Take care of yourself. Make time for yourself. If you are constantly occupied by work, then finally you will end up losing the drive and motivation to get things done. Thus, give little breaks between your tasks. You can indulge in watching a TV episode or taking a good peaceful bath. These little breaks between your work can boost your energy and overall happiness.
Another way to take care of yourself is to eat healthy meals and work out regularly. Exercise at least for 15 to 30 minutes a day to improve your mental health and energy levels. This is because when you exercise, your brain releases endorphins that make you feel better. Workouts deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. It also improves cognition and prevents brain degeneration.
