Days are getting colder and shorter. There’s no better time to put together ideas of some self care and ways to lift your mood. This time of year can be hard for so many, including myself. With the lack of sun and the winter blues you need to give yourself a little TLC. So here’s a list to get you started!
- Declutter your closet cleaning out your summer clothing
- Find a fluffy blanket and curl up in it
- Enjoy a nice hot cup of hot chocolate (or whatever your drink of choice is)
- Light a yummy fall smelling candle (Bath & Body Works has my favorites)
- Go on a walk and crunch the leaves
- Do a face mask
- Paint your nails
- Make a pie
- Start a gratitude journal
- Go without your digital devices
- Buy your favorite flowers
- Take a new exercise class
- Watch a romance movie
- Listen to a podcast
- Get a massage

- Practice mindful thinking
- Find new dinner recipes for the crock pot
- Put together a puzzle
- Plan a do nothing day
- Reach out to a friend/write a letter

So if you’re starting to feel a little down as the weather changes, the stress of the holidays picks up or life takes over, make sure you take a break and give yourself some self care.
