Primarily with preventative measures:

- Exercise: weightlifting 4x per week

- Meditation: 15 minutes daily in the AM

- Diet: Paleo-ish, I initially did the "4 Hour Body" diet to lose some weight and noticed I felt better all-around not eating bread/heavy carbs. On the other hand, bread is delicious. Mostly, I just try to avoid tons of sugar/insulin spikes.

Being disciplined about these things is pretty critical for me.

I follow almost an identical routine and works for me. I also find important to try to reduce the amount of time I am "thinking" about work.

Totally agree. I go the work with my bike, it's good for mental and physic health. When I go back to my home - and if I don't have extra-urgent work, then I shutdown my laptop, my mobile phone, and enjoy the evening with my wife or with some quiet reading as story (not too technical stuffs to have good nights). Yes, of course, take breath and sleep as much as possible.
