My survival tips/goals for this semester have been (1) see sunshine and (2) don't give up on exercise. I let this slip all through September and I was starting to feel really not myself. I realized I needed to get more sunshine. Literally, get outside when it's not dark out - for a walk, errands, lunch, anything. I brought my bike to school and started leaving mid-day to ride outside, shower at the gym, and then return to school.
I also realized (admitted to myself?) that if I don't exercise first thing in the morning, it's less likely that I will exercise. Funny how will power works and how long it lasts. But, once I admitted to myself that I should plan to workout in the morning, I've had much better success staying on the exercise band-wagon. So strange that I am perfectly happy to get up early and just head to the gym on autopilot, waking up sometime in the middle of my workout, but that if I leave it to the end of they day, I can't pull myself together. Also, it seems like I am equally tired at 5 p.m. whether I have exercised in the morning or not... so I might as well exercise!
Anyway, if you're looking to get your life back in balance, I recommend sun and exercise.
Happy Friday!
