 Remember those hectic, crazy busy days of summer? They seem like a lifetime ago! Now that Autumn is in full swing, you might have thought that the days would go a little slower, and your schedule and to-do list might not be as long as it once was…but many of us find ourselves dashing around even more then we were before. The school run, birthday parties, school events, parent’s evenings, not to mention everyday tasks that need completing – will we ever catch a break before Christmas? If this sounds a little too familiar, then don’t worry. Now is the time to forget about that to-do list and set aside some time for you. Giving your body and mind a little TLC is needed more often then you think; sure you could treat yourself to the best designer bags your favourite department store has to offer, but what about something a little more budget friendly? Struggling for inspiration? Read on for 5 ways of treating your body and mind this season. Take a nap A nap? What’s one of those? I hear you cry! It might sound a little out of touch, especially if you have little ones running around, but you know what they say: when the baby sleeps – you sleep. So as soon as they’re settled, slip back into bed and rest your body. Even if you’re struggling to switch off, just resting your body for a good hour will leave you feeling energised. So go on, leave the washing up for later. Head outdoors Spending time in nature has been scientifically proven to lower your blood pressure and heart rate. There’s something about nature that really speaks to all of us. So, head out to local parks, forests, lakes or even a walk along beach. Take a flask of something warm to enjoy when you reach a good lookout.  New stationery This one might not be your cup of tea, but if the idea of new stationery or new notepads fills you with excitement then why not treat yourself to some new pads and a pen or two. Take this opportunity to write down your feelings, things you want to achieve, a compliment you received today or even a good story. Make your world a little cosier During the colder months of the year we’re all spending more time indoors, so why not make your world a little cosier? A new throw, or new cushions on the sofa. Or treat yourself to some new bedding and linen. We all love slipping into fresh sheets after a long day! Take long soak It might seem a little obvious, but a long hot bath, soaking away all your troubles is always time well spent. Take this time to catch up on that bestseller you never got round to finishing, light a scented candle, listen to a thought provoking podcast or just exfoliate and buff your skin so by the time the water is lukewarm, you feel like a new person. Go on, treat yourself Collaborative post

As hard as it can be to switch off, taking a little nap where you can really does help a lot. I agree with getting outdoors too - just a little walk can do you the world of good.

It's so true! I love it when I get a rare chance to nap and also find that making my hoe cosy is the perfect way to look after my mind :) 12/11/2018 02:20:18 pm
These are definitely treats that I wish I had more time for! It’s hard to slow down, but it is important to make sure we don’t forget about ourselves in all the chaos.

You've got some great tips here. I'm going to try and head outdoors more over Autumn/Winter.

This spiritual caster known as Lord Krish is really great in helping you get your ex back and making your infertility cured. I am happy to be one of the people to publish about him on the internet as a trusted and reliable spell caster. I am Lorraine Davis from Michigan, USA. Problems began to happen in my marriage after the 4th year of marriage and my husband began to cheat and sleep with other women because I was infertile and was not able to bear him a child. I contacted Lord Krish after reading comments on google and YouTube about how he has been helping people and contacted his email: [email protected] to communicate with him and we spoke on Whats-App too. It's been more than a year now and I am happy to write about my encounter with him. Within 2 days of contact, my husband came home and apologized to me for his behavior and pleaded with me to forgive him. Before I knew it, I received the natural fertility herbal cure from the UPS which he sent to me and I became fertile. I conceived and gave birth to twin girls which made me very happy. As a result, my husband throughout my trimester periods, loved me even more. How grateful I am to be happy in my relationship. Contact Lord Krish through email at [email protected] if you are passing through any problem to help you and you will be glad you did Leave a Reply. |
