In a bad way?

I get it, when things are at their toughest you want to drink, comfort eat, hide in bed, watch junk TV or porn or scroll social media endlessly…

But all these things do is make you feel worse…

You don’t want to feel this way all the time do you? Who would?

But if you constantly feed your body and brain with sh!t, expect to feel like sh!t, all the time!

And if you always feel like sh!t, you’ll want to keep indulging in the destructive habits that temporarily make you feel better…

So what can you do?

Focus on sleep

It’s so important to your overall health & wellbeing. Yes, the usual crowd will say “it’s not that easy for me because….” but, are you even trying??!?

Poor sleep affects your mood, cognition and decision making processes the next AND it can make you overeat. This then affects your sleep again and you’re stuck in a vicious cycle

Limit the drinking!

No benefit to boozing at all, it ruins your sleep (see above), f*cks with your liver and hormones and disrupts your immune system. Another destructive cycle you can get stuck in

80/20 Split

Eat nutritionally dense, fibrous, natural foods 80% of the time, high in protein, and also eat whatever the hell you want 20% of the time. This way you don’t restrict yourself, but you also don’t wake up 20lbs heavier in 3 weeks time, which will make you feel even worse

While you’re at it, hydrate like a mofo!

10,000 Steps

If you haven't got the energy and motivation to get to the gym ( although I think you should still go), at least get outside and walk. 10,000 steps spread across the day can be done in about an hour. No excuse. You get the blood pumping, it clears your head, even better if it’s in nature, and it’s a complete change of scenery.

Meditate

10 minutes a day, PROVEN to be one of the best things for your mental health.

You end up with more energy, more positivity, you look better, you feel better, you don’t get ill. It’s THE fastest path to recovery

If you don’t change what you are doing, you’ll get what you’ve always got. And if you don’t like what you’ve got, why the hell would you want more?

Yes it’s that simple. No it’s not easy, but doing nothing is so much tougher…
