When you’re becoming more successful in your career or building your brand, it’s tempting to pour all your energy into that and put your health on the backburner. Yet, neglecting your physical and mental health will cause problems for you sooner or later, and that’s why it’s much better to incorporate healthy habits into your routine. No matter how busy you’ve become, the following three tips will keep you in good shape.

Start Prepping Your Meals in Advance

Poor eating habits are a common problem for Millennials leading hectic lives. With little time to spare, you may find yourself buying unhealthy premade meals, takeout or fast food.

The best way to eat healthy without spending valuable time cooking every day is meal prepping. There are plenty of meals where you can prepare a large amount of food in advance, divide the food into individual servings and warm those servings up when you need them. With an hour or less of cooking, you’ll have enough meals for the next several days. If you don’t know much about preparing food—or don’t consider yourself talented in that regard—then you may benefit from a health or lifestyle makeover program that includes cooking demonstrations.

Incorporate Physical Activity into Your Daily Routine

You probably don’t want to spend time commuting to the gym and working out there every day. The good news is that there are plenty of ways you can stay active without derailing your day.

You could purchase some basic equipment that will let you exercise at home or in the office, such as resistance bands, or even stick to bodyweight exercises. Instead of exercising for an hour straight, do a set of pushups or sit-ups whenever you’ve got a minute. Another option is to start walking or riding a bike around town for trips you normally would have taken with your car.

Use Breaks to Recharge Mentally

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and if you work yourself too hard, you’ll eventually wear down. A well-timed break can be the perfect tool to stay focused during a long day.

When you’ve been busy working for a while, you can also consider going to a wellness retreat. These are an excellent way to destress and recharge. You’ll get back to work feeling refreshed, which will be great for your productivity.

Achieving more success in life is a fantastic accomplishment, especially when you’re early in your career. Just make sure you continue taking care of yourself so that you can stay healthy and keep progressing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
