Hi friends!<\/p>\n
Happy holidays!\u00a0 As we wrap up this holiday season and head towards the new year, we know this particular week can be one of super stress.\u00a0 Between running to numerous events for kids and family, work parties and church gatherings, volunteering and on and on and on, we folks with conditions like lipedema absolutely must find time and ways to simplify and reduce stress as much as we can.<\/p>\n
Here are a few tips that might help you to enjoy and relax during these last couple of holidays.\u00a0 We’ve almost made it!<\/p>\n
\n
Start your day off on the right foot. When you wake up in the morning, be sure to stop and put your compression and quality shoes on before you go, go, go.\u00a0 This will help you control swelling and keep your feet feeling good.\u00a0 Having tired and achy feet can really make your whole body feel crummy.<\/li>\n
Drink lots of water all day.\u00a0 This will help your swelling and also keep you feeling great for the holiday by avoiding sugary, caffeinated, and other drinks that weigh you down.<\/li>\n
Help yourself with good sleep hygiene this last two weeks.\u00a0 Do this by:\n
\n
Getting some sunlight in your eyes in the morning.<\/li>\n
Have a proper protein loaded breakfast near a window to let the sun in each morning.\u00a0 This helps set your circadian rhythm and give your a vitamin D boost for energy.\u00a0 Note that I said protein loaded breakfast too.\u00a0 Avoiding heavy carb breakfasts during stressful times can keep you on your A game with more consistent blood sugar levels and might keep you from having sugar crash naps.<\/li>\n
Speaking of napping, try to get some rest without sleeping each day, where you take a few minutes (up to 30) to lay down and read, or meditate, but not sleep.<\/li>\n
If you need to actually nap, set an alarm for 20-30 minutes so you avoid going into that super deep sleep and then waking up wondering what day it is.\u00a0 Refresh yourself but don’t overdo it and then walk around dazed and confused later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
Stay on top of your multi vitamin and supplements this week.\u00a0 Take a look at your selenium content (that daily Brazil nut) and magnesium content this week as well.\u00a0 I actually use a product called CALM, which is basically a magnesium supplement.\u00a0 It helps with stress for me immensely (PS – talk with your doctor before adding supplements).\u00a0 Whatever it is you take, don’t skip it this week due to time constraints.\u00a0 Take that minute and take them.\n
