Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep are essential for overall well-being. Taking care of your physical health will positively impact both your professional and personal life.
6. Set Clear Boundaries
Communicate your boundaries to your colleagues and loved ones. Let them know when you are available for work-related matters and when you need personal time for yourself.
