It’s the end of winter, spring is nearly here and I know I’m not the only one looking forward to it..
It’s been a particularly frosty and murky season with lots of colds and viruses going around, so it makes sense some of us might be feeling like we’re running on empty!🪫😪
When I’m feeling like I’m crawling through the week, hanging onto the idea of a sleep in as my only plan for the weekend, these are some habits I practice religiously to avoid burnout:
✨STRETCHING AND BREATHING - nothing fancy. Just showing mindfully. Some of my go tos are cobra to child pose, pigeon, happy baby and thread the needle.
✨JOURNALING - this is something I’ve been practicing regularly for about a year. It can feel a bit awkward and forced at first but I promise you, it gets easier. Just keep writing. I find that once my thoughts are on paper they’re out of my head.
✨NIGHTTIME SKINCARE - this is my ritual to wrap up the day. No crazy 15 steps routine, just a few good products and 10 minutes to wind down before bed.
✨TREATyourself - whether you have a sweet tooth or not, food is more than just fuel! Allowing yourself a treat along with good nutrition helps you maintain a positive and balanced approach to food. Especially when certain foods get absolutely demonised, it’s important not to live your life in scarcity mindset scared of indulging every once in a while.
✨TIME WITH PETS - this is for the animal lovers! Our fur babies don’t demand anything from us if not attention and quality time, possibly out of the house. I find it extremely relaxing and rewarding to spend a few hours outside giving Peppa my undivided attention. No pets at home? Just take yourself out for a walk or sit at the park. What a boost of endorphins!
Hang in there, days are getting longer and sunshine is coming 🌞🧚♂️🌸
