5 Pro Tips for Music Festival Recovery
After a long weekend of festing, it’s easy to feel worn out, over stimulated, and ready to move into a vegetative state for AT LEAST three days. But, if you’re like me, then you know it’s not always possible to take that much time away from life (school, work, children, etc.). It’s essential to have a quick recovery after a long weekend of running around and minimal amounts of sleep. So, I’m sharing my top 5 tips for a speedy music festival recovery.
1. Get your shit put away!
I’m terrible with this step usually, but when I do follow it, my life is sooo much less stressful! My excess of clothing and accessories after events is usually really overwhelming- especially when I’m already tired to boot.
By cleaning or at least moving items to their designated spots to be put away brings me a little more sanity and it becomes less of an overwhelming feeling! This goes for clothing, accessories, and gear!
2. Quick, Full Body Yoga session
Although moving a lot is usually LAST on my list after a festival, I know it’s so important to keep my limbs as loose as possible! I always go for a quick, full-body yoga session once I’ve cleaned up the house and feel like it’s time to start winding down.
Not only is it a great way to reflect on the weekend, but it’s also a great start to making space to prepare for the week ahead. I personally love Yoga with Adrienne, myself. Something about getting my favorite yoga mat out is so centering.
3. Epsom Salt Bath
Your muscle really take a beating after a long weekend of music festivals so giving them a load off is really important. An Epsom salt soak will alleviate the build up lactic acid in your muscles and sweat out any toxins.
I personally love these Epsom salts, but you can find a great option anywhere! I also highly recommend the pink Himalayan salt is also a great option.
4. intense, Skin Care
5. Indulge in healthy treats
If you follow these steps, you’ll be back to feeling 100% in no time! These are tried and trusted steps that will help your body focus on rejuvenating and relaxing again. Always make sure you’re listening to your body and give it what it needs! Post-music festival recovery is just as important as pre-music festival preparation.
