And thank goodness it is, because I need to get my groove back. I lost it somewhere over the last few days. I worked out on the treadmill first thing this morning, but am still dragging this evening. Usually my workouts give me a bit of a boost, but not today, Looks like I am the one in need of the Monday Motivation! Here are some ways to fight the blahs:
- Boost your energy. Stretch, jog in place, or climb some stairs. Get moving and shake off any tension and stress.
- Eat a snack. Munch on some whole grain crackers with a dab of peanut butter. Or grab a handful of nuts or other healthy treat. Then drink a big glass of water.
- Change it up. Snap out of your same old routine. Even a tiny, seemingly insignificant change can pull you out of a rut.
- Talk with a friend. A fresh perspective from someone you trust can help you manage your negative thoughts and emotions.
- Pamper yourself. A warm bath, mini-massage or anything that helps you de-stress will increase your serotonin level – that “feel good” hormone.
- Listen to some upbeat music. Turn up the volume and rock out!
- Do something nice. Step outside of yourself to help someone else. Nothing extravagant or huge, just a kind gesture from your heart.
- Write it down. Jot down what’s blowing around in your head. Putting your thoughts on paper can give you a fresh new outlook.
Here I come 1, 4 and 6!
