How much a difference stopping looking after yourself makes!

Hi, this week (as we as the last 2 weeks) have involved me putting a lot of hours in at the pub. Leaving not a lot of time for other things. I can see a difference in myself with this, as having less "me" time is making me not feel as fulfilled and confident. I am also feeling really sluggish and tired.


I had been taking new vitamins and supplements to try and help, however I was consciously eating more healthily and drinking more water. My partner is also really wanting me to take up biking, so I have been borrowing a bike and going for the odd bike ride. I could see the difference in a week! The reason I can now see the difference is after around 4 days of quick grab and go food, and less active relaxation time, I am really sluggish and not on top form again.


I honestly didn't realise how instant or noticeable the changes to my lifestyle and outlook would be. Needless to say as I am righting this I am struggling to keep my eyes open, and guess I should get a large glass of water and get back in the game.






Therefore I shall commit to:
  1. Drinking at least 1.5 ltrs of water a day
  2. Spending at least 30 minutes outside
  3. Taking my vitamins and supplements
  4. Eating 3 healthy meals a day, and limiting snacking
  5. Doing something that makes me smile for 30 minutes a day (e.g. YouTube videos, colouring, talking with my partner)
Hopefully I shall be on top form again very soon.


What do you do to for a quick pick me up?
