Week 40
I think play should be a good part of your healthy life. Playing will keep stress down and make you less likely to give in to emotional eating. I will plan at least one fun thing to do a day. Maybe go for a bike ride, play my keyboard, play a computer game or pretend to be rich and browse some model homes.Week 41
Now that we have playing down we need to add some joy breaks to our day. Just 2-5 minutes a few times a day to relax and have fun. Bring a yo-yo, devotional book, or crossward puzzle to work and use it. Sing a little song before doing housework. Plan to watch the sunset tonight. Make sure you plan some of the breaks into your day. Others just come to us, like being drawn to nurture one of your plants.Week 42
During the day chose one thing to look forward to that evening. We get so stressed if you have to come home from work or a day with the kids only to do more work and running around. See if you can get 1/2 hour or even 15 minutes for something you enjoy. In the afternoon you can think of what might be enjoyable like working on a jigsaw puzzle with the family, going out for dessert or doing some scrapbooking. Your tasks will keep till the next day.Week 43
What about the weekends? Are they just good for catching up on what we didn't finish during the week. Take a real Sabbath with no housework or shopping. My favorite memories of my childhood was having Dad say on a Sunday afternoon after church "So what shall we do today?" Sometimes we would go downtown to the museums in Chicago, go to the forest preserve and take a walk, visit the zoo or sometimes just sit at home playing board games. These mini-vacations were what memories are made of. Week 44
Are you tired all the time? Need more energy? You need to find out what is draining your energy. Are you getting enough sleep? Do you have something to be passionate about or are you bored? Are you burned out with work and things to do? You need to start saying no and making time for yourself. Are you exercising and getting that blood moving? Are you sick? Are unresolved relationship issues draining your energy? Are you eating light meals or eating too much heavy food? Are you taking your vitamins? Are you drinking enough water or are you dehydrated? Find out how you can get more energy.
