Energy, a good mood, enthusiasm-are all synonymous with Christmas, at least they are in the films!

Energy as flat as a pancake, irritability, and a “can’t be bothered attitude” are quite unwelcome to be around Christmas time, those “qualities” certainly don’t add to the atmosphere!

Here’s a fact, if you want more good energy, be in a good mood most of the time as well as infectious enthusiasm, you NEED to be working out most days, you need fresh air every day and 80% of what you eat needs be as natural as possible (still giving you plenty of room to have what you fancy over Christmas).

If you want poor energy levels, be snappy to everyone around you and be moaning all the way through Christmas, then I urge you to eat rubbish all the way through, have a big drinking session every day and then lay on the settee all day moaning about how your head hurts.

Nothing wrong with a few drinks, but next day get out for some fresh air straight away, drink plenty of water and get some good food in you, and there’s nothing wrong with a nap the next day too, it will actually help you and all of this will revitalise you and stop you being the Christmas Grinch, however “heroic” that lifestyle is portrayed in the pub (by some).

Having fun is important, but flushing out all the rubbish along the way is a great strategy not only for your body, but to keep you in a great mood and help you enjoy yourself far more than those who usually moan all the way through it!!

Monday 18th December

Being a year round gym matters and is emphasised more than ever right now.

As the winter solstice and the short day of the year happens thursday, dark forces threaten to take over our minds. 8am darkness plus 4pm darkness threatens our human sense of safety and brings us closest to the feeling of hibernation we could possibly get.

The problem though as humans is that we rely on other external “full of life” forces to keep us strong, to keep our mind in a good place and to give us a sense that we are control of our lives, rather than “life happening to us” and surrendering to those feelings.

The external full of life forces I’m talking about are daily fresh air, and you aren’t a “freak” for wanting it every day, whoever tells you that should be treated as a dark force not wanting the best for you.It is true i told the Coop last week that 80% of what they sell is not good for you and “rubbish” (told them not to take it personally!) and full of chemicals, but this is true of ALL supermarkets as the food industry makes much more money selling us mass produced versions of “food” that can often last for months.

Your full of life foods are the simplest ones, the ones that endless chemicals have NOT been added to, and the plainer you keep your food the better (just like your grandparents likely did), if you want to feel better and indeed feel “full of life”.

Thanks to so many of you who showed up again today, realising what good health really is and well done on you doing so wonderfully well all year long too.Christmas means many things to many people of course, but we must cherish health above everything else, because without it, all the stuff we really want to happen in life isn’t possible.
