Your body is wired to slow down in winter. You’re not lazy, you’re seasonal. And when we align with that, everything starts to work better.
FOUR TIPS FOR KEEPING WELL THIS WINTER 🌧
🏃♀️ Stay active even when it's cold outdoors //
It can be hard to summon the will to move your body when all you want to do is snuggle down and watch 90s sitcom reruns, but keeping active throughout winter is just as important! It's well known that exercise is beneficial, for so many reasons, and that doesn't stop just because the weather cools down. So bundle up and embrace the invigorating chill of winter! Your brain and body will thank you for it.
💦 Stay hydrated //
It’s easy to forget to drink water in the winter, but staying hydrated is still essential! Sip on herbal teas or warm water with lemon throughout the day. Hydration is going to keep things running smoothly internally (think digestion and lymph flow) as well as keeping your skin hydrated and radiant through the winter months.
🔥 Get cosy //
Create a warm and comforting home environment with soft blankets, candles, and cosy spaces. Embracing the Danish concept of hygge throughout winter can make this season feel more intentional.
👯♀️ Staying socially connected in winter //
Embracing social connections during the winter months isn't just a ‘nice to have’ it is a must for nurturing our emotional wellbeing and keeping those feelings of loneliness and isolation at bay. Making an effort to keep socially connected in winter not only strengthens our support networks, but it also helps to infuse our cold days with joy. Don't underestimate the power of a good chat or belly laugh during the colder months – your heart will thank you for it.
