Water significantly affects energy levels and brain function. Drink at least 1/2 of your bodyweight in ounces per day.
- BEDTIME ROUTINE
Go to bed and wake up at the same time to maintain a good circadian rhythm. This process regulates your sleep-wake cycle.
- GET OUTDOORS
The sun and moon correlate with our mood and energy levels. Get exposure to daylight and sleep in-line with the moon.

Drinking water, blood flow and good digestion are essential daily routines. Facilitate recovery faster by moving.

Invest in eating. Sit down, chew your food, put the phone away and have a conversation!
