Physical Health Eat Well
You move, you are active, you go go go.... and then you have the munchies. Well, tune in to what your body is telling you it wants/needs. https://www.wellandgood.com/good-sweat/post-workout-meal-cravings/ Be Active
I want to follow this advice, but ... living overseas complicates a couple of these suggestions.

Two shorter workouts for you: Quick and sweaty: http://www.intervaltimer.com/timers/8091889. Familiar moves, fast-paced and you'll get a sweat on in less than 20 minutes.

Spiritual Health Rather than give you a link to wander off to, I thought this might be a great time to check in, and focus on you.

Mental & Emotional Health So you think your physical wellness and your mental wellness aren't connected? Regular exercise is actually a great way to improve your cognitive abilities.
