Do the holidays fill you with anxiety and a whole new round of to-do lists or are you energized by spending more time with family and friends?
Do you find your energy lagging as the days get shorter, the food gets more plentiful, more sugar-y and more tempting?
Yep. The holiday season is in full swing. Why not take advantage of it and swing through it with style, energy, vitality and even stronger relationships?
Think it is not possible? Try these quick tips and see how you feel even by the end of this week.
- Breathe. Several times a day - whether you feel stressed or not - breathe in and out slowly (to the count of 10). Close your eyes if you can. It calms you and energizes you at the same time.
- Drink...water. The air is drier. The alcohol and caffeine are around more. All that spells dehydration...and big energy drains. An extra glass or two of water goes along way. I like mine with lemon and lime!
- Take just a taste of your most favorite food stuffs. That means 1-3 bites. And then stop. And walk away. Far away. Unless you have much better willpower than most people, distance is a great thing and can be your biggest ally.
I know these sound easy and very common. I didn't say that these were groundbreaking nutrional insights. But they are all totally doable - and they really do make a difference.
What is your favorite tip for keeping your energy up during the holidays?
