January and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

It\u2019s that time of year when the festive celebrations are over, and the promise of spring still seems quite far away. January is often the time when many of us start to feel the winter blues which is why it is increasingly important to be kind to yourself and look after your mental health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the short winter days and cold weather can sometimes make it less appealing to adventure outdoors, there are benefits to wrapping up warm and heading outdoors to experience the smells and sounds of the winter. Small things such as the feeling of crunch of snow underfoot, spotting a robin on a tree branch, or stopping to admire beautiful patterns created by frost can all bring a little joy and help to boost spirits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Self-care<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thriving with Nature \u2013 a guide for everyone<\/a> was published by the Mental Health Foundation to help readers find ways of connecting with nature throughout the year. The guide contains creative and straightforward suggestions for activities to help engage with nature and encourage you to get outdoors regardless of whether you live in the centre of a city or out in the countryside.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Library has several books on nature and the benefits it can have on our health within the<\/span> Shelf Help collection<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Braving the wilderness: the quest for true belonging and the courage to stand alone by Brene\u0301 Brown.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Wild Remedy by Emma Mitchell<\/a><\/p>\n

Into the forest: how trees can help you find health and happiness by Qing Li<\/a><\/p>\n
