Summer is finally here, and yes it will probably be gone before you can say BBQ, but that doesn't mean you still can't kick those bad habits that you've been promising to do since January.
Staying in and
popping the telly on seems a much better idea than getting out and about with
friends, and it can be easy to become isolated.
Summer is the
wake up call many people need to start getting back to their healthier, happier
lives and getting rid of those bad habits!
By following
my basic tips for banishing the blues, you can claim back your body confidence and back into that bikini before
you know it!
1.
Practise mindfulness. Start off by making small goals. They
can be anything-fitting in a twenty minute walk on your lunch break, or trying
something new for tea. Ticking off those you achieved on an evening bring a
fantastic sense of achievement.
2.
Get healthy: Winter is an excuse for a binge-when
the weather is miserable and dark, we crave carby, sugary food in order to
boost our low moods. Start off by banishing those calorific snacks in favour of
healthier alternatives.
3.
Sleep it off: Make sure you are getting enough
sleep! Going without our recommended eight hours can have all sorts of effects
on us long term, including irritability, poor concentration and even a lower
immune system!
4.
Talk it through: Has the long winter and busy holiday
season left you feeling a little bit flat? There’s nothing like making fun
plans and chatting through any problems you have with friends. In fact, regular
interaction with others has been proven to improve depression and boost
self-esteem!
5.
5: Be Realistic:
Many people start off with unrealistic expectations-the trick is to take small
steps, be honest with yourself, and if in doubt seek more help!
