Heyy!! School just started and I wanted to start eith less screen time and fun hobby's instead. But after school I'm really tired and all the motivation is gone, do you have some good advice to get motivated even when i'm tired?
Feeling tired after school is completely normal, especially if you've had a long day of learning and socialising. It's important to remember that it's okay to take some time for yourself to rest and recharge.
Here are a few tips to help you out:
- Take short power naps: if you're feeling really tired, a quick 20-minute nap can do wonders for your energy levels, but be careful with this as we want you to still get to sleep overnight!
- Get moving: even though it might be the last thing you feel like doing, some light exercise like going for a walk or doing some yoga can actually help boost your energy
- Stay hydrated: make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day to keep your energy levels up
- Have a healthy snack: sometimes a little pick-me-up in the form of a healthy snack can give you the energy you need to power through the rest of the day. For tips on choosing a healthy snack, take a look at this quick guide to balanced eating
- Set a bedtime routine: having a consistent bedtime routine can help you get a better night's sleep and wake up feeling more refreshed in the morning – check out our guide on how much sleep you really need if you want to learn more!
It's important to listen to your body and give yourself the rest you need – don't push yourself too hard, and try to find a balance between productivity and taking care of yourself 🌷
