5 Tips:
- You will be the driving force for your success, but also have others around you to encourage you each day.
- Try to be physically active for some part of the day.
- Remember rest and hydration are important for your body.
- Communicate your challenges to others (i.e., your support system, a support group, or psychological professional)
- Find different exercises that you enjoy and switch up your exercise routine. Ex. Swim one day, walk the next, dance the next day.
