Have you noticed the shift in lifestyle? It's cool to be health-conscious and active! If you aren't on the health and fitness buzz, it's time to take the leap. It has a huge impact on all aspects of  your life, both personal and professional...but that is a story for another day :) 

Let's get to the point today...

1 Sleep

Are you getting enough sleep? If not, you may need to assess your bedtime routine. Avoid large meals, sugary foods, coffee and alcohol late at night. These will disrupt your sleep cycle.

2 Diet

How is your diet? Make sure to avoid unhealthy foods and drinks. Focus on eating healthily throughout the day – working in a reasonable amount of vegetables, fruit and water.

3 Exercise

Are you getting enough exercise? You should be exercising three to five times a week and each bout should be a bit harder than the last.

4 Breaks

Do you take enough breaks daily, weekly, monthly and annually? Getting away from your work and recharging physically and mentally will give you more energy that will help you be more productive.

5 Hobbies

And finally, do you have hobbies away from work? Activities that allow you to go to a different place physically and mentally can help boost your energy levels.
