Raring2go! 13 With the kids back in school, here’s why September is the perfect time to focus on yourself. By the time September’s in full swing, the school holidays can feel like a distant memory. Six weeks of juggling children, work, and endless activities leave many parents and guardians feeling drained. The breakthrough? September isn’t just for kids - it can be your reset too. Now, with the kids settled back into their routines, it’s the perfect opportunity to create one of your own — one that prioritises YOU! Why it matters When the summer chaos fades, it’s tempting to simply collapse into the rhythm of school runs, work, and chores. But this season offers a unique chance to set an intention for yourself: to become your strongest, most energised self. Looking after your health isn’t selfish - it’s the foundation that allows you to show up with patience, confidence, and energy for your family. Real Life Results One Hornchurch mum, juggling work and two children at primary school, told us: “I was exhausted after the summer holidays and thought I had no time for myself. But with a few simple changes, I have more energy than ever. I only wish I’d started sooner.” Your turn Now’s the time to set yourself up to feel your strongest this school year ahead — so whether it’s next summer’s holiday or next school sports day, you can show up as your strongest, most energised self! Exclusive for Raring2go! readers: Scan the QR code to take our FREE Energy and Longevity Quiz and discover how you can reset your energy this Autumn. You’ll also get the chance to book a free Lifestyle Consultation with our friendly coaches if you’d like extra support. Back-to-School, Back-to-You! Small steps, big difference The good news is you don’t need hours in the day to feel better. Just a few simple habits can reset your energy: Short workouts, lasting results: Even short workouts two to three times a week can help you feel stronger, more confident and energised. Power Walk with Purpose: A brisk walk after drop-off clears your head and boosts mood. Double-dinner hack: Cook one extra healthy meal on Sunday and freeze portions - you’ll thank yourself midweek.
