A new year doesn’t need to equal tough challenges right away, whether that’s starting a new fitness regime, giving up habits which no longer serve you, taking up a new hobby or simply feeling like you need to be better than you were in 2024.

Winter is about replenishing yourself rather than setting goals which may not be achievable. After a season of indulgence, we encourage you to be kind to your body and mind, and be gentle with your goals, whatever they may be.

You may feel pressure to get the year off to a flying start, particularly if you slowed down in December, but now is the perfect time to master the art of ‘wintering.’ Just as nature moves through cycles of activity and rest, humans too need periods of pulling back and recharging. Take a moment with Weleda Lavender Relaxing Bath Milk to soothe mind, body and soul.

Being asked what your New Year’s resolutions are can often come with a hint of cynicism, as often we fail due to unrealistic expectations. Why not note down everything you’d love to do in 2025 – from that trip you’ve always wanted to take, to improving your fitness each month. That way it feels more exciting and less overwhelming.

We tend to crave and eat more carbohydrate-rich meals during the colder months, but it’s important to keep your plate colourful with nourishing winter veg. Kale, brussels sprouts, parsnips, cabbage, turnip, beetroot and carrots are great additions to help boost your seasonal immunity and resilience. Adding Weleda Sea Buckthorn Elixir to your winter diet is a great way to boost your vitamin C levels (or support your immune system) naturally too.

During winter we experience less daylight, making it harder to keep our vitamin D levels topped up. But there are ways to give yourself a boost by embracing the great outdoors wherever possible, with activities such as forest bathing, open water swimming (temperature permitting), hikes, runs and walks. If you’re feeling a little achy after exercise, Weleda Arnica Massage Oil is the perfect muscle soother.
