HOW TO KEEP YOUR ENERGY IN WINTER? PART 2

To bounce back against the cold and the grey skies, nothing beats a strong mind and unshakeable morale! Here are some tips to keep moving forward and recharge your energy and well-being with the help of a collagen supplement.

Managing your emotions

Learn to manage your emotions. They are the guiding thread that shows you what you need to restore balance in your life — and therefore maintain your energy. To do this, become more aware of your emotions and try to find the positive in negative feelings by always asking yourself what you have learnt from the experience. Repeat this phrase often:

I never lose — I either win or I learn.

Managing your schedule

You also need to know how to manage your schedule and diary in order to find a better balance between your roles — as a woman, a partner, a mother, a businesswoman — and to find the connections that allow you to move from one sphere of life to another without feeling overwhelmed. Create little "decompression zones" to recharge: why not listen to music, meditate, or treat yourself to a manicure or a massage?

Staying positive

Also think about surrounding yourself with people who wish you well and who radiate positivity. Distance yourself from toxic people. Psychologists and doctors agree: this is essential for regenerating your energy. Try to focus on solutions rather than problems, and keep your sense of humour no matter what.

Managing stress

Taking a few minutes to meditate, practise breathing exercises, or relax helps reduce stress and improves concentration and energy levels.

Taking care of yourself is also an excellent way to protect your well-being during autumn. Hot baths and cosy moments are absolutely essential.

Recharging energy and well-being

For this, you need a balanced, nutrient-rich diet.

Favour seasonal fruit and vegetables: Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they strengthen the immune system. Squash, carrots, cabbage, and apples are perfect choices.

Think about protein: To maintain energy and repair muscles, eat lean proteins such as chicken, fish, legumes, or tofu.

Also choose superfoods to build resilience: Honey, ginger, turmeric, and berries promote good vitality and help fight off minor winter ailments.

Exercise regularly

Even if the cold can be discouraging, physical activity (walking, running, yoga, etc.) helps stimulate blood circulation and release endorphins that boost mood and energy.

To ease muscular tension — often made worse by the cold — incorporating stretching or gentle yoga sessions after exercise is important.

Even when the temperature drops, getting some fresh air regularly means exposing yourself to natural light, which is essential for morale, and staying active. Reconnecting with nature is vital.

With these habits, you should be able to maintain your energy and well-being even as the days shorten and the cold sets in.

Maintaining a good sleep routine

Try to keep a stable sleep schedule with regular times, even if the reduced daylight tempts you to go to bed earlier. The lack of natural light can disrupt your circadian rhythm, so don't hesitate to expose yourself to light in the morning.

Consider taking short naps. If you feel tired, opt for naps of 20–30 minutes maximum so as not to disrupt your night-time sleep.

Staying properly hydrated

Hydration is just as important in autumn as in summer. Herbal teas (such as chamomile, peppermint, or green tea) can both hydrate and warm you up. Infusions and soups are highly recommended.

Even if the urge to drink water is less strong in winter, staying well hydrated is essential to maintaining your energy levels.

Finding your motivation

But nothing generates more energy than knowing what motivates you: identify what inspires you in your work or at home. Look for what brings you joy, what makes your heart beat faster. Put it into words and dare to nurture that desire.

Cultivating your well-being

Also remember to take a daily dose of collagen (at least 10 grams), which will help you forget your body's aches and pains and allow you to focus intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally on your life and those around you. Benefit from the properties of marine collagen for your skin, hair, joints, muscles, and tendons. Feel better in your body and more energetic. You will notice a clear difference before and after.

Other dietary supplements if needed

As sunlight decreases, vitamin D reserves drop. If necessary, supplementation may be considered to prevent fatigue and a weakened immune system. Ask your pharmacist.

Magnesium is useful for combating fatigue and stress, and can be found in foods such as dried fruit and whole grains, or as a dietary supplement available from pharmacies.
