6 Easy Ways to Enjoy Health Habits into March and Beyond Naturally
March is the month we get ready to bid winter farewell. You might be browsing seed catalogs, or maybe perusing the fashion columns, speeding up what is ahead. Spring is just around the corner so we have time to reflect on the positive habits we’ve cultivated during the colder months and carry them forward into March and beyond.
Habits to include in your plans for a strong, fresh start ahead of spring
- Morning Light Exposure: Take advantage of the increasing daylight. Early mornings, even on overcast days, offer big benefits.
Natural light exposure within an hour or waking in the morning helps regulate your circadian rhythm, enhancing both physical and mental well-being. It also helps get you back to sleep on your best terms when it is time later that night.
- Conscious Breathing: Engage in conscious breathing exercises. Did you realize that breathing is the only bodily function we can control both consciously and rely on it working for us automatically?
Explore various breathing techniques linked to overall health and mental well-being. Understanding the relationship between CO2 and oxygen is crucial for optimizing your breath. Breathing in through your nose opens you up to a whole world of benefit from nitric oxide. More on that in future posts!
Speaking of breathing…
- Greenery Indoors: Surround yourself with indoor plants. The soothing sight of nature indoors serves as a preview for the upcoming gardening season. Spending time in green spaces, whether indoors or outdoors, contributes significantly to your overall health.
- Walk Near Woods or Water: You can also find the health benefits of greener outdoors in what are now called ‘blue spaces’. Wake up your body from the lethargy or winter, especially indoors by socializing, exercising and even commuting in the blue spaces under the sky and near water. It’s easy on the eyes and calms our nervous system to be outside in the blue and the green.
- Stretch your Routine: Incorporate regular stretching into your life’s daily routines. Reaching for the skies and engaging in steady movement helps awaken your body and align it with the natural rhythms around you. Consider activities like cycling and walking in natural settings, which are as in tip #3, not only beneficial for your physical health but also easy on the eyes and nervous system.
- Sun Protection: Skincare is always in vogue, but as the experts unanimously agree, sun protection is non-negotiable. Regardless of the varied skincare routines and products available, safeguarding your skin from the sun is a fundamental necessity. Enjoy the glow that is the reward of good skin care.
