Let the Sun Shine In
Inside Draw the curtains open, make sure the sun has every opportunity to come into your home. Take a cat-nap on the floor. That's right, take a bit of wisdom from our feline friends and find a ray of sun, then lie down in it even if just for a couple of minutes. Feel the warmth of the natural light envelope you. If your wee ones are with you, have them lie down as well and to keep them occupied tell them how kitties love basking in the sun, then ask them to pretend they are kitty cats - get them purring.
Outside Even as little as ten minutes of sunshine a day will boost your vitamin D levels and make you feel good.
- Go for a stroll.
- Parking somewhere? Park a little further away and walk that much longer.
- At work? Take your coffee break outside.
- If you are at home with your little ones make sure you invest in some solid backyard toys and give everyone a backyard break.
- If your little ones are napping, open your front door and sit on the steps, close your eyes, breathe, listen, and enjoy.
