Stay hydrated

During busy times, drinking water can be the last thing on your mind, but staying hydrated is key to maintaining a healthy body. Be on the lookout for signs of dehydration and try to replenish with water or sugar-free beverages as needed. Signs of dehydration include premature fatigue, faster breathing and heart rate, dark urine and thirst.

Remember the 8x8 rule! Experts recommend drinking eight eight-ounce glasses of water each day.

Know your "go-to" stress foods

Being aware of how you cope with stress will help combat unhealthy eating habits when the “stakes are high.” Whether your stress food is cake or possibly not eating at all, both can have negative health consequences if they become a habit. Making small efforts to still have a healthy, balanced diet will not only help keep your energy up, but will help you in the long end.

Give yourself a break

Whether it is 30 seconds, five minutes or an hour, allow yourself time to decompress. This small break will help recharge you for the tasks ahead.

Also, this will give you time to sneak in a quick snack and water in order to fuel you for the rest of the day!
