Hello All,
The build up to Christmas is one of my favourite times of year. There's an expectation in the air, the promise of something magical about to happen. Children excitedly writing their letters to Santa and loving every minute of visiting Santa in his grotto hoping that they will receive their special gift. This year in the UK was even more spectacular due to the heavy snow falls, making for a white Christmas in most parts. The walk on Christmas morning was straight off a Christmas card snowy scene, the red breasted robin hopping alongside hoping that maybe you had a crumb or two, the blackbirds foraging for worms in the leaves on the ground.
It's a hectic time of year with visits to friends and family to fit in. And when you get the house back to yourself post Boxing day there's an emptiness and a slump. You're probably exhausted from too much food, chocolate and alcohol and maybe even a little depressed. Is that it? New Year doesn't hold the same attraction as it did when you were 18 so nothing to look forward too. Haven't booked the Summer holiday yet and dreading the thought of going back to work. Sound familiar?
Now is definitely the time of year to go easy on yourself. Enjoy that lie in, have a light breakfast and then go out for a walk in the morning. Stop for a coffee or look forward to a freshly brewed one at home. If you feel like having a sleep in the afternoon, do it! Watch DVD's, read a book or two and go easy on the alcohol to allow your system to recover. Take some natural supplements to boost your intake of vitamins and boost energy levels. Most importantly relax and enjoy the break. Allow your mind to rest and stop worrying about what might or might not happen. Just enjoy the moment.
When you feel ready you can start to plan your year ahead, but only when you're ready, don't push yourself.
Make sure you are fully recharged before New Year Eve so that you go into 2010 in great shape.
All the best,
Noelyne
