A healthy lifestyle for me includes playing soccer, going to the gym 6 times a week, and eating enough food in order to gain muscle and have energy to exercise and play soccer. Doing these things helps get my mind off of the stressful parts of my life and gives me something to do and be a part of. To reduce my stress, I listen to music, do deep breathing, and I pray. This usually helps relieve my stress but one thing I should work on is getting more sleep in order to feel refreshed in the morning and have more energy to be active throughout the day.
