This should really go under, "innkeeper sanity tips".
Anyway, a few little things I discovered lately that are helping me gear up for high season, wanted to share with those of you that have exhaustion and pain issues, like me!
#1 Yoga, I've been going daily, it is really helping, got a monthly pass, like a gym membership. I go right after breakfast, DH doesn't argue, he knows it will extend his life. Come back, the inn is still there and so are the chores.
#2 A neti pot... you've seen them on TV? They work. I live in the high desert and for about the last 18 months suffered from extremely dry nasal passages, often bloody (sorry), painful, and allergies. With all the cleaning we do, the Neti process cleans out all the dust from Spring cleaning, dirt from gardening, allergens, and no more bloody nose. It's cleared up the post nasal drip (which helps with my singing) and I didn't get the sinus infection/bronchitis I usually get with the last cold I caught, didn't even have to take any meds like sudafed.
#3 Delta Sleep System. Often at the end of the day I am WOUND!
I downloaded this delta sleep system mp3 and I let it run all night on my cd player, it really helps me sleep soundly, when I am having trouble sleeping. After a few nights of listening to it, I can fall asleep very quickly.
#4 Coconut Milk Yogurt. Sounds weird, it's delicious and does not taste like coconut (unless you get coconut flavor) As a singer, avoiding dairy, I missed yogurt, Now I can have yogurt, with all the beneficial bacteria, calcium, no congestion, and for those who are lactose intolerant it's great. Your vegan/no dairy guests will love it. Low-cal, not too high in fat (6g) wish it had more protein, but if you can't have the real thing, it's a great substitution. Comes in a bunch of flavors, my fav is strawberry banana.
Anyone else want to share their self-helps as we head into high gear?
