Slump Busters

Raise your hand if, no matter how energetic and prepared for the week you are on Monday, by Wednesday you feel sluggish and maybe even slightly bummed out. If you are like me and the five people in my unscientific survey, the mid-week slump is at least a mild struggle in your week-to-week existence. There is however a cure for your Wednesday blues—or any blues for that matter. As we say goodbye to 2014 and hello to 2015, it’s a good time to remember that a little adventure and self-care does the body good. There is no need to wait until the weekend to plan something fun and energizing to look forward to in the middle of the week. Below is a list of activities to help you get started on busting the slump. Whether it’s Wednesday or not, apply as needed:
