Make sure to get at least seven to eight hours of sleep to recharge your batteries, as well as, help you stay alert and focused when you are awake.

2. Head outdoors: Spending time in nature can do you a lot of good. Not only will it raise your fitness levels, but it can help improve your mood and tackle stress. Go trekking on the weekends or simply enjoy a stroll in a park near you.
