huffington rebuilt her life—and routine—around rest, rituals, and resilience.

Habits, routines and rituals tend to form gradually. With day to day repetitions, new behaviours become daily processes. For Arianna Huffington, however, it was a little more jarring and instantenous than most people.

On 6 April 2007, the Huffington Post co-founder woke up in a pool of blood, after collapsing from sleep deprivation and exhaustion. It was from that point on that Huffington made a drastic change to her lifestyle, “for me, that day literally changed my life. It put me on a course in which I changed how I work and how I live,” and led to the launch of Thrive Global.
