It’s not always easy to change gear when the months go from bright to brrrr, especially in this crazy time. So here are our FIVE TOP SELF-CARE HABITS to help you neatly sidestep any seasonal depressions that may be laying in wait for you.
Yes, things have been rough for everyone - the bottom line is that it is up to you, to do what you can with what you have from where you are right now. In other words, just because the weather is miserable, doesn’t mean you should be! But you do need to allow your body to slow down a little bit, as it is a natural cycle of life and fighting it can never do you any good in the long-term, as it only harms the body. If you go with the winter flow, you will find yourself naturally surviving the cold, until you can get into the spring flow again! |
Selfcare Suggestion #1: SLOW DOWN
It is natural as the weather cools, to feel a little slower than in the warmer weather. Learn to listen to your body, and instead of pushing it with caffeine and so-called discipline, allow yourself to be a little more gentle with yourself, and to go a little slower. Your body is wonderfully in tune with the seasons, and as the days get shorter there are a number of natural changes that occur: • The metabolism ratchets down a little • Energy levels drop somewhat • The body benefits from more sleep. |
