Advertorial Tips to encourage wellness in your home (NC) Fall weather means fewer vacations and getting back into a regular routine. One way to combat the daily stressors these changes might bring is by ensuring your home is a space for rest and relaxation. Here are some tips to inspire health and wellness in your home: 1. Design cozy nooks and spaces. Even the tiniest of homes can carve out a zone or two dedicated to quiet contemplation. Whether it's a comfy chair or spare bed- room, try to find a spot with plenty of natural light and air flow. Load it up with soft blankets and cushy throw pillows to create a space for a deep power nap, curling up with a good book or engaging with your favourite hobby, like crafting. 2. Manage stress creatively. Exercise, sleep and eat- ing well are essential for handling stress, but it's also important to discover what other activities uniquely help you unwind. For example, extroverts often feel re- energized by socializing with friends. Others can feel restored by zoning out with their headphones on. If this sounds like you, try a service like SiriusXM, which offers commercial-free music and more outside of the car, so you can tune in at home or on-the-go. 3. Minimize social media time. Did you know that people who don't sleep with a phone in their room get better quality rest? Being mindful about where, when and how often you use social media is essential for managing stress and maintaining a sense of well-be- ing. Create guidelines for the whole household to follow and be sure to set a good example for your kids by following them yourself. 27 | O akville B eaver | T hursday,O ctober 17,2019 insidehalton.com SAMMcDADI 905.502.1500 sam@mcdadi.com Owner/Sales Representative B.Sc., M.B.A. SAMMcDADI'S HOME OF THE WEEK 1318 Duncan Road, Oakville - $3,200,000
