Stay home if you are sick.  Your coworkers will appreciate that! 

If you will be drinking, eat something and drink an extra glass of water or 2 before you go out to set yourself up for success. 

If you are sick, stay home and take a day off!  Don't come in to work and spread the bug.

Headlights aren't just for seeing--they are for being seen.  Good idea to have them on at all times if they aren't automatically.  

Having a few basic things ready and in reach will make a big difference when the power goes out or you are stranded in the car.  

Slow down and be patient in school zones.  Safety needs to be first priority when the kiddos are out and about.  

Even if you aren't in the mood to exercise, go out and do 15-20 minutes of work in the yard.  It really helps change the mindset if something is bothering you. 

Being under the influence puts your co-workers at risk for injury too--not just you.  

If you feel like something is off or not quite right, trust your gut.  

If you have to work outside, start early and get done before the hottest part of the day.  Hydrate at least twice an hour if not more.
