Hi Friend, I hope this message finds you well! I'm sending this later in the week because of a technical issue over the weekend. Though the message was intended for "Fall Back" Sunday, the tips in this article are still pertinent: Why the Time Change Is Trickier When Working From Home (also here). A key recommendation is to get outside as early as possible and use light to your advantage. I've written about why morning light is so important as well as adjusting lighting in the evenings, but here's the gist: light is a critical cue for our bodies, and early exposure of about 30 mins is shown to promote alertness and productivity. The trick is that it must be outdoor light, even on an overcast day. Lighting also influences sleep and the timing of food cravings--a couple reasons why bright lighting in the evening should be avoided. Though merely sitting outside is helpful, going for a walk is even better! If you're not already doing the 10 Walks A Week Challenge, I urge you to join us and make a morning walk a priority. Here's a little more about the challenge and a few reasons to jump on the bandwagon. If you don't have a walking routine, check out this post for some inspiration: 5 Things To Do On Your Walks. If you're into podcasts (tip #2), I've got one to add to your queue below. There're also some easy, nourishing meal ideas that you can pull together when you get in from your evening walk. |
