5 Self-Care Activities to Make You Feel Refreshed this Winter
The winter season may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s also one of the busiest times of the year. Whether you’re shoveling snow, cooking a homemade meal or traveling to a sunnier state, winter can come with added stress. Taking time for self-care is extremely important to help you feel refreshed all season long. Here are five tips you can implement into your self-care routine this winter.
One way to clear your head and let out your thoughts is through journaling. Setting aside a few minutes before going to bed is a great way to prioritize yourself. There are different ways to journal that can help you reflect. For example, gratitude journaling helps you appreciate what you have in your life, resulting in a more positive mindset. You can buy a guided gratitude journal or make it as simple as writing down three things you are grateful for each day.
Bullet journaling and journaling, in general, are other great ways to release the tangled thoughts in your mind at the end of the day. So, start a fresh journal this winter and allow yourself to see, on paper, what’s going on in your head.
Nothing is better than the feeling of warmth all around you on a cold winter night. We all loved baths as kids, but there is a newfound appreciation for them as adults. Drop a bath bomb into the tub, grab your favorite book and let music play in the background to enjoy the warmth and peace surrounding you. Plus, there are numerous benefits to taking a warm bath, such as relaxing your mind before bed and helping reduce body aches and pains.
Since winter is so busy, it’s essential to make sure you’re making time for yourself. We suggest doing one thing each day that is specifically for you. That can be anything from watching an episode of your favorite TV show to trying a new takeout place for dinner. It’s important to allow ourselves to find joy in each day. If it’s 10 minutes of reading a book before bed or doing some light stretching, we all have the power to make ourselves a priority.
With many of us working from home, it’s easy to forget to be physically active and spend time outside. So, throw on your cozy gear, head outside and get your blood pumping! Don’t put pressure on yourself to travel a certain distance. Do what feels right for your body. Since fresh outside air never fails to refresh the mind, you can do this any time during the day.
Increasing your water intake is a great form of self-care. There are a variety of benefits to drinking water that help both the body and mind. Not to mention, our skin, hair and nails are begging for hydration in the winter months.
Sometimes, especially when it is cold, we wish we could snap our fingers and have everything we need at our front door. Well, Absopure delivery does just that! You can have cold, crisp, delicious water delivered right to you without having to scrape the ice off your car.
These self-care tips are all practical ways to feel refreshed this winter. Pull out your favorite bath bomb and a journal and start making this the most wonderful time of the year—for yourself!
