Do some meal prep
提前备餐
Figuring out what to have for dinner on weeknights can be a surprisingly stressful time suck. Sketching out a menu plan on Sunday (and swinging by the grocery store for ingredients) willhelp you eat well. Go a step further by chopping and cooking veggies and a protein (like aroast chicken or scrambled eggs). Then all you have to do is heat and plate when you comehome from work Monday evening.
Or finally pull the trigger on that meal-kit subscription you've been meaning to try. Talk abouteasy dinner planning: Just order, and you have a week's worth of raw materials for deliciousand healthy meals.
"To be healthy, we have to take care of body and mind," says Hudnall. Stress has a majorimpact on health and our ability to concentrate, so starting a Sunday stress-busting habit canlaunch the week feeling strong and focused. Four ideas to try: a guided meditation practicewith the help of an app; forest bathing-a practice known as shinrin-yoku in Japan, whichbasically means taking a long walk or hike in a wooded area; gentle exercise like yoga; or timecuddling and playing with your pet.
