DAILY EXERCISE: Physical activity has huge potential to enhance mental well-being. Even 10 minutes of brisk walking helps our mental alertness, energy, self-esteem, memory, stress and anxiety

REWARDS: Rewarding yourself is important for two reasons. Firstly it helps you feel good about what you've achieved and secondly it motivates us to work towards the next goal knowing that at the end, we will recieve another reward.
