✨AUTUMN HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN✨

Autumn can be a transformative season for personal health and wellbeing, with the change in weather providing the perfect opportunity to adopt new habits and routines. Below is a plan that outlines how to maintain and improve physical and mental wellbeing through the autumn months, including what to do and when.

November – Build Resilience for Winter

Mental Health: Prioritise Rest and Recovery

What to do: November can be a busy and often stressful month as the lead-up to the festive season begins. Focus on getting enough sleep and managing stress levels.
When to do it: Throughout November.
How to do it: Establish a regular sleep routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Practice relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or evening meditation.

Physical Health: Boost Circulation and Warmth

What to do: As it gets colder, staying warm and promoting circulation becomes crucial. This will help prevent seasonal colds and keep energy levels up.
When to do it: Mid-to-late November, when temperatures begin to drop significantly.
How to do it: Start using warming spices like ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon in your meals to help boost circulation. Wear warm layers and consider investing in a hot water bottle or heated blanket for cosy evenings.

Exercise: Focus on Flexibility and Mobility

What to do: With increased time spent indoors, it’s important to maintain flexibility and mobility to prevent stiffness, especially if working from home or spending long hours sitting.
When to do it: Incorporate stretching into your daily routine, ideally after waking or before bed.
How to do it: Dedicate 10-15 minutes to a stretching routine, focusing on key areas like the neck, shoulders, back, and legs. Yoga or Pilates can be great options to incorporate flexibility exercises.

Ongoing Autumn Wellbeing Tips:

Nutrition:

Focus on seasonal eating. Root vegetables, mushrooms, and squashes are rich in fibre and nutrients.
Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants to help fight off illnesses. Include leafy greens, berries, and nuts.

Hydration:

Drinking warm water with lemon or herbal teas can keep hydration levels up, while also promoting digestion and soothing the throat.

Sleep Hygiene:

As the evenings grow darker, aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep. Use blackout curtains and keep electronics out of the bedroom for better rest.

Self-Care:

Create a cosy environment at home. Hygge (the Danish concept of cosiness) can enhance wellbeing. Use candles, blankets, and take time for personal relaxation, whether through reading, a warm bath, or practising mindfulness.

Conclusion:

The autumn months offer a unique opportunity to prepare for the colder, darker months ahead while embracing a slower, more reflective pace. By focusing on both physical and mental health, and adjusting routines to fit the changing season, it’s possible to maintain a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Start early in September with preparation, maintain good habits through October, and build resilience for winter in November, ensuring you’re ready to face the winter months feeling strong and well.
