Post-Diwali Blues: 5 Inspiring Ways To Sustain The Celebratory Spirit In Your Daily Life

While we all have been high on energy over the last month of festivities, it’s finally time to get your life back on track.

With overindulgence in food, partying and shopping, we all have been on a festive high during the festivities last month, be it during Navratri or recently during Diwali. And if you have not done so, you are either in denial or you are someone with a very strong will power. Nonetheless, the build up around Diwali is huge, and all the enthusiastic people end up celebrating it to the fullest. Ofcourse, it means eating a lot of high-calorie food, staying up late at night or missing your workout sessions. And when all this ends, we all face what is called the post-Diwali blues. So what now?

Since the post-Diwali blues ends up leaving everyone gloomy, you cannot disregard the fact that now it's time to get back taking care of your health, and even skin and hair. So, check out five inspiring ways to help your body, health and mind rejuvenate and eventually, sustain that festive spirit in your everyday life as well.

1. Get a dose of sound sleep

After the festivities are over, it's recommended to go back to your daily sleep routine since you’ve passed nights sleeping less hours than usual. So try and make up for the sleep that you've lost while staying up late partying. It is certain that sleep is the best way to get rid of low-energy, and once you get a dose of sound sleep, you’ll feel as normal as you could and go on in life with a good spirit.

2. Return to your workout sessions

Your fitness regime might have gone for a toss during Diwali, but not working out and eating oily and calorie-rich foods might be dangerous for your overall health. Hence, once Diwali is over, you will have to work extra hard to shed those extra kilos. Go for brisk walks, end up climbing stairs or stretching at regular intervals to get back in shape.

3. Focus on mindful eating

After indulging in oil-rich food items and calorie-laden sweets, stay away from anything that is deep-fried or extremely sweet. Cut off oil and sugar for some days, and increase your intake of fibre and fruits.

4. Go for a post-Diwali pampering session

The Diwali festivities might have left your skin tired and hair under-nourished. Hence, many salons and spas offer post-Diwali treatments to not only detoxify your skin, but also rejuvenate your mind and body. You can opt for foot treatments, facials or a simple oil massage to feel like yourself again.

5. Wrap up your pending tasks

With festivities around the corner, one sort of feels drifted away from personal and professional tasks. So, after Diwali time is over, it’s imperative to wind up those incomplete tasks.

With these simple steps, you can get back to your normal routine and cut off post-Diwali blues in no time.
