Therapy blankets against darkness

It's that time again. The days are noticeably getting shorter. The body has to get used to the dark days again and manage with less valuable light. This affects many people in winter by causing them to have less energy, motivation, and joy. Here are a few tips on how you can positively shape this time with your therapy blanket and much more.

Enjoy nature
The lack of vitamin D can limit the production of the happiness hormone serotonin and cause mood swings. Some exercise and light are therefore not only beneficial for the mind but also for the body. Negative thoughts are driven away by the fresh air and light, and a walk through the park or forest can work wonders. Try to look around and perceive your surroundings. Whether colorful autumn leaves or snow-covered meadows – only when you look will you be able to see the beauty in them! Afterwards, you can look forward to your warm home. Prepare yourself a tea and warm up with your therapy blanket. This way, you can reward the pleasant exhaustion of the body with relaxation and prepare for a restful night.

Take precious time for yourself
People are often listless in winter and find it hard to motivate themselves for activities. That is okay because this time can also be invested in other valuable ways. You don't have to constantly do something to feel socially accepted or satisfied. Change your perspective and see the season as an opportunity to dedicate time to yourself. Maybe there are things you haven't had time for so far or that you neglected in summer. Plan some selected activities for each week and look forward to the time with yourself. Additionally, you can use your therapy blanket as a winter companion when you pick up a book, paint, or want to relax after especially healing body care. You will notice how your well-being increases and your inner restlessness slowly disappears.

Pay attention to a healthy diet
The winter months are usually accompanied by many sweet dishes. Sugar may make you awake, but after a short time, attention drops sharply and you feel more tired than before. You should not completely give up treats but pay attention to a balanced diet. There are many delicious dishes that can be prepared in winter with seasonal fruits and vegetables and provide the body with sufficient vitamins. Invite friends for a meal and enjoy your appetite together.

Allow yourself hibernation
In winter, many people tend to sleep more and also become tired and sleepy more quickly during the day. This is nothing bad, so you should not force your body to sleep less. Allow yourself to rest more than usual during these months. With your therapy blanket, you can make even better use of rest times and get the necessary relaxation and regeneration for your body. Even during the day, you can use your weighted blanket for a nap or in the evening on the couch and give your body a feeling of security through deep pressure. At night, you will be disturbed less by nerve-wracking awakenings. Your body can recover significantly better and ultimately has more energy for the day. You will see – your everyday sleepiness will automatically improve and help you enjoy even the dark, gray winter months more.
