GET MY GOALS

Goal-setting is a terrific way of keeping you focused on the bigger picture. What’s more, this stuff works (if it’s good enough for rugby icon Dan Carter, it’s good enough for you). When you’re burning the candle at both ends, you may ask what the point of it all is. But by setting those big goals – be it a holiday, promotion push or pursuit of a passion – it’s incredible how it focuses mind, body and soul.

WORK SMART

Ever notice on Dragons’ Den how the wide-eyed hopeful invariably wheels out a similar story: “I’ve been working 22-hour days, seven days a week for 10 years…” These would-be whizzes work very long hours and still have plenty of fight left. How? Because they’re doing something they’re passionate about. We’re not telling you to set up your own business, but we are urging you to choose your job wisely.

BYE-BYE, BOOZE

Want more energy and clarity of thought? Here’s an easy win: stop drinking. We mean it. We’re not talking ‘drinking spirits instead of wine’. We mean you either cutting out alcohol altogether, or switching to low or no-alcohol options. You’ll find your quality of sleep improves and your energy levels will soar.
