- Keep calm!
It’s so important, it become a meme. Since we all know that stress can creep in at the most random times, it’s beneficial to have a daily calming ritual that helps you unwind in such moments (or even as a preventive measure before they happen). So, have that cup of tea or call a friend, whatever calms you down, do it!
- Hydrate often
It’s midday but feels like five o’clock- that’s fatigue. Fatigue creeps in when you’re dehydrated. To beat it, drink up water- lots of it. Make it a habit to keep a bottle of water at your desk or bag; ensure that you sip throughout the day.
- Sleep
That eight hours’ rule? Observe it! You’ll be able to make smarter choices the next day because your mind and body is fresh and alert.
- Make time for your passions
What’s life without passion? What would the world look like if we all kept to the mundane? Pretty boring and purposeless. Stop procrastinating and start doing. Whatever activity that you find fulfilling, do it. It’s fundamental to live out the joys of life for the sake of overall wellness.
