Everybody starts hitting the gym in January to get their body "spring break ready." We all love the beach and feeling confident in our bikinis, but once we get there and even just leading up to break, can we stop being so serious about dieting for all the Insta pics?
I get working out and being healthy are super important for making you feel your best. But if you are actually getting stressed about it, IT'S NOT WORTH IT. Go back to your old diet.
Life is so stressful, between everyday things both big and small. For some people, working out is a great way to de-stress and feel healthy.
But if you are taking the diet and daily workouts too seriously, drop one or both.
A great aspect of being in the sun is vitamin D, which has also been found to make you happier! So just getting to spring break and spending some time in the sun de-stresses you.
Once you've made it to spring break, you will already feel better. So why don't you just eat a pizza and chill out? I promise it won't completely wreck your body, just eat some pizza and relax.
Enjoy your break and love your body. Don't try to fix what isn't broken in the first place.
There's a difference between choosing a better lifestyle because you want to live healthier, and doing something just to look better for spring break.
Spring break is one of the last mental "breaks" you get before finishing out another year of school. Whether the beginning of the semester is rough or great, ENJOY every second of a mental tap-out that you can.
