Forming a new habit in the best of times can be difficult, let alone trying to make changes when you’re already spent. But just because you’re exhausted, doesn’t mean you can’t build new, healthier habits. The key is to start small. First and foremost, make sleep a priority: go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. Most of us go to bed too late to get the amount of sleep we need, so move your lights out time back as needed. Then, work on your nutrition. Aim to drink more water and identify the eating habits that make you feel more energized and less drained. If you’re overloaded at work, keep a glass of water and a snack on your desk so that you don’t forget to stay hydrated and nourished. Next, fold in some exercise. You don’t need to overdo it. You’ll see your overall wellness improve if you do at least 25 minutes of vigorous cardio exercise three times a week. If that seems like too much to start, begin with gentle stretches in the morning and a daily walk in the afternoon, and build up from there. These are the basics, and once you’ve established these habits, it’ll be easier to take on more. Choose one to work on at a time, whether it’s focusing on being on time, planning your week in advance, or some other new behavior that you’d like to master, and take it slowly and steadily.
