With the cold weather and potential for grey skies (hello, West Coast), winter can be challenging for some of us. Here’s a list of simple wellness tips to keep yourself cheerful and beat the winter blues all season long.
Simple Winter Wellness Tips: Stay Healthy and Energized
1. Make a point to get outside and enjoy the daylight (while it lasts!)
We all wonder how much daylight remains during the winter months. Take half an hour for yourself during the daytime. Breathe some fresh air, get some rays, and get some movement. Unless it's really cold. Then just pretend you’re doing those things in the car.
Be careful not to bring snow inside or it could damage your floors. Fortunately, we are always here to give you some tips!
2. Plan winter activities outside of your home
Make plans to get out of the house. Find a hot spring. Visit a thrift shop. Go and cuddle in your favourite coffee shop and people-watch through the windows.
3. Brighten dark evenings with outdoor fairy lights
We all want the excuse to have these in or around our house. Winter is yours. Go and be as basic as you need to be this winter season.
4. Enjoy a cozy winter drink like Southern Comfort Eggnog
It’s been a long year. You deserve it.
5. Use a light therapy box for seasonal wellness
A good lightbox will mimic the sunlight we’re desperately missing these coastal winter months. You’ll think you’re on the beach (or in Calgary) in no time.
6. Boost your mood with cuddles from your best furry friend
Really, there’s nothing better than this. They may even let you be the little spoon.
7. Reduce winter stress with professional home cleaning - Book a home cleaning
Let's be real, how much do you actually want to go through your winter cleaning checklist? If you’re in Vancouver, Calgary, or Toronto, let our professional cleaning teams, using all-natural, organic cleaning products, handle the heavy cleaning this winter.
