Saturday/Day 1

Saturday/Day 1

  • Add vegetables to your meals.
  • Take a water bottle with you.(proper hydration helps to improve mood)
  • Stick to one glass. Alcohol disrupts your sleeping pattern and can leave you struggling to fall back asleep in the middle of the night. A glass (or two for men) is all right.
  • Take the weekend completely off. Dont check your email.
  • Hit the gym. Try walking , a gentle bike ride, or yoga for low-intensity exercise.
  • Clean your bedroom. A messy room can leave you feeling stressed and anxious. Dust can reduce your sleep quality and cause headaches, congestion, and itchy eyes. Vaccum & wash biweekly.
