We know it’s coming… Fall!
It’s time to put away the shorts and flip flops and break out the boots and long pants.
For so many people, including myself, I start to get down and depressed around this time of the year.
I really want this fall to be different, so here are three easy things that I’m going to incorporate into my life over the next three months.
Drink more water. I know I know everyone says that, but in the cooler months, you need the extra hydration. I’m shooting for 64oz a day. This will be a mix of plain water and water with hydration sticks. I also like to mix my water with sugar-free Gatorade for flavor.
Go on a morning prayer walk. I use this time to thank God for the day and cast my cares and burdens. I cry and sometimes yell, and that‘s ok. It’s my time at peace.
Be kind to yourself! I’ve gotten in this habit of writing down one good thing about myself. I do this when I get to work on a post-it note and stick it on my computer. It’s a simple reminder to myself that “I AM SMART” and that ”I BELONG HERE.”
I listen to upbeat music! Now honey, if you don’t know The Thick Chixx, listen to all types of music, so follow us on Itunes and listen to our playlist. I have it in my ear at work and in the car.
Be active. I know getting cold and dark outside; you don’t want to go to a fitness class. COME TO CLASS!!!!!!! This is the best thing that gets me in a great mood, especially a Thick Chixx class. Find our class schedule online at www.thethickchixx.com.
Let me know what you do to overcome the fall blues.
