The colder months can be a difficult time, with less sun and cooler temperatures keeping many people indoors. To mark World Mental Health Day this year, we’ve put together some tips to support your wellbeing throughout autumn and winter.
Hearty, warm, and homecooked meals are a staple of the colder season for a reason! Soups and casseroles packed full of nutritious goodies can be comforting and support your body’s immune system to fight off seasonal cold and flu. Indulge in the opportunity to play chef and experiment with new recipes or try a twist on an old favourite!
Sleep is important, especially if you work during the day as you may find yourself rising in the dark due to the shorter sunlight hours. Ensuring you have enough sleep at night will keep you well-rested and help you adjust to waking up without the sunlight. Sleep sprays and a good book can be great for encouraging you to drift off… but if you still find that you struggle, consider a sunlight alarm clock for a boost in the mornings.
It might not be the first thing you consider as nature begins to hibernate until the warmer months, but there’s still some jobs that can be tackled now in the garden to create a colourful flowery paradise come spring! This is the best time to plant bulbs, such as daffodils and alliums, which will begin to pop up in April. A mindful task such as gardening is relaxing and keeps you focused on the upcoming year.
