If this is the case maybe try to find a local park or green space to have lunch once or twice a week, instead of having it inside or at your desk at work. You would be surprised at the positive effect of just getting some fresh air can have.
Enjoy Exercising

This is why you should explore all different types of exercising and find the one/s that you enjoy the most. If you are able to, it is always a pretty good idea to exercise with friends or family, something as simple as kicking a ball around can be great.
Try Relaxing with Meditation
People tend to live very stressful lives these days, so it is important that you try to relax and wind down whenever you can. Meditation is a great was to do this. While meditation may not be everyone’s cup of tea, there are a lot of different variations to meditation that you can try. One of the most basic is breathing exercises, something this simple can lower your heart rate and work to clear your mind so you can move on with your day.
Don’t Procrastinate
If you want to lead a healthy lifestyle then you should stop procrastinating and start today.
