The Holidays are a wonderful time of year! Unless you come down with a cold or flu, and then you’re miserable, regardless of the decorations and parties. Your best time management would be to not get sick or rundown this time of year, right?!
I worked with a very wise client today – one of the first goals she mentioned is “making time for self care around the holidays”. Awesome!!!
Make room in your schedule for these healthy habits. Use your time better, be organized and less stressed, feel and live better.
- Drink a large glass of ice-cold water every morning when you wake up, to stay hydrated and boost your metabolism.
- Make a habit (maybe buy a pill sorter?) to regularly take your medications and supplements – with breakfast? Dinner? At bedtime? Just make the habit.
- Clean out your briefcase, stand straighter and travel lighter. Clean out the backpack, handbag, etc. Pare down to what you really need.
- Strapped for time in the morning? Grab a healthy and portable breakfast, like an apple and granola bar, on your way out the door.
- Pack your lunch – saves money, saves time, is much healthier!
- Every week, grab an antibacterial wipe and wipe down your computer area, keyboard, desk phone and cell phone. And if you or people around you are sick, do it every day!
- Grab your calendar, and make your medical appointments for your annual physical and screenings, and twice annual dental visit.
- Take the stairs / park farther from the door
- Floss.
- Go to bed. Early. You know you want to, so just go to bed! You’ll feel better, be more productive and more positive tomorrow!
Use your time better, feel better, live better – Enjoy!
