In the hour before bedtime, create a small evening ritual that helps you calm your mental chatter and relaxes your body. Review your day with as much objectivity as possible. Without making judgments, set an intention for tomorrow. (For instance, It could be to hydrate, get outside more, delay gratification, reduce consumption, take a movement break... something that energizes your spirit). Tip 2: Fuel your brain and body with food/drink that sustains your energy
If you are feeling foggy and groggy, just check the immediate effect of what you consumed. If you are dragging or have a brain fog an hour later than what you ate might be slowing you down. Try adding more fresh vegetables to your daily diet, this can help stabilize your appetite and reduce blood-sugar spiking. Tip 3: Remember to make time to schedule your workouts

Before you break your promise to yourself, remember how grounded and balanced you feel after your workouts. Show up for yourself so you can be at your best everywhere else. Tip 4: FLOW!
