3. Get sunlight every day. Vitamin D is one of the most important nutrients for overall health, and sunlight is one of our best sources of it. Aim to get at least 30 minutes of sunlight each day.

4. Fill your home with houseplants. Houseplants help to cleanse your indoor air, they’re pretty, and research even shows they improve mood, creativity and problem solving!

5. Give your eyes a rest. Eyes become easily strained when you’re constantly focused on your computer screen. Reduce the risk of tired eyes by looking away from your computer for at least 20 seconds in 20-minute intervals. 

6. Spend time alone. Spending regular time alone helps to get to know and stay in touch with yourself. Alone time is an opportunity to check in with how you’re doing and what you want, so you can live your most intentional life. 

7. Try something new. Join a book club, sign up for a class, start cooking. Try something new at least once a month. Making a point to keep learning throughout your life can keep your mind lively and engaged.

8. Take care of your skin. Building a daily skin care routine can help you maintain overall skin health or improve concerns like acne, scarring or dark spots. Find a cleanser, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen and give your skin the love it deserves.
