Winter Blues Be Gone—The Housr Edition

 

The season has its charm—hot chocolate, fuzzy socks, cosy blankets, and movies. But, unfortunately, it’s not the same for everyone. For many individuals, these colder months bring more than just a chill in the air. Shorter days and lack of sunlight can also affect mood and mental health. Often known as winter blues! But, Nah, we are not letting that vibe stick around. At Housr Coliving in Gurgaon, we believe winter doesn’t have to be a hibernation season. With the following tips and tricks, you can embrace winters while staying at our luxury rentals.

 

Are you ready to keep the blues at bay? Here’s how:

 

• Sunshine Therapy is a Must

During winter, sunlight is a natural mood booster. Short days and limited sunshine can reduce your body’s serotonin production—the hormone that keeps you happy and energised. Even though sunlight is limited in this season, one must make the most of it. Take short walks in coliving spaces in Gurgaon’s beautiful terrace, where you can soak up the sun while enjoying stunning city views.

 

Pro Tip: Try to spend at least 20 minutes every day in the sunlight, especially in the morning when the sun is at its best.

 

• Don’t Forget to Sweat It Out

Curling up on the couch sounds like an ideal winter plan, but it’s time to stay active and energised. Exercises help boost your energy level and uplift your mood. Working out is one of the most effective ways to fight winter blues, and it cannot get any easier with coliving in Gurgaon. Our on-site fitness zones come with fully equipped modern gym facilities. At Housr, you can stay fit without the hassle of commuting or dealing with a hefty gym membership.

 

Pro Tip: With heavy workouts, don’t forget to meditate for at least 10 minutes daily for a peaceful day ahead.

 

• Drink Lots…..of Water

Hydration during winter is as important as in summer. Cold weather can dehydrate your body without you even realising it, leaving you sluggish and tired. Staying hydrated will help maintain your energy levels and keep your skin feeling fresh and hydrated. Try drinking warm water in the morning; also, you can include herbal teas.

 

Pro Tip: You can start your day with a glass of warm water to jumpstart your metabolism.

 

• Winter=Self Care Season

Winter is harsh on the skin. Dry air, chilly winds, and indoor heating can strip off the moisture, leaving your skin parched and dull. You can indulge in winter skincare rituals; for instance, treat yourself to a warm bath with added essential oils like lavender and rose to relax your body and uplift your mood. Add an extra layer of hydration with soothing face masks to lock in that much-needed hydration.

 

Pro Tip: You can create a self-care checklist to ensure you’re following the protocol of being healthy and happy. 

 

• Move Beyond Netflix & Chill

This season is the perfect excuse for indulging in much-needed rest and binge-watching your favourite shows. But why limit yourself to unlimited screen time when you can enjoy community living with Housr Coliving? Our coliving spaces in Gurgaon are always buzzing with different community events that keep you engaged and connected. You can participate in events like paintball, badminton tournaments, sip and paint, fur therapy, and more.

 

Furthermore, if you want to enjoy indoors, you’re all covered at Housr. With our beautiful theatre room and gaming consoles, you can enjoy here after a busy day at work or simply call it a day on weekends.

 

Pro Tip: Try sketching or painting something that excited you as a kid.

 

• Nourish Yourself With Seasonal Veggies

This season, indulge in some greeny-leafy vegetables, mustard greens, spinach, kale, and more. Incorporating these seasonal vegetables and fruits into your meals ensures you provide your body with the proper nutrition to cope with harsh climate changes.

 

Pro Tip: Focus on adding fruits like oranges and guava, which are rich in Vitamin C, to boost your immune system.

 

• Plan Outdoor Activities

If you ever plan to step out of the comfort zone of coliving spaces in Gurgaon, we highly recommend wall climbing at Climb Central Delhi. The chilly weather makes it an ideal time for early morning walks or jogging. While for something relaxed and scenic, you can always plan a day out for boating at Damdama Lake.

 

Pro Tip: Those who want to experience snowfall can plan a short trip to nearby hill stations for a short getaway.

 

• A Stroll at Nearby Food Markets

One of the best ways to experience winter in Gurgaon is by fully immersing yourself in some mouthwatering eateries in the nearby local markets. You can visit the Galleria market within walking distance from Housr 28 Galleria, offering an eclectic mix of local delicacies.

 

Pro Tip: Apart from Galleria, don’t miss out on the best street food at Sector 29 and Sector 56 markets.

 

• Hit the Festive Events

The season is synonymous with festivals, bringing many events from Christmas to the New Year. Make the most of these festivities by attending concerts, food festivals, and cultural markets to experience the local culture in full swing.

 

Pro Tip: Look out for popular events like Grub Fest, Lil Flea, and Horn OK Please—they bring the best food, live shows, and magic in the season.

 

• Beware of the Pollution

Unfortunately, with chilling winter comes the unbeatable pollution! The air quality decreases, affecting your health and mood significantly. Breathe easy; you do not have to worry about that. Housr Coliving in Gurgaon is equipped with thoughtfully placed air purifiers to ensure residents have a clean and healthy environment. However, when stepping out, it’s essential to take certain precautions. Always wear a mask to shield yourself from harmful pollutants, prioritising your health.

 

Pro Tip: You can also get some air-purifying plants like snake plants or peace lilies. 

 

To Sum Up,

Winter can be the perfect time to slow down and practice self-care while being active and exploring city life. Beyond these tips, you can always rest in the comfort of Housr’s fully managed coliving spaces in Gurgaon, knowing that chores and daily tasks are taken care of. Here’s to winter filled with warmth, comfort, and new experiences!
