Good morning! It’s (insert day of week here), and you did it. You’ve managed to lift your head from those soft, yesterday’s perfumed pillows and greet the new day. Work’s in 2 hours, and those ginger-rums from last night’s bandstand have left you feeling just a little groggier than usual. Look out your window. That’s a beautiful world out there, and you need to be a part of it.

What no one tells you in high school or even college about growing up and staying sane is that one has to actively go about de-stressing oneself on any given day, so here are 5 things that you can start today to promote a lifestyle of wellness for your work week.

1. Drink a glass of water the second you get up in the morning.

The second your alarm goes off turn to that glass of cool ocean on the nightstand next to you and fill yourself with it. Studies show that this not only increases your metabolism, but also helps you feel more awake for the day.
