SLEEP SEVEN 
HOURS
The benefits of regular restful sleep cannot be 
overstated. Scoring a decent amount—according 
to the National Sleep Foundation, anywhere from 
seven to nine hours—can keep your brain sharp, 
your mood buoyant, and your energy level sky-
high.

EXERCISE JUST

any extra work: just eat your veggies raw.

MEDITATE
Meditation has outsize benefits on your health. It's 
been shown to reduce blood pressure, dial back your 
anxiety, and, according to research in JAMA Internal 
Medicine, even help you sleep more soundly (which, 
if you'll recall, is among the best steps you can take 
for feeling better during your day-to-day). Best of all, 
meditation only takes 10 minutes per day.

GET SOME 
FRESH AIR
According to a five-study report in the Journal of 
Environmental Psychology, spending time 
outdoors (even just brief spurts) is directly 
"associated with greater vitality." In other words, 
a taste of fresh air will grant you energy needed 
to get through your days with vim and vigor.

DOUBLE YOUR 
WATER INTAKE
To be sure you're drinking enough, follow this 
method. Get yourself a 32-ounce water bottle. Fill 
it once in the morning. When noon rolls around, if 
it's not empty, chug it, then refill.

SLASH YOUR 
FOOD INTAKE

EAT 
BREAKFAST
Starting your day with protein can give you a 
mood-amplifying energy boost through lunch. 
And if you get a good helping of fiber (you'll find 
that in steel-cut oats), it's a good bet you'll stay 
full until lunch, too, meaning you'll be less 
tempted to snack.

KICKSTART YOUR 
MORNING WITH 
LEMON WATER
Start every morning with a glass of water with 
fresh-squeezed lemon or lemon oil. This gives 
you more energy, fights off inflammation, and 
provides you with an all-natural health boost 
that’s easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

MEAL PREP YOUR 
WAY TO HEALTHY 
LUNCHES
When the weekdays get overwhelmingly busy, 
we’re often left to poor choices for lunch like fast 
food restaurants or whatever’s closest to the 
office.
Avoid that debacle by meal-prepping ahead of 
time.
