Some top things to do are perhaps...
1) EXERCISE
- get daily fun physical intense activity often in the day starting early (like walk or dance-exercise),
2) STRETCH - frequent stretching feels good and is good for the body... helps in many ways
3) POSTURE AND BREATHING - make sure posture is always good so can breath properly, not shallow
4) NUTRITION - eat healthy every day (get all needed nutrients... eat balanced diet of healthy foods, replace bad foods)
5) HYDRATION - stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking sips of water often, starting early and ending late
6) SLEEP - get 7-8 hrs of actual sleep time daily on an identical sleep/wake-up time schedule each day of the week
7) STAY BUSY DOING USEFUL THINGS IN REAL LIFE - avoid excessive time just thinking or not being productive
8) REACH OUT AND GET HELP AND SOCIAL CONNECTIONS - get effective help and social support and talk-time
9) REPLACE WORRY HABIT WITH PROBLEM SOLVING HABIT- see two 7Cups threads below
