3. Rest and relaxation are vital

You need your downtime to allow your energy levels to recover. A good winddown routine and regular sleep schedule, as well as getting enough sleep, can do wonders for you. Instead of catching up with friends every single day, plan time to enjoy relaxing with a nice bath, your favourite book, or a Blissful massage.
