Winter seems to be the season where wellness becomes the most difficult. The cold weather and being stuck indoors make it harder to be your best self.
On the blog today, we’ll be talking about seven toxin-free ways to support your wellness and health care in winter.
1. Meditate
Meditating is a habit of training your mind to focus and redirect thoughts. This habit will help you sleep better, focus, and be more positive. Read more about meditation in this blog post.

2. Learn Something New
Whenever I’m bored, it’s so easy to pass the time by going on social media. Time spent on social media is linked to feelings of depression and anxiety. Use the long dark nights of winter to swap out your phone for a new hobby. Soap making, candlemaking, and embroidery are all things I’ve learned to help me stay off my phone and do something productive.
3. Start A Journal
Recording things that happen in your day will help you look back on your life and see personal growth. You can also use a journal to write out anxious thoughts to help calm your mind. Looking at your thoughts written out will help you recognize negative thought patterns so you can change them.
4. Detox Your Skincare

6. Exercise
Join a yoga group or gym, or hit the ground running (or walking). Being active is an important part of winter wellness. It will give you more energy and help your body be its best.
7. Make Your Home Smell Great
Typical air fresheners are made of toxic chemicals. Invest in a diffuser to make your home smell great in a toxin-free way. By making your home smell great, you’ll create an environment that you will want to be in. For winter wellness, use essential oils like Peace and Quiet Essential Oil Blend to create a calming atmosphere, or fill your home with energy with Citrus Burst Essential Oil Blend.
