People always ask me, how could I maintain between my work and my study, even if I have to study about 8 hours a day at my university. And, uh, then I work about four to 6 hours and I just answer them. I exercise. I come to the gym about four times a week and do the exercise with dumbbell and I cardio at the end of my workout out. As we all know, if you come to the gym or uh, any kind of exercise, you also need a good diet, not only to maintain your muscle, uh, but also it gives you energy to finish an accomplished, um, workout. And if we can combine two factors, that is exercise and diet, your health and your body shape become better and better. It’s not only about the physical health, this is also about the mental health. I feel like when I come to the gym about m four times week, my mental health is much better in compari with the time when I ch laying in my bed and uh, surfing my phone, um, because it makes me feel release all the stress, anxiety or exhausted thing in my work, in my study.

People often ask me how I manage to balance my work and studies, especially since I spend around 8 hours a day at university and another 4 to 6 hours working. My answer is simple: I exercise. I go to the gym about four times a week, lifting weights and doing cardio at the end of my workout. As we all know, a good diet is essential for any exercise routine, not only to maintain muscle but also to provide the energy needed for a successful workout. Combining exercise and a healthy diet improves both physical and mental health. I've noticed that going to the gym four times a week significantly improves my mental well-being compared to just lying in bed and scrolling through my phone. Exercise helps me release stress, anxiety, and fatigue from work and studies. Furthermore, I've found that exercise enhances my ability to focus for extended periods during work and study. I also prioritize sleep, aiming for 7 to 8 hours each night. These are the key things I do to achieve good results in both my studies and work.
