Time Zones
They are great to regulate time on planet Earth. But when you cross a few of them all at once, it can be hard on your system.
Some people find it easier going East, but most seem to find it easier going West.
Sometimes it’s just the circumstances you find yourself in. Work, packing, playing can all add to the challenges.
I’m feeling it at the moment. The gravitational pull of my bed is strong. Yet morning comes very early.
How do you deal with it?

Enjoy The Outdoors
Get back to nature. Go for a walk in the park, go camping or hike a big mountain like Mount Kilimanjaro. Big adventure or around the corner, getting closer to nature, and keeping your phone in your pocket, is a great way to relax and refresh.

Take A Sense Check
A few times a year it is good to take a sense check and see if you are being the best you can be in your different relationships.
Are you being patient enough? Are you giving anyone too much leeway? Have you got the right boundaries in place to protect your values and precious time?
Could you be more grateful for the people in your life and what they do for you? How could you show your appreciation more?
Sometimes it is just a little adjustment in your tone, temper or tempo. It can make a world of difference and set you on a whole new course for your relationship.
It may not be that easy but, with practice and review, you will get better and your life will benefit greatly from this pit stop.

School Sports Days
If your child is having a school sports day, do what you can do to go. And when you are there, cheer on your child. Only positive vibes, praise and encouragement though.
Cheer on their friends too, even if they are on other teams. This isn’t the Olympics and all kids should have some cheering. For most people, it’s not often in life when people openly cheer for you.
Remind your children to thank the teachers, helpers, organisers, refs, coaches, timers, medic, etc. These people all helped to make this great day happen. You could go say a few thank you’s too. Nothing like good role modelling and a display of gratitude to people who deserve it (and probably greatly appreciate the acknowledgment).
Remember good sportsmanship and respect. Have a lot of fun. Watch your children, especially in every event possible. Encourage them and praise them often.
Help any children that aren’t feeling well or seem a little down. Check in on them and help them find their smile. Especially children for whom their parents or carers were unable to attend. Learn their names and then shout their name, support and encourage them and make them feel special and a part of the day.
Despite the protesting from your child or others that they do not want you to cheer, be embarrassing or shout their name, there is a little piece in side of them that is delighted that someone has noticed them.

Eat Less
Stop before you are full. Don’t snack. Or if you do, take 2-6 of the item and return the pack to the fridge or cupboard. Then, only eat what you took and walk away.
Drink a glass of water when you get out of bed. Have another one every time you go to have a snack or a meal.
Commit and stand tall and be proud of yourself for sticking to your plan each hour.
Move more too!

Flirt With Your Partner
After the initial mating rituals, this skill can get rusty. These can be simple gestures like a look, a smile, a tilt of the head, the raise of an eyebrow or a compliment even. These all add mental pleasure to a relationship. It is fun to give and receive and uplifting too!
Keep your relationship fresh and your spirit young. Flirt daily with your partner. And if you’re both a little rusty, have fun re-developing your skills. As you get older, these simple things are one of the few things you’ll be able to easily do and still get great joy from it. Start retraining today.
