Merry Christmas! I hope that you have a wonderful festive season and it is all that you hope for, including spending time with your family and eating lots of lovely food.
And if you do indulge, do not let it stress you about any gained inches or if you rest more over this time. It is perfectly normal to need a rest, and in fact, it is a necessity, and the festive time is a perfect opportunity to do it. Every one will be doing the same, and your work or your business will be much quieter so that you can truly switch off.
However, despite all the mental and physical rest you will take, it is still important to move your body. Even just a little bit. Your body was not designed to be stationery, it was designed for movement!
Movement Is Medicine
As you may have heard me say before, and in the winter, it is even more vital to continue to move.
Plan family walks around your locale, or visit a new area. Maybe even take the kids to something a little more adventurous like an indoor trampoline experience or somewhere they can climb about…. Pssst…. You should join in with them! Not just because your children love it when you play with them, but your body loves it too. It has evolved to be upright and mobile and not being mobile enough can affect every part of your health.
Maybe your energy or enthusiasm is low, or you don’t like going out of doors when it is this cold, so what can you do about that?
Start Small
Start small, walk to the corner shop or the closest park and dress appropriately for the temperature; proper walking shoes or boots, two pairs of socks if necessary, jumpers, scarves, hat, and gloves. Alternatively, you can daydream about laying in a toasty room on a warm table, having your stresses massaged out of you.
