  • Make breakfast and movement a priority
    • Starting your day off with a nutritious meal and some type of movement helps to set the tone for the rest of your day. Rather than pouring yourself another cup of coffee, get in some nutritious to give you the energy you need to get through the day. Additionally, when you start your day on a healthy note, you tend to make better decisions throughout the day. 
  • Take a lunch break daily
    • Take a step away from your desk or your work for 30 minutes during your lunch time. This will set you up for a productive second half of your day by taking 30 minutes to yourself to refocus and prepare for the rest of your day. 
  • Make the gym after work a priority
    • Prepare your gym bag the night before and take it with you so you don't have to go home before the gym. Going directly from work to the gym will avoid you going home and having to answer to family or changing your mind and choosing the couch over the gym.
  • Use meal prep to beat the dinner rush
    • To avoid being stressed at dinner time and resorting to getting take-out, do a little meal prep on the weekend to have healthy options ready to go for dinner time. 
  • Create a nightly routine
    • In order to get the best night sleep, try to go to bed the same time every night and do your best to avoid technology for 30 minutes before bed. Try drinking a hot cup of tea or reading a book instead of scrolling your phone or watching TV.
