9 fun and fabulous ways to live mindfully with Vitality
You deserve a break. And this Women's Month, you can empower yourself and the women in your life with our fun and fabulous self-care tips and tricks.
Women's Month is the perfect time to remind yourself and the women in your life to prioritise your self-care. And you don't need to spend a lot of money to do it!
Here are 9 fun, fabulous and totally free ways to live mindfully with Vitality:
- Just breathe Close your eyes and inhale through your nose. Count to 4 and then exhale through your mouth. Repeat until you feel refreshed.
- Take a nap Schedule a meeting in your diary... with your pillow! A 15-minute power nap in the middle of the day can make all the cobwebs go away.
- Go for a walk If you want to be happy, grab your takkies and take a stroll around your neighbourhood or, even better, at your nearest, greenest park.
- Play with pets Whether it's a dog, a cat, a tortoise or a rat, studies show that playing with pets can boost your mood and make you feel good.
- Get Vitamin D-lightful! When you wake up, take your morning cuppa out into the sun. Just 15 minutes of basking in morning sunshine sets the tone for your day.
- Create alone time Book time to do... whatever you want! Tell your family you're taking time out to read a book, drink some tea, take a bath, or do all three.
- Get your heart racing Just 30 minutes more exercise a day can make you healthier and happier. Plus, reward yourself with a coffee or more when you achieve your weekly exercise goal on Vitality Active Rewards.
- Grab coffee with a friend Making time to have coffee with a friend is a wonderful way to relax, refresh and reconnect. Plus, achieve your weekly exercise goal and get your coffee on us! (See point 7 ;) )
- Take a scroll break Sometimes you need to unplug to recharge. Make it your personal goal to switch off your phone an hour before you go to bed and switch it back on an hour after you wake up.
