    Every week I keep saying I’m going to bed 11pm to make sure I get 7 hours it never happens. Too much procrastinating Lol.

    One area I don’t get enough in is sleep. With me working nights, it can be very difficult to catch up with your sleep during the day. When you miss out of something vital like sleep, you have to make up for it in other areas like a good diet or drinking lots of water.

    I think that laughter is more important than most people think. This is the age where we start to re-evaluate what kind of work is worth the stress in life, and laughter usually disappears when we’re stressed out. As a 32-year-old staying healthy is becoming more and more important!

    Diet is a huge issue in the 30s (and into the 40s). For people that are married, kids have probably entered the picture which means a) lack of time to prepare healthy meals, b) picky eaters and c) more activities leads to more eating out. Plus, the bodies metabolism begins to slow down especially if exercise is lacking.

    I’m only rounding 28 but I try to incorporate these all now. Good habits to have for 30s and onwards.

    If your not laughing your not living! I practice walking every day with the dog and eating a paleo/all natural eating lifestyle, I fall off the wagon from time to time, but overall I feel great……32 and counting

    Exercise : finding something you like and do not over do it! I have some friends who literally burned themselves out from too much exercise.

    What you could add to this article is “Relax and Enjoy life”
