Too tired to enjoy your holidays
Are you desperately waiting for your three or four weeks vacation, yet feel all you will want to do with holiday time is nothing. You feel stressed and burned out with little energy for fun. If you have some weeks left before the big H(oliday), follow the following tips to rest now so you can play later.
1. Check your schedule until your holidays and see what you can eliminate to save time every week. Even "good for you" sport and social activities can leave you depleted and tired if you are left without time to just relax.
2. Review your nutrition and add more vegetables and fruits daily.
3. Go to bed earlier and specifically go to bed early one night a week. Wednesday is a good time for early to bed. You will have more energy to finish your projects before the weekend.
4. If you feel that some of your holiday time will be used to finish projects around the house, see if you can find a student who will either do it all or help you to get a head start so you can enjoy your holidays.
5. If you are the "couch and tv type", add some physical activity to your days. Walking, swimming, cycling. If on the other hand you are very physically active, learn to wind down with a good book.
6. Finally, to make sure you do include these changes in your schedule, commit to it in writing in your day planner.
