Now more than ever it is so important to take time to recharge. I used to be such a go go go person but then I found myself sick and I was forced to relook at everything. I found that when I take time to take care of myself I can better take care of those around me and show up as my highest self.

This list consists of a few of my favorite things to do to recharge. 

How I Recharge:

  • I spend time alone-I used to have the worst FOMO. I was afraid of missing out on everything and now I embrace having time alone. I get my best ideas when I am alone. I also feel like when you are constantly around other people it is easy to get tied up in doing things you don’t want to do, in a way losing your identity quite a bit. I say this because this was me in my early twenties. When I am alone I am reminded of the things that bring me joy.
  • I value rest-I always strive for at least 7 hours a night. While this always does not happen I try my best. I am not going to lie, when I know I have to wake up early the next morning I often count backwards to see what time I need to be in bed to ensure I get my sleep, even if it means coming home from being out early.
  • I provide my body with nourishing foods that make me feel good-This is different for everyone but eating strictly gluten, dairy and soy free is what makes me feel my best. I think of food as energy.
  • Exercise-Anytime I am feeling drained I work out. This may seem contradicting quite a bit but it really helps me. 
  • I journal-Journaling is therapy to me. Every night before I go to bed I write down everything on my mind, this really helps me feel fresh and recharged. 
  • I do not look at my phone in the morning-I do my best to wait to look at the phone after I get to the gym or workout. If I do so before, I often feel tired.     
  • I do the things that I know energize me and make me feel so good-One of those things is going into the sauna or going on a date with just myself to lunch. Sometimes I have to force myself to do things that I know will make me feel better in the long run.
  • I make time for mindless activities-For me this is food photography, I love food photography because it forces me to relax.

About Allianna Moximchalk | Hi, I’m Allianna. A few years ago my friend introduced me to the paleo diet and since then it has changed my life! I went from taking over a dozen medications a day to managing all of my symptoms with diet and lifestyle. My mission is to help others do the same.

Hi, I’m Allianna. In my junior year of college I turned to Sarah Ballantyne’s Paleo Protocol and it saved my life. During that time I completely shifted and started to manage my autoimmune disease with food and lifestyle. Since then I have made it my mission to share my clean and real food recipes with you. On Allianna’s Kitchen you can expect to find paleo, Whole30, and AIP recipes as well as things I have learned along the way as my body has healed. I’m so excited to have you here.
