How to look after yourself this winter season-- ੈ✩‧₊˚
With winter already upon us, here's some tips for mental, physical and emotional health you can follow this season to make sure the dark days can feel a little lighter!
✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉ ✼ ✼ ҉ ✼ ҉
➻ Hot chocolate! Treat yourself to some sweet hot chocolate and add any toppings you like! Marshmallows, sprinkles, sugar or cookies. Guilt is never an ingredient - you deserve it.
➻ Spend time with family and friends! Organise hangout and bake cookies together, watch movies or built a pillow fort! Start a reading club with friends, online or real time, stay up late at sleepovers and remember to check up on your loved ones!
➻ Make sure to keep warm! Fluffy socks and layers can make the difference. Considering wearing undershirts with your outfits, double up socks, wear gloves and find a nice scarf. Second hand or chair shops can have winter wear at great and affordable prices for anyone out there needing a hand.
➻ Keep yourself and your skin hydrated! Make sure to use hand cream since your skin will dry out easy in the cold, use moisturiser and use sunscreen even when going out during the winter months! The sun works all the same. Chapstick may also be essential for your lips, and it’s a good time to not shy away from eyedrops!
➻ Many people will suffer from seasonal depression during this time. Make sure to check in on your family and friends as well as your own feelings, journaling or doing activities you love may help, rest regularly and make sure to drink and eat plenty. Spending time with pets or even on online calls can help in feelings on loneliness, so indulge in games with friends if possible!
These are just a few tips. Please do whatever makes you happy and comfortable and stay safe and positive this winter season. I love you.
