#winter wellbeing

[elaurian-neuroqueering]

This time of year can be so hard for so many reasons. As we head into December and the longest, coldest, darkest nights in the Northern Hemisphere, I encourage you to seek glimmers all the harder. And, no matter what meaning or not you give the coming season, try to find ways to make the days ahead warmer and brighter for yourself and others.

I'm going to really try and practice what I preach, too!

reminders

remember to take care of yourself:

fuel your body: try eat healthy/seasonly, if you like soups they’re a great way of eating veg and make a cosy lunchtime meal 

get plenty sleep and stay hydrated especially during party season

wrap up warm when you’re out and about, if you’re questioning taking that coat/scarf then take it

take vitamins to help your body through the colder weather, echinacea is also a winter must-have as it helps to prevent colds

find some comfortable + waterproof winter boots/shoes + a winter coat to stop yourself from getting cold or soaked

if you’re on limited hours of daylight, then try to spend some of it outside or at least near windows

take extra good care of your skin - try your best to moisturise daily + use a lip balm to avoid chapped lips

rest over winter break - your body needs time to relax!

allow yourself to have treats during the holidays

if you’re always cold then take a hot drink flask with you when you’re on the go

find indoor hobbies for when it’s too cold: reading a book? watching movies? board games? baking? 

if you get ill then take some time to rest, that’s your body’s way of telling you to slow down

Day 25

Today I spoke with Steph about having a hand in organising the Winter Open Day. This is an awesome opportunity, as one of my units within First4Skills is to participate in a project. We need to communicate with Susan Gooding and Katy Gillingham to help decide what stalls we will try to arrange, as well as getting some media involved to advertise the event.
