"7 Tips for Staying
Sane over the Silly Season"
By Jennifer Jefferies
Christmas is
coming very fast now, so here is the last newsletter for
the year with the Sanity Savers required to get you
through in a sane way. You see I know you are going to
be human anyway, so do that and make a few tweaks along
the way so that you can survive in style.
7 Tips for Staying Sane over the Silly Season
1. Stay hydrated – It has to be number one
because I know that you are going to enjoy yourself and
have some alcohol. Bottom line, alcohol is very
dehydrating (I know that you know the dry feeling you
wake up with after a night with few glasses of your
favourite party drink). So the world will not end if you
enjoy some party cheer all I suggest is that you have at
least one water for each glass or two of alcohol.
Remember it is trendy and socially acceptable to drink
water now days and there are so many boutique waters on
the market to enjoy.
2. Get quality rest – If you know you are going
out to play hard, get a power nap in the afternoon
before hand. Prepare to play and then you will have the
stamina to go all night if you so wish.
3. Eat some real food – The incidence of ailments
like gout (yes gout, it is not an old mans disease
anymore) increase around this time of year. Snacking on
salty and rich foods, enjoying a little too much alcohol
and not enough water can lead to acute ailments like
gout and or associated aches and pains. So think and
plan ahead, eat at least two nutritious meals a day and
party on the other.
4. Get a buddy to help you enjoy but not regret –
If you know you are prone to being the party animal and
over indulging ask a friend to do the circuit with you
and not for you to try to lead them astray, but ask them
to be honest with you and then you listen if they ask
you to take a breather.
5. Chill Out - Enjoy it all, it is the party
season and you deserve to play. Simply remember that you
are human and if you are going to play, PLAY and enjoy
every minute of it, just do it guilt free. Regretting
things the day after is useless and damaging to your
health. Be responsible the night before and it enjoy
yourself.
6. Move your body – at least a bit. If you are
that busy and cannot fit in your normal exercise routine
within the busy social schedule – go for a quality
workout less often. Just do something. That little bit
if discipline now saves lots of guilt later when you are
trying to move the extra kilos put on over the silly
season.
7. Use this time of year to reconnect with someone
special. We all have someone in our lives that we
have thought all year, that you wanted to catch up with
them. Do it right now, give them a call and reconnect.
