Winter blues hitting you especially hard after the holidays? You're not alone! Here are our top 5 ways to help regulate your nervous system and move through this season.
1. Get Outside Every Day: Whether it's 10 minutes or an hour, fresh air works wonders on our bodies and helps us get grounded.
2. Practice Being Present: Whether through meditation, journaling, expressing gratitude, making a plan for your week, or simply taking a few breaths, being present means you're more in tune with your body and your needs.
3. Participate in Community Activities: Anything from free support groups, volunteering opportunities, playing your favorite board game with friends, to joining a book club. Find something to stay connected to, even when you're feeling down.
4. Talk to a Loved One & Stay Connected: Let those in your circle in on how you're feeling, and lean on one another for support and connection.
5. Do Something That Fills Your Cup: Let yourself do that thing you've been saying no to, whether that's taking a nap, reading that book, playing basketball, learning to crochet, or eating your favorite meal. Whatever that thing is, give yourself permission to enjoy it.
