3. Move Your Body Every Day
Exercise doesn’t have to mean long gym sessions. Even short bursts of activity can have a big impact.
- Try this: Take a 10-minute walk during lunch, stretch in the morning, or do a quick home workout.
- Why it helps: Regular movement boosts energy levels and improves mood.
4. Prioritise Sleep
Getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night is crucial for your physical and mental health.
- Make it a habit: Stick to a consistent bedtime, limit screen time before bed, and create a calming bedtime routine.
