How to manage your mood during the Autumn & Winter months.

Sep 14, 2020 , , , , , , by sfrrecruitment

Autumn is here!

Now, the sun will begin to rise later and nightfall will arrive sooner.

As the seasons change and we find ourselves swapping out flip flips for scarves we can feel our mood starting to dull.

During the colder, darker months many experience Seasonal Affective Disorder – also known as SAD. However there are ways in which we can manage our mood during the colder months. Here are our top tips.

1- Go and seek out some sunshine!

This is easier said than done, however it’s incredibly important to get as much light as possible. Go outside, open all curtains and blinds and perhaps invest in a light therapy box which is aimed to tackle SAD symptoms. Even a simple walk in the park everyday can help boost your mood.

2- Go and socialise!

Many of us find that as the colder months draw in we find ourselves run down, tired and therefore less motivated to engage in social activities. However this can only lead to us feeling isolated. Therefore make plans with your friends and family! Talking to people always helps!

3- Keep to a balance diet!

I know this is quite difficult. Naturally during the colder months we desire those ‘comforting’ foods such as pasta, pizza, etc. However sticking to a high carb and sugar diet causes spikes in your blood sugar levels and the crash can impact more on your mood. So ensure to have a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and omega 3-rich food.

4- Try and exercise!

I know, I can sense your laughter! However keeping active really does boost your mood! From doing at home exercises, going to the gym or even a stroll in the park! Also – exercise will help for better nights sleep!  

5- Keep track of your habits and emotions!

Keep a diary of your habits and emotions during the colder months. By keeping track you can get an idea as to what habits have a positive or negative affect on your mood.

6- Declutter and organise your home!

Keep your home organised! This helps declutter your mind. Also, ensure that both your home and office is at a comfortable temperature.

How To Prevent Burnout

Sep 1, 2020 , , , by sfrrecruitment

Since lockdown I think many of us have had the mindset of ‘GO! GO! GO!’ and pushed ourselves to get lots of things done in both our professional and personal lives which have previously been put on halt. However we should remember to take time for ourselves in order to prevent burnout. Check out our top 5 tips and remember to look after No. 1!

1- Take Some Time Off

Book a holiday, get a change of scenery and SWITCH OFF! No phone, no social media (hard, we know), chill out and focus on yourself!

2- Reevaluate Priorities

Take some time to reflect on what is really important to you. Learn to say no, focus on what makes you happy and what you should be putting your time and energy into.

3- Add Better Structure Into Your Day

Every morning set out time to write down everything that you want to get done in that day. Add how much time allowance you are going to give each task and prioritise them accordingly. You’ll find that you’ll waste less time on tasks that need less focus and you’ll likely feel more satisfied with what you’ve got done in a day.

4- Listen To Your Body

This is easier said than done but, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Nourish it! Eat food which has a positive affect on your mood and energy levels. Drink plenty of water, drink alcohol in moderation and try to aim to exercise every week. It’s insane how much food and drink can affect your energy and mood for the day + exercise is great to boost your mood!

5- Take Time For Yourself

Self-care isn’t all about taking a Lush bubble bath, or making some super healthy smoothie, it’s so much more! Take time out to enjoy the little things, a tea break, a gentle nature stroll – any small thing that makes YOU happy!

ALSO – DO NOT FEEL GUILTY FOR TAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF!

6- Nurture Your Hobbies

Nurture and nourish your hobbies and develop new ones! Having things that are completely separate from work are so good to do! Fun projects, big or small which give you joy should be given time and attention!
