Re-Energise From Your Christmas Slump



Sorry for not typing out a blog post in a little while. I’ve had time off to enjoy the festivities. As you all know that always involves eating too much. From the cheese and crackers to the cheese cakes, the mighty tone of chocolate or the horrendous amount of alcohol. Yes, we pig out. Our stomachs feel like the inside of a churning litter truck and our energy is at an all time low. So what are you going to do about it? When you wake up, make these three things your top priority’s for the day ahead.

Mountain Biking

I don’t like road biking. It’s crowded with vehicles. Motor vehicles that would most definitely win in a game of chicken! The air isn’t as clean as country air and with traffic lights there can be too much stopping and starting.
Mountain biking is brilliant. You can gather fresh air through  beautiful woodlands. You may also enjoy the light hearted circular rhythm of your cycling gait. Running can cause too much of an uncomfortable up and down pounding on a poorly stomach. Keep it fresh and keep it smooth.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a bike. Try a 15 minute stroll through the forest or beach. If you have a dog, take you pet for a longer walk than you would usually provide him/her with.

Get Your Head In The Books

Turn off your TV set and read. Read anything you enjoy. If it’s a book on your favourite hobby or self improvement you will learn valuable skills. If it’s a fictitious novel then that is also fine. Fictional literature is the best type of book you can read to improve how articulate you are. Biographies are inspirational and magazines are still better than developing square eyes from your TV.
Reading will help you to sharpen up your mental state which is quite important after too much chill and Netflix!

 Juice It Up

Try to ingest a delicious, sweet tasting smoothie. Mix in the berries for antioxidants and vitamin C. Fight the bacteria which goes around this time of year. Mix up the colours. Your micronutrients are essential to increase your energy level and to enhance your daily functions.
