Preparing Your Mind and Body For The Fall Season
As we begin to creep closer to the fall, we will move from the high energy long summer days to mellow shorter days and cooler weather. This seasonal shift isn’t limited to a change in our environment, but it also influences us physically and mentally. For some, fall can be an opportunity to implement new ideas, healthy routines, and overall lifestyle changes. Since modern life tends not to be in sync with seasonal living, an awareness of this shift and taking a little extra care during this time of year, can go a long way toward supporting our overall health. Keep in mind, the fall season is also a great time to hit the reset button, set new goals, and get organized for the upcoming season. Keeping that in mind, here are 7 things you can do to help you shift gears into the fall season:
(1). Stick to your regular sleep habits. Research shows that consistency in our sleep routines play a huge role, in how we function daily.
(2). Come up with a new eating plan. Things are in season at a particular time for a reason. Seasonal foods support our bodies with what they need during each season.
(3). Get in more exercise. An active body is an important element of physical, emotional, and mental health. Dr. Nicole Kilian, says “Fall is a great time of year to transition from more “yang” activities (running, biking) to more restorative, “yin” activities like yoga, tai chi, and qigong.
(4). Make the necessary changes in your skincare routine. A change in seasons means a change in the way you take care of your skin.
(5). Get professional help to plan for optimal health. Fall is the time to come up with a plan for the season, whether it’s an immune transformation for your entire family, or maybe you need to address and treat Seasonal Affective Disorder.
(6). Stay on top of your social connections. Research has shown that “the lack of social connection is a greater detriment to health than obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure.”
(7). Hit the “pause” button more often. Make time, to take time for yourself.
Sum It All Up: A smooth transition from summer to fall comes down to knowing what your priorities are, how you want to spend your time, and trying out some new habits. Doing these things, will allow you to move into the fall season with grace and ease.
