Don’t worry, here you’ll find 6 ways you can look after yourself this Autumn.
Consider taking a vitamin D supplement
We get most of our vitamin D intake from the sun, but as it’s Autumn/Winter and the amount of daylight we get is massively decreased, it’s not as easy to get your daily intake. If you’re not getting out much this season then consider a vitamin D supplement to help boost your immune system and your mood! Speaking of your immune system…Give your immune system a boost
Drinking plenty of water, washing your hands regularly to avoid all those sickness bugs and viruses and eating lots of fruit, vegetables and nutritious foods will help keep those illnesses at bay.Make some winter plans
We all tend to hibernate during the colder months of the year, even more so if we have nothing to do. Making plans during the winter months will get you out of the house, will get you socialising, keep you busy and keep your mood boosted. Heading out in the wind and rain might not seem pleasant at the time but once you meet those plans you’ll be glad you did.Moisturise
We all know the effect winter and cold weather has on our skin. So, try to add a little indulgence to your daily skin routine. Whether you’ve just got out of the bath, you’re getting ready for the school run or heading to the office, apply a thick, indulgent moisturiser that’s rich in hydrating properties. Your skin will thank you.Stay active
Heading to the gym or breaking out the yoga mat at home when the baby is napping or when you have a spare five minutes in your schedule doesn’t seem like fun. But moving your body and keep active will not only boost your physical health, but your mental health too. Exercising reduces stress, gets the blood pumping and will make you feel good. You don’t even have to do anything specific – raking leaves in the garden counts!
Listen to your body
You’re a busy parent, with commitments and never ending errands to run, but during the cold months of the year, the shorter days and longer nights can cause low moods, the flu seasons causes sickness and daylight saving time can ruin your sleep pattern. Listen to your body and try to give it what it needs.
