Take care of your body and mind.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Working out is a great way to de-stress, help you sleep, and increase serotonin (the feel-good chemical in your brain) \u2014 which will help reduce feelings of anxiety. Eating a balanced diet and getting enough sleep will also help increase your productivity and energy throughout the day. You can also set up your space to be more conducive to focus and productivity. Creating a space that is inviting and comfortable to work in will reduce feelings of stress, help you focus, and take away distractions.<\/span><\/p>\n
