In the last week or so I feel like I’ve dropped off from the blogging world completely. Some of my followers may have noticed no new content. Which is the total opposite attitude I want to have especially as my blog is newly created. In the last week I have found it difficult to find personal time to put together new posts as a lot of my energy has gone into my everyday work. At the moment I’m feeling quite tired and a lot of my stress goes into my lower back which also makes me feel more exhausted than usual.
I’m sure a lot of other people would agree that waking up and feeling like the walking dead is the worst. That there needs to be a change in actions and attitudes to get back up to perform your best potential.
If you’re personality is like mine you might find it hard to accept that you are over pushing yourself and really need to focus on yourself.
If you have a morning off it’s really nice to lay in bed and ease yourself into the day. Perhaps making yourself a cup of tea and returning to bed in your pyjama’s instead of rushing up.
Go and book a massage for yourself. I know that it’s something we all go. ‘it costs money though’ and sometimes it can cost a lot to get a treatment but it can make all the change in the world. I’m awful and have so many knots in my back which makes me so tense all the time and then when the stress in my lower back forms it can be really painful. Don’t make it an everyday thing but please do spoil yourself to these things as every time I walk out I feel so refreshed.
Stop trying to give up your personal time to suit others all the time. I’m one of those people if someone wants to see me I work backwards to make it up to them as I feel bad. Even if I’ve come straight from work and over tired. I sometimes wonder why I’m like this as I know other people in my situation would put themselves first and give themselves a home day to recover. So I should be doing the same. People will be more than happy to rearrange if they are good friends and family who understand.
The opposite to that, sometimes it’s nice to catch up for dinner/lunch or coffee with a good friend or family member and have a laugh. Being surrounded by positive energy can put you in a really happy mood. I’d only suggest doing this after taking a home day for yourself.
Create a relaxing energy within your house. Use chilled out relaxing and meditation type of music. If you have no idea what to listen to I know Spotify has created playlists that you can browse through. Light candles up and spray the house with a lovely scent. Move away and into your own area to sit back and relax.
Lastly, try not to stuff up your sleep pattern or stay up too late which can be a major downfall in your recovery.
I hope some of these tips helped as they definitely work for me.
Would love to know if anyone tries some of these suggestions or has any suggestions to give me to try.
Had fun chatting & I have planned a few new posts that should be uploaded later on in the week.
Love Perri xx
