I've found a few things have helped me with this issue:

- I bought a Fitbit and aim for 10k+ steps a day

- I rarely make coffee at home in the mornings, instead going to a local coffee shop to purchase one

- I try to go out for lunch every other day (normally just somewhere quick and cheap)

- I meet a friend for dinner, go to a meetup, or just go to the pub 1 or 2 nights a week

- Play a sport (I play Squash) which gets you out of the house and exercising

These have helped me a lot although I do still fall into bad habits. In 2017 I worked from home for 6 months and almost exclusively ate takeaway, played video games in the evening, and rarely went outside during the working week. My mental health really suffered during that time and it took a while to get back out of it!
