Winter wellbeing tips from the headspace Albury Wodonga and headspace Wangaratta team and Youth Reference Group
Many young people feel a case of "the winter blues" throughout the cooler months, and that's okay!

We're here to provide some tips for maintaining a healthy headspace.

Winter can be a real mood dampener. But trust us when we say - it doesn't have to be!

There are lots of tips and tricks you can implement to maintain a healthy mind, body, and soul throughout the cooler months. 

 

Find a fun way to stay active

Often when you hear the word "exercise", your mind can automatically assume people mean going for a run, playing a sport, or hitting the gym. But that's not the case! Staying active means moving your body in a way that suits you

As it gets cooler, going outside can seem like the last thing you want to do. SO, we thought we'd compile a list of fun ways you can stay active inside the house:

  • Play boardgames that get you moving; such as Twister, Throw Throw Burrito, or Spoons. 
  • Let's bring back Wii Sports and Just Dance - what a fun way to stay active! 
  • Online zumba, pilates, yoga or other workouts. 

 

It's also important to head outside for fresh air, too. Make the most of the sunny patches!
