To help you along on your wellness journey, today we’re sharing five tips for getting into good wellness habits this autumn to set you up for success all winter long!
- Visit Your Doc. or Local Pharmacy
In preparation of cold and flu season, and anticipation of spending more time indoors with others, schedule yourself a flu shot, COVID booster, and annual check-up if you’re due. - Support Your Immune System
Get in a regular habit of drinking more water, washing your hands, taking a daily multi-vitamin, and eating healthy foods to give your system an extra boost. - Stay Active and Keep a Schedule
When cold weather rolls around, it can be easier to slip into lazy habits or hibernation mode. Planning activities, time with others and keeping a schedule for everyday things like your favorite hobby can lift your spirits and help with a positive mindset. - Prepare for the Weather – Wear proper clothing and outdoor gear when out in the cold. Layer it up if you need to! You can even prep your home for colder weather by making sure gaps are sealed and keeping up with maintenance on your heating system.
- Eliminate Your Barriers
Think about the things that stand in the way of healthier habits for your mind and body. By identifying your barriers, you can devise a plan and work toward removing them from the equation.
