5 Ways to Recharge your batteries after the Holiday

 

Thanksgiving is now over and it's time to think about ourselves and recharge our batteries that we have depleted over the holiday. Spending the day with friends and family can get pretty stressful especially when it is your turn to make the food. Sometimes a holiday turns into the biggest stress maker so on the day after Thanksgiving or even the weekend after let’s make sure we take care of ourselves.

Read a book in a cozy nest of blankets and pillows while drinking some nice hot tea, coffee, or even hot cocoa. Enjoy that book and let the coziness give you a big hug. If you are not a big reader but like to listen to podcasts or even like to watch YouTube videos do that today and bundle yourself up in a little cozy cocoon.

Have a nice hot bath with a bath bomb or bath salts, and relax those muscles that are all tight from all the stress.  If you don’t have a tub or simply dislike taking baths, take a nice hot shower and cozy up in a warm towel. Tip: Stick your towel into the dryer before you take your shower and pull it out just before you head under the water it will stay nice and warm for when you are done.

If exercise is the way you recharge and de-stress go out on a run or do some Yoga, take in the fresh air and relax. Or have a little dance party at home it might seem counterintuitive to have a dance party to relax but it is so much fun.

Drink plenty of water, because I am sure if you are like me and get so focused on the task at hand you probably forgot to drink enough water on Thanksgiving or you had some adult drinks that can all dehydrate so it is time for hydration station 😊

Take this day to eat leftovers or just simple quick meals don’t do major cooking that was something for Thanksgiving today we are focusing on relaxing. However, if cooking is your way of relaxing, cook away 😊

There are many ways you can recharge your batteries; these are just a few ideas. What this post is meant to do is to remind you not to forget to take care of yourself during the holiday season, it is something that is easily forgotten but oh so important.
