Wellness is a lifestyle approach that includes activities, practices and choices that support your physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Wellness can be beneficial for your quality of life as it helps improve your happiness, health & overall well-being.
Throughout the winter months, our physical and mental health can be affected by the shorter days, darker evenings, and colder weather. As the colder seasons arrive, you might experience lower energy levels, mood changes, reduced motivation to get outdoors, and difficulty maintaining your usual routine.
Shifting your focus towards wellness as autumn and winter set in can support your health and help reduce the impact of the seasons on your well-being. In this blog, we share some practical ideas on how to support your wellness this season.
Ways To Add Wellness To Your Winter
Exercise
Regular exercise included in a winter routine can often help improve mood, increase self-esteem and boost energy levels. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor activities you could try, such as walking, yoga and strength workouts.
Learn
Learning a new skill or trying something new offers stimulation that can enhance an individuals overall mental health. By focusing on something new, you get the opportunity to add purpose to the season, improve your cognitive function and gain a sense of achievement. There are many ways you could bring learning into the season, such as starting a new hobby, deepening your knowledge about an equestrian topic or developing a new practical skill.
Connect
Socialising is positive for wellness as it can help relieve winter isolation, encourage conversations and promote connection. To connect with others this season, you could join your local riding club, organise a ride with a friend or catch up on a countryside walk.
Eat Well
Maintaining a good routine and eating well is important for a healthy lifestyle and positive for overall well-being. By focusing on maintaining a balanced diet, you can help ensure you have the right amount of fruits, vegetable & proteins to keep you healthy throughout the autumn and winter season.
