How is October almost over already?! I swear it was Oct 1 just yesterday! And once October is gone…here comes the Holiday Season!😱

BUT since we are still in October (just barely), let’s talk about some fun “Spooky” self care ideas!

All of these are SIMPLE ways to add a little self care into your life!

• Grab a book from your favorite author and find a quiet place to read.
• Find a face mask designed for your skin type and apply…you can even combine this one with reading.
• Get outside and get some fresh air. There is something particularly special about Fall air!
• Carve out some alone time (see what I did there😉). Ok, this one may actually be a little harder, if you have a family!
• Do some yoga…there are sooo many beginner videos on YouTube. You do NOT have to be bendy to get started!
• Cook up some treats…these can be good, healthy treats OR you can do a small splurge!
• Take a nap! Do you remember when that used to feel like punishment?!😆

I didn’t do much decorating for Halloween this year, but I did get my outside “display” done! Isn’t my helper adorable?!🐾

This was the extent of what got done on the inside!😆

My mom and I snuck off the farm to get Halloween manis last week.

Fall Harvest is winding down. Praying Mother Nature is more kind for next year’s crops.🙏

As I said, October is closing down quickly. That means November is right around the corner, and THAT means the dreaded time change.😫 There are a number of health issues associated with time changes.

I wish they would stop with this silly nonsense of falling back and springing forward. Pick one and stick with it! But since we don’t seem to have a say in this matter, there are things we can do to make the transition a little easier.

• Start altering your bed time a few days early to help make the change
• Make sure you have some good lighting in your house when it starts getting dark so early
• Be sure to get some exercise during the day
• Try to get some sunlight when you can
• Start drinking Rise Nootropics, which can help boost brain health, improve mental well being and help you feel better now!

That’s it for October! I hope you find some of these tips helpful!
