New Years' and holidays are joy and sadness at the same time. On the one hand, you can finally relax, take a breath and start looking forward to a new life period. But this medal usually has a downside: on it, you will be oversaturated with emotions, a complete failure of the regime, and the inability to quickly pull yourself together and return to normal life.

We have collected here five simple, but effective ways to arrange an express reboot and recover. Use it for your health!

Workout

Physical activity helps to restore the usual rhythm of life, which in the New Year holidays decreases at times for everyone. Moreover, sport is not even so much for breaking up calories after the New Year's mayonnaise diet, but for producing endorphins and raising vitality.

Go to the gym or swim in the pool, go jogging again (if your city has not been covered with snow up to the knee), work out with fitness for an online lesson or get out to your favorite yoga studio - that's up to your taste.

You can warm up and put your thoughts in order during training in any way. The main thing is not to overdo it - it is better to enter the rhythm after a long weekend without haste and without strain. Keep your workout less intense and longer than usual, but more mindful and thoughtful.

Have a home spa day

Recovering for some is about a shake-up, and for others, about gentle self-care. If you really don't feel like running, swimming or stretching on the rug, the best solution would be to arrange a day of home beauty treatments. Take a fragrant bath, try new belongings and masks, smear yourself with moisturizing creams - this is an excellent unloading for the skin (after all, it quietly suffered from heavy holiday dishes and glasses of sparkling wine), and for an emotional restart, that's it. And La Roche-Posay EVA cosmetics will be a good gift for yourself for gentle facial care.

A pacified home SPA day is generally an excellent remedy for the stress of a city dweller - remember this more often.

Take a short trip


We would not be us if we didn't say that in any incomprehensible situation we need to go somewhere. And in order to restart and tune in to a working mood - too. On such a short journey, you can finally take a break from people (especially if you go to nature), clear your head, and be inspired for new achievements. There are plenty of places to drive to: on a short but busy route around the outskirts of your city, on a nature trail or to a secluded corner, to a winter snow-covered forest or the nearest wildlife sanctuary. Or you can take a ride to your favorite ruins, which you have never seen under the snow, or to a lovely town to see how it was decorated for the holidays. This is usually very inspiring, and on the road many new ideas are often born.

Well, if there is no way to go far, even a walk in the park will do. You will creak with snow, take pictures of trees and maybe even meet a bullfinch! Isn't it a reboot?

Sit down planning the year

A way for those who experience anxiety from being in some kind of transitional moment: last year and the holidays are over, a new period has not yet begun, and the prospects for a year are vague. Dispelling this fog by writing down your Napoleonic plans in a brand new diary is great for jumping into the work track.

There are several dozen different ways to plan the year (don't be lazy to google): you can make entries in a free diary form, use the Bullet journal method, or take notes in special services and applications. Think about what work goals you set for yourself this year, what new you will strive to learn, what else to try yourself in and what to work out from emotional and psychological needs.

Perhaps your main goal for this year is fewer goals? Remember that planning is about listening to yourself and understanding exactly what you would like, and not about inventing the incredible, which makes you even more frustrated. Plan with love for yourself.

Have a day of silence and detox

And detox from everything: food, alcohol, meetings, shopping and gifts, hustle and bustle. Be at home for the first time in all these days. Perhaps you want to do the cleaning and take off the tinsel and jewelry, or go through the stocks in the refrigerator in order to smoothly return to your usual diet, or disassemble the wardrobe to understand that you will no longer wear it in the new year. Household chores really do an excellent job of cleaning your head.

Or maybe you just decide to lie on the couch with a book, watch a smart movie or do handicrafts. The main thing is not to get carried away with social networks and do not drown in news and content - this does not allow you to concentrate on yourself and your personal plans and thoughts.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
