Spring is coming soon, and with it the promise better weather, flowers and fun. Just as the isolation of winter months is ending, we have one of the top psychotherapists in the nation to remind people how to focus on positives and enjoy life. Psychotherapist and NY Times bestselling author Dr. Mike Dow is here to help get started on a path toward better physical and mental health. Whether it is adopting a daily routine, getting outside to exercise, taking time to disconnect or to try some new technology, Dr. Dow shares proven solutions designed to help develop new outlooks toward success at home, work and play.
A GOOD PLACE TO START
Start with sleep. Teenagers need at least 8 hours and adults under 60 need at least 7 hours of sleep. That means turning off devices and creating a perfect sleep environment. A top secret for getting a good night’s sleep is to refresh sleep routines with luxurious and fairly priced bamboo sheets and blankets from Bedsure. So often do people toss and turn throughout the night from being too hot or cold, but Bedsure can refresh a sleep routine with naturally cooling, hypoallergenic bamboo. Available through Amazon, enjoy up to 20% off on bamboo sheet and blankets in March.
SHAKING OFF THE WINTER BLUES
Just the anticipation of a trip can lift spirits. One suggestion for fighting the winter blues is to get inspired by a change in scenery that does not have to break the bank. For instance, a budget-friendly trip is just around the corner with Motel 6. Book that next spring getaway at one of the 1,400 locations across North America and become a My6 Rewards member to gain access to hundreds of promotions. Motel 6 is the leading economy brand and always offers a clean, comfortable and affordable place to rest, where kids and pets stay free. For more information, visit www.motel6.com
ADAPTING TO THE CHANGE IN TIME
Although everyone gains an extra hour of daylight, they also lose an hour of sleep, if we are not prepared. Try these 10 milligram melatonin gummies from Natrol, a leading sleep, mood and stress supplement brand. They trigger a natural sleep cycle to help anyone fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake rested and restored so everyone can spring forward this March, and every month after! Just take the correct dose 20-30 minutes before bed. Find them online or at retailers like Walmart, Walgreens and Target for under $12.
