Description

We are all familiar with the term, and many of us with the feeling of a hangover. 

It's when you have too many drinks and the next day, you feel less than your best. Perhaps a headache, tired, cranky, nausea.  Why? Because alcohol disrupts sleep, dehydrates you and usually leads to less willpower - like eating four unreal's. And you're detoxing. 

Unlike alcohol, an emotional hangover is harder to avoid. 

What is it?

An emotional hangover is when you are exposed to something that creates a lasting emotional affect or imprint. It can often cause bad dreams and you wake up with anxiety, dread, worry or don't even want to get out of bed. 

What causes it?

• TV!! Reality tv or things that are really troubling - and we often watch right before bed, which means our subconscious is trying to work through it…..instead of our own challenges, it is trying to solve fictional ones!
• Consuming too much news with a focus on the "world is falling apart". 
• An interaction with someone who is negative, passive aggressive or who triggers you. 
• A job you detest (20% of Americans hate their job ).

To Cure It:

• Meditate - clear the mental air!
• Practice Gratitude - gratitude is the medicine that treats anxiety!
• Exercise - Get your body moving. When blood flows, energy flows
• Get Outside - Vitamin D, blue skies and fresh air!
• Eat Healthy and enjoy it: eating poorly isn't going to improve how you feel
• Be creative or joyous: gives you perspective
• Get in action. Stop spinning your mental wheels. Especially if the hangover is from something that made you feel disempowered (politics or an encounter with a person), remind yourself of all of the ways you own your life.  

Does this mean you'll never do anything that gives you a hangover? NO! But it's about Being aware!
