At The Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel we believe January is the perfect time to embrace wellness and set the tone for the rest of the year! Whether you’re indulging in a luxurious spa day or cultivating small, meaningful habits at home, every step you take toward self-care is a step toward a healthier, happier you. We’ve put together five tips to help kickstart your wellness journey, both at home and with a rejuvenating visit to our spa!
1. Set the Tone with a Mindful Morning Routine
How you start your day can shape your mindset and energy levels. If you can find a few minutes each morning for mindfulness, it can really help to set the tone for the day. We promise it will feel better than reaching for your phone!
Ways to do this:
· Practice deep breathing or meditation to ground yourself.
· Enjoy a nourishing breakfast, rich in whole grains, fruits, and protein to fuel your body.
· Stretch or do light yoga to wake up your muscles and enhance circulation.
This intentional start will help you stay calm and focused throughout your day.
2. Hydrate and Nourish Your Skin
The colder months can take a toll on your skin, so make hydration a priority. At home, use a rich moisturiser or hydrating serum daily. Drink plenty of water and incorporate foods high in omega-3s, like salmon and walnuts, to promote skin health from within. For a more indulgent treat, visit our spa for a Hydrotherapy Experience! Our state-of-the-art thermal facilities and treatments are designed to replenish and hydrate your skin, leaving you glowing and refreshed.
3. Schedule “Me Time” with a Spa Day
Selfcare isn’t selfish – we think it’s essential! A spa day provides the perfect escape to focus entirely on yourself. At The Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel, you can choose from a range of treatments tailored to rejuvenate your body and mind. A spa visit isn’t just a luxury; it’s an investment in your overall wellbeing.
4. Move Your Body Daily
Regular movement is key to boosting mood, energy levels, and overall health. If you’re not ready to dive into an intense workout routine, try these gentle ways to stay active:
· A brisk walk in the fresh air.
· Dance around the living room to your favourite playlist.
· Follow an online yoga or Pilates class.
5. Create a Night time Ritual for Restful Sleep
This year the number one resolution in the UK is to try and get more sleep! I really believe that quality sleep is the foundation of good health. Wind down in the evenings with a calming ritual:
· Dim the lights and unplug from screens at least an hour before bed.
· Sip a soothing herbal tea, like chamomile or lavender.
· Consider using a calming essential oil, such as lavender, on your pillow.
If sleep has been elusive, a relaxing visit our spa can help balance your nervous system and prepare you for more restful nights.
