This time last year the sun was shining, people were walking around in t-shirts and the vibe of summer was clearly in the air. What a contrast! When the weather isn't the best it is easy to get down and feel less than 100%..thats if you're even up the 100% mark as it is! This is also the type of weather for getting colds which really doesn't help either. When you are in a low place the last thing you're going to think about is whether your on track for your goals!
So this month is about focusing on looking after yourself. Eat well, sleep well and get some light exercise in if you can. This will keep your mind healthy as well as your body, and is also a key way to ensure your self esteem is kept at a healthy level.
If you've been particularly busy the last while, then this is definitely the time to take time-out. Get some DVDs in, wrap up in some comfies and just chill, distract and forget about the world for a little while. Chocolate, popcorn and ice-cream are of course, optional!
Either way, the important thing is to recognise that life can get busy, and external factors that can't be controlled simply happen. Having a window of quiet time provides you with a moment to gather your energy, recharge your batteries and then you can continue with your quest.
Being good to yourself is extremely important - so no excuses of 'not enough time!' or 'i'm simply too busy!'...you just got to do this one important thing for you..no one else.
