Jetlag
I'm back from my trip to Bali and jetlag has been kicking my butt this week.
I always struggle with it, but this time was bad. Coming back to dark, snowy London probably didn't help and of course forgetting to eat (something I've been doing over and over) makes everything worse. That being said, going away for Christmas was one of the best ideas I've ever had so I won't let it put me off.
With all the Christmas and New Year holidays, it worked out that I had five days to recover before life officially started again in 2026 but we're almost two weeks down and I'm only just starting to feel normal again.
My biggest learning is this: upon return, I was completely out of whack on my day to day routines. Working from bed, afternoon naps and random headaches; but I'm taking this self awareness as a good thing. Before my trip, I was understanding more and more how important my routines are so this experience has simply reinforced that. With this knowledge, I've been making an effort to listen to my body and do all the little things I know will help.
I did a big food shop yesterday and have been making sure to eat breakfast before 10am. I took a couple of mornings off of work which really helped and have made sure to get out of the house at least once a day, even if its cold. Yoga on Sundays, Volunteering on Wednesday and Therapy on Thursdays. Slowly but surely, I feel like I'm coming back to life!
