OK, I know that in The Netherlands we are not exactly spoilt for sunshine, but do get out more.Go for a lunchtime walk. If you need supplement for vitamin D. Speak to a doctor first.

Stop smoking if you can. And you really can. Use up the start of a new year as a mark. You used not to be a smoker, so become a non-smoker again. It is very bad for your health and you know that. It costs a fortune too. Try the gums of the patches, but ultimately only one person can stop you smoking and that’s you. Change your habits and start today!
Drink at least 2 litres of water. This is easy and the benefits are massive. Buy a refillable water container and take it with you all the time.

Eat a lot of vegetables, good for the vitamins. Adopt a policy of eating more vegetables. Try keeping a small food diary, so you are visibly more aware of what you are eating to make sure you are adding the vitamin rich foods you need to build muscle.
Avoid bad fatty acids, like in cookies, fried stuff etc. Learn more about the foods you eat. Knowledge is power. Take a full break from the habit (if you have one) of going to McDonalds or Burger King. Make better food choices. If you are in a restaurant, don’t stuff yourself with the free bread while waiting for your actual order. That’s doubling the calories !
Do muscle- and cardio exercise at least 3 times a week for 45-60 minutes per week. It increases your rest metabolism and therefor you burn more fat over time. So do less Netflix and chill and push yourself to work out more. Adding sport and exercise into your week as an obligation, not an option. Once you are training regularly, you will want to train more. It becomes your normal and that is just simply changing you habits.

Some of these can be solved by small changes – getting more sleep, adopting a positive mental attitude, analysing work and family life and removing the issues that annoy you. For more serious stress issue, consider talking to someone that can help give you clarity.
