Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what we’re grateful for, but it’s also an opportunity to give back to those who may be less fortunate. Here are a few easy ways to spread kindness and positively impact this holiday season:

Volunteer at a local food bank or shelter: Help distribute meals or organize donations to support your community during the holiday season.

Organize a canned food drive in your community: Collect non-perishable items from neighbors or coworkers and donate them to a local food bank.

Donate gently used clothes or blankets to those in need: Warm clothes and blankets can also be given to shelters to help others stay warm during winter.

Host a virtual fundraiser for a cause close to your heart: Use social media to raise funds for a charity you care about through an online event.

Offer to cook or deliver meals for neighbors or friends who may need a helping hand: Prepare and deliver meals to neighbors facing challenges or needing support.

Giving back this Thanksgiving is a meaningful way to spread gratitude and kindness to those in need.

Meaningful Ways to Give Back This Thanksgiving

As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, many people find it challenging to stay active during the colder months. Here are some fall fitness tips to help you stay active during the cozy season (and beyond!).

Embrace Outdoor Activities: One of the best things about fall is the scenery. Take advantage of the colorful foliage by going for a hike, bike ride, or nature walk. The cooler weather can make outdoor activities even more enjoyable, and you'll burn calories while soaking in the natural beauty.

Try Autumn Sports: Fall is the perfect time to explore new sports. Consider taking up activities like soccer, flag football, or frisbee. These fun, team-based sports can help you stay active and engaged while building lasting memories with friends and family.

Embrace your chores: Instead of dreading yard work, view it as an opportunity for a great workout. Raking leaves, bagging them, and doing some yard maintenance can be a surprisingly effective exercise. Plus, you'll have a tidy yard to show for it!

Take Advantage of Local Events: Many communities host fall-themed events, such as charity runs, pumpkin patches, and corn mazes. Participating in these events not only keeps you active but also adds a social element to your fitness routine.

Home Workouts: If you prefer indoor workouts, create a home exercise routine. Invest in a set of resistance bands or dumbbells, and find online workouts that suit your preferences. Home workouts are convenient and perfect for the colder months.

Embrace the changing season and make the most of it while maintaining your fitness goals. Staying active in the fall not only benefits your physical health but also allows you to enjoy your surroundings while you do it!

Staying Active in the Colder Months

As the seasons change and Fall is upon us, it is still important to keep self-care in mind even when you may not feel like it. It can be easy to get stuck in a rut as sunshine becomes less frequent and temperatures begin to drop. Let’s talk about some of the best ways to continue your self-care into the Fall season!

 

1) Read A Book

Reading can be one of the most relaxing habits and is a perfect way to practice self-care for Fall. Find a book that you love and cozy up for an hour. This is a great time to turn off electronic devices and enjoy some extra quiet time.

 

2) Do Yoga

Yoga is a great way to destress and focus on the present moment. Many people love that yoga incorporates a lot of stretching and breathwork. It is also a great way to move your body and is done indoors so it is something you can enjoy no matter what the weather is like outside.

 

3) Enjoy A Warm Drink

Whether you love tea or a warm cup of hot chocolate, Fall is the perfect time to cozy up and enjoy a warm drink. Sometimes taking 15-20 minutes out of your day to enjoy something small is enough to refresh your mind and allow you to continue through your day. If you want, you can even do this at the end of your day while in bed watching your favorite tv show!

 

4) Journal

Journaling is a great tool to help ease stress and anxiety. It has been praised by many people in the wellness industry and is part of thousands of people’s self-care routines. You can choose a beautiful notebook and spend only a few minutes each day journaling. It is easy to find journal prompts online or you can choose to just write whatever comes to mind. 

 

5) Go To A Farmers Market

If there is a day with great weather and you have a local farmer’s market then this is the perfect opportunity to spend a few hours outdoors and see what great fruits and vegetables they have to offer. This is a great self care activity to do alone or with someone else! 

 

Self care is one of the most important things you can do and there are so many great activities for self care in the Fall! Whether you try one or all of these, we know it will leave you feeling happier and more relaxed.
