4 Ways to Motivate Yourself in 2009

January 4, 2009 By 7 Comments
A man standing looking at a sunset with his arms outstretched.

Today I want to write about a topic that I feel is quite important if you want to succeed at anything – motivation.  Whether it's a fitness plan, a new diet, being good at your job or anything else in life you need to be motivated to succeed.  In my last post I discussed my fitness resolutions for 2009.  What I failed to mention in that post is the need for motivation in all of them.  Writing a list and saying you want to do this, this and this is easy.  However, actually having the motivation to do the things on that list is not so simple.  To explain this concept further I want to … [Read more...]

December 20, 2008 By 2 Comments

In my last few articles I have been discussing how our mood often suffers at Christmas.  Not only do we have the stress of organising gatherings with family and friends, buying presents and the cold weather to deal with but we also have an increased chance of catching the common cold or the flu.  On top of this research has shown that the lack of sunlight in the winter months can lead to a type of winter depression called Season Affective Disorder (SAD).  However, it's not all doom and gloom.  There are a number of things you can do to ensure your mood stays positive over the festive … [Read more...]

The Importance of Getting Enough Sleep this Christmas

December 14, 2008 By 7 Comments

In the winter getting out of bed in the morning becomes decidedly trickier.  Instead of waking up to clear blue skies and bright sunlight we often wake up to dark, cold, wet weather.  However, it's not just the weather that makes us want to stay in bed.  Research suggests that our circadian rhythms change over the winter months.  In this article I will be discussing why you may feel like staying in bed all day over the Christmas period, what you can do to get yourself up bright and early and why quality sleep is so important at this time of year. As I mentioned above the urge to stay in … [Read more...]

The holidays are meant to be a time of joy and happiness where people come together and enjoy the presence of family and friends. However, this is not the case for everyone. For some people the reduced daylight hours and the lack of sunlight actually cause them to develop a form of depression called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). In this article I will be discussing SAD in greater detail and hopefully help you avoid the condition this Christmas. According to SADA, SAD affects approximately 7% of the UK population each year between the months of September and April. It is particularly … [Read more...]

Worrying is part of everyday life and it is inevitable that sometimes we will start to feel anxious about certain areas of our lives. By worrying it shows that we care about our personal well being and are giving it serious thought. For example, by worrying about our performance at work it shows that we want to excel in this area. However, for some people worry becomes a serious mental affliction and starts to take over their lives. They live with constant misplaced worry and anxiety over just about any possible scenario such as; the things people say and do, the things people may do to … [Read more...]
