Cheer up! We're still feeling those post-holiday blues too. September is a month of transition, but October is here, and it's time to get back into good habits and routines. Your body and mind are crying out for it, and it'll help you feel motivated and start the new season on the right foot.
1 – Set a schedule
Summer throws everything off: different working hours, longer days, more plans, and a diary that's all over the place. A regular schedule helps you look after your physical and mental health. Get some order back into your life – at least Monday to Friday – by setting times for work, meals, exercise and rest.
2 – Eat well
It's not about going on a strict diet and denying yourself every treat. It's about eating a healthy, balanced diet that gives you the vitamins and nutrients you need to get through the day in a good mood and with plenty of energy. Because yes, "you are what you eat" – inside and out. That said, if you've been thinking about going on a diet, now's the time; waiting until summer is round the corner again isn't a great idea. And if you do, make sure it's under the guidance of a professional.
3 – Get moving
Pick a sport you enjoy, set yourself some goals and get started. As well as getting you in shape, exercise helps relieve stress and lowers the risk of many illnesses. And if you're already thinking up excuses, forget it: gyms are full of offers at this time of year, so make the most of them!
4 – Smarten up
With a tan, it's easy to get a bit relaxed about your look – and let's be honest, a tan does suit you. But now that the colour is starting to fade, why not treat yourself to a beard trim, a haircut or a grooming treatment? No particular reason – just to start the season feeling sharp.
5 – Look after your face
Nobody's asking for a superhuman effort – but come on, the bare minimum! Keeping your skin healthy, clean and hydrated should be a fixed part of your routine. There's a world of difference between looking fresh and looking worn out. Remember, other people have to look at your face every day – at the office, at after-work drinks or at home – and so do you, every time you look in the mirror. And as you know, we've got just the products to keep you looking your best 😉
Follow these five tips to get back into your routine in style, look and feel your best, take on the daily grind with the right attitude and make this season a success.
