This in-between time can feel odd. Days are mixed up, routine gone, the stabilisers we often have, like exercise days, are simply different or not there at all. It can easily be a time we fall into a little abyss. And an abyss can often be unhealthy for those of us who are best with a hum-drum stability.

So let’s run a wee list of what keeps us on track through the muddled days in-between celebrations.

1. Start the day with something predictable. That can be a normal breakfast at a normal time. A walk. A swim. If you don’t feel like it, do it anyway if it’s your norm.

2. Limit open ended free time. Your mind and body will thank you.

3. Go outside after eating. Did you know that even a ten minute walk after eating can send blood sugar in the right direction, whereas not walking can leave it elevated and start a rollercoaster response.

4. Doing something restful doesn’t always mean putting your feet up and napping. It can be extremely restful to spend a little time on something you adore.

The list goes on. If you have something we all might benefit from, please add to this list.
