Winter is a beautiful time of year, but it brings its own set of problems… The cold and wet weather makes it difficult to get out and enjoy the world around you. We have compiled a list of unique ways to relax, destress, and have fun during winter.
Including our December Sound Baths – the perfect solution to pre Christmas stress.
The winter season and pre-Christmas rush can be more than hectic. Some of us might find ourselves staying indoors more, trying to find quicker ways to relax. It can be tempting to stay in bed all morning, spend the whole day in your warm pyjama’s online Christmas shopping, order some food and watch copious boxsets. This might seem fun for a while, but learning unique ways to relax and destress during these chaotic months is essential.
As the weather gets colder, days get shorter, and you feel overwhelmed, you may have difficulty asking yourself what ways to relax are, so we’ve put together ways to relax when you need it the most.
Ways to relax during winter
Take a Hot Bath
Taking a hot bath is one of the best ways to completely relax during winter. Between your tense muscles and the cold weather, a refreshing hot bath is among the perfect ways to relax your body and mind. It’s also one of the powerful ways to help you relax your nervous system, contributing to a better mood and alleviating stress. So let your body relax, and enjoy some quiet time.
Try Breathing Exercise to Relax
If you’re wearing a heavy and warm outfit in an overheated shop whilst Christmas shopping and feel overwhelmed, can’t think clearly, and wonder what are ways to relax, taking deep breaths might help. This is one of the easiest ways to help you help destress and relax. Breathing exercise is among the most excellent ways to help calm your body and relax your mind by helping manage some negative emotions such as overthinking, anger, and stress, which most people face.
Breathing exercises are one of the easiest ways to relax; you can practice it anywhere, and it’s easier to incorporate into your daily routine.
Try Meditation
Practicing meditation is one of the best ways to help you combat stress, anxiety, improve your physical fitness, and relax during cold weather. It helps reduce your body’s stress and anxiety response leading to excellent relaxation.
Make Yourself Laugh and Relax
Laughter is, of course, one of many ways to destress and relax from the inside. However, making yourself laugh may sound weird, but if you’re open-minded, it can be quite beneficial to take a break and laugh. Laughing is one of the most enjoyable ways that will improve your mood, reduce your stress, and help you relax your mind. You can spare a few minutes to watch a funny video or comedy movie that will make you laugh.
Be Active
The truth is that our bodies need regular exercise, especially in fresh outdoor air, to relax, strengthen the immune system, and quicken circulation. How about getting out with your family or friends and do some joggin, or Nordic walking and have some fun and relax?
Doing some physical activities with friends is among the fun and effective ways to help you relax and stimulate the production of your happy hormones and displace bad moods during bleak weather.
Go Plogging
A Swedish outdoor fitness craze, Plogging is currently gaining popularity across the world! It’s simply the combination of two words, Plocka (pick) and jogging. Plogging is one of the unique ways to work out and have a charitable responsibility at the same time.
It’s also one of the best ways to work out since you combine bends and squats into your run, which will help burn a significant amount of calories than regular joggers. If you’re looking for the best ways to work out, relax your mind, and keep your environment clean during winter, then Plogging is for you.
Try a winter Sound Bath
Escape the hustle and bustle of December and immerse yourself in a healing sound bath. Using the magic and power of sound; relax, restore, recharge and retune your system into balance with guided sound meditation and a journey through the chakras using Tibetan singing bowls.
Vibration and frequency can expand and open neural pathways and open us to creativity, insight and calm. If you let yourself fully relax into the gentle and moving vibrations of the singing bowls you can enjoy a complete and harmonious sound immersion. It’s also a lovely way to prepare for the solstice and allow yourself to step into the introspection of winter by celebrating yourself and reconnecting to your relationship with self-care during a very charged and hectic time of year.
Escape the Christmas rush with these very special winter sound baths…
Come to St John’s Salisbury and immerse yourself in the healing meditative sounds of Tibetan singing bowls while surrounded by soft soothing light.
