5 Tips To Help You Do Dry July With Ease
Participating in Dry July can be a rewarding experience both for your body and mind, and with the right approach it can be easier than you think. Here are five tips to help you navigate Dry July like a pro:
-
Plan Alternative Activities. Replace your usual habits where you would drink alcohol (such as going to a restaurant or bar) with new activities that you have always wanted to try, such as trying a dance class, having a movie or games night, or learning to cook new dishes or desserts at home.
-
Find a substitute drink to enjoy when you would normally drink alcohol. It’s easier to replace the habit of opening an alcoholic drink with a non-alcoholic drink than not drinking anything at all. Elta Ego contains bioactive adaptogens that help lift your mood and help you relax after a long day, instead of just being a flavoured drink.
-
Find someone to do Dry July with. Having someone else join you in the challenge can make it more fun and easier to do, and you can both come up with new things to want to try and goals you want to achieve such as losing some weight or improving your sleep.
-
Create a Reward System. Set goals throughout the month and reward yourself when you reach them. It could be a small treat or a new experience, something to look forward to as you progress. Some goal ideas are include losing weight, saving money and trying something new.
-
Reflect on the Benefits. Read about how drinking less can improve your health and wellbeing, from improved mental clarity to a better mood, to improving a health condition. You could also keep a journal to note any positive changes you experience, such as better sleep, more energy, or financial savings. Reflecting on these benefits can motivate you to continue.
Remember, Dry July is not just about giving up alcohol for a few weeks, it’s about improving your health and wellbeing so you can live a healthier, happier, longer life by reducing how much alcohol you drink. Stay focused on your goals, and you’ll find that you can enjoy the month with ease and a sense of accomplishment.
Good luck!
