Get Sufficient Sleep
Most individuals overlook the value of sufficient sleep. Most people need at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. People who get enough sleep have more energy, focus and perform far better than those who don’t.
Wake up an Hour Earlier
This is a really important step that can help you to improve your lifestyle. Just decide to wake up an hour earlier than you normally do and set your alarm clock for this time every morning. Try to wake up at 06:00 AM because I assure you it will be one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself.

Eating a healthy diet will provide your body the vitamins, minerals and energy it needs. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, keep your meat lean particularly try white meat and fish, and try to eat small and often. I suggest eating something every ¾ hours to ensure your body stays energised.
Take time to remove stress from your body and mind
Stress can take its toll on your body and mind, so you need to take a few minutes each day to just unwind and loosen up, stretch your neck, take a few deep breaths in and out. If you have extra time, try to meditate for a bit, sit in a quiet area, focus on coming to a peaceful state of mind.

Get Outside for a while
Get regular exposure to daylight for at least 30 minutes daily. No more vegetating indoors, or just jumping in your car, go to work and stay in your office all day. You’ve got to get outside, fill your lungs with air and let the breeze touch your skin.
