Three Reasons to Be Cheerful This Autumn 🍂

Three Reasons to Be Cheerful This Autumn 🍂

As the days grow shorter and the chill sets in, it can be easy to feel a bit downcast. But autumn and winter bring their joys, and there’s plenty to look forward to as we enter the final three months of 2024.

Here are three things to consider in the coming months that are sure to lift your spirits.

1)    Autumn walks in crisp, fresh air 
As the leaves turn golden and crunchy, autumn is the perfect time to get outside and soak up nature’s beauty. Research suggests spending time in green spaces boosts mood and mental wellbeing, reducing stress and anxiety. With the season’s different colours and cooler temperatures, a brisk walk in the park or countryside can be invigorating. So, grab a scarf and a hot drink to take away, and go for a stroll. It’s a simple, free way to brighten your day and boost yourself mentally and physically.

2)    Cosy nights and comfort food 
With longer evenings, there’s nothing like retreating indoors and indulging in comfort food. It’s the perfect time to try out new recipes or revisit old favourites, whether it’s a warming stew, a sweet hot chocolate or a homemade pie. Cooking can be a therapeutic way to unwind, and enjoying a delicious meal with loved ones is a wonderful way to end the day, no matter what the weather is doing outside. Plus, studies show that eating seasonal foods can have health benefits, so reach for those autumnal root vegetables and squashes – your body will thank you.

3)    The festive season is around the corner 
If you’re already feeling the winter blues, remember that the social calendar has many things to look forward to. There’s much to get excited about – like Halloween’s spooky delights, Bonfire Night events, Christmas markets and New Year’s celebrations. Prepare for the festive season – decorate your home, bake Christmas treats, or plan gatherings – it all creates a sense of anticipation and optimism. Research even indicates that early planning for Christmas can increase overall happiness, giving us a psychological boost during these darker months.

So, while the days might be getting shorter, there are still plenty of reasons to look forward to the last part of 2024.
