Motivation in fall: how to overcome the dark days
When the days get shorter and it slowly gets colder outside, it is often difficult to keep motivation high. Getting up in the dark in the morning, the lack of daylight and the falling temperatures often make us feel sluggish. But autumn and winter also have their beautiful sides - you just need to know how to make the most of this time. In this blog post, we give you four tips on how to stay motivated during the colder months.
How can you increase your motivation in autumn?
- Create cosy moments: By creating an inviting living space with candlelight and cosy blankets, you can create a feel-good atmosphere that invites you to relax.
- Practise conscious relaxation: Integrate relaxation techniques such as meditation or breathing exercises into your everyday life to reduce stress and increase your well-being.
- Exercise regularly: Take advantage of the cool air for walks or autumn hikes and stay active indoors to keep your body and mind fit.
- Establish new routines: A structured morning routine helps you to start the day on a positive note and regular sleeping times can increase your energy levels.
- Promote community: organise game nights or cooking sessions with friends and family to foster social connections and increase motivation.
Create cosy moments at home
When it's stormy and raining outside, it's all the more important to feel cosy within your own four walls. A cosy atmosphere can do wonders for your well-being and motivation. Cosy blankets, warm colours and pleasant materials turn your home into a place of relaxation. Our slippers from GIESSWEIN in particular, which are made from natural new wool, not only offer you warmth, but also an unrivalled feeling of comfort. They keep your feet pleasantly warm without them sweating - perfect for long, cosy evenings on the sofa.
Exercise even in the cold
Even when it gets colder outside, exercise in the fresh air is essential for our well-being. A walk in the autumn forest, a jog through the colourful leaves or even a short hike help to clear your head and lift your spirits. The fresh air gets your circulation going and the rays of light - however little they may be - top up your vitamin D stores. With the Wool Sneaker High Top from GIESSWEIN, you are well equipped even on cold days. Not only are they extremely lightweight and breathable, they also keep your feet pleasantly warm thanks to the natural thermoregulation of merino wool. This means you can go for a motivated walk even at lower temperatures.

Consciously take time for relaxation
Autumn and winter invite us to consciously take time for relaxation and mindfulness. Whether it's a good book, a cup of hot tea or a short yoga session at home - small rituals help to reduce everyday stress. Especially when the days are getting darker and shorter, it is important to treat yourself to regular short breaks. Why not spend an evening in cosy woollen slippers from GIESSWEIN and a warm merino jumper? Such quiet moments give us energy and strength for the challenges of everyday life.
Establish new routines
The dark months are the perfect time to develop new routines. Whether it's a fixed morning routine with a short meditation or regularly cooking delicious, healthy meals - routines give us structure and help us stay motivated. Autumn is also the ideal time to rethink old habits and try out new things. Our woollen products from GIESSWEIN can be a wonderful companion - whether it's putting on comfortable merino sneakers in the morning or snuggling up in a warm woollen scarf. They help you to feel comfortable in your everyday life and integrate your new habits with ease.
The cold and dark months don't have to be gloomy and demotivating. With the right strategies - be it exercise, cosiness or new routines - you can stay motivated and make the most of this time of year. Our products from GIESSWEIN, made from high-quality wool and merino, not only offer you warmth and comfort, but also a piece of nature that helps you to feel good even in the cooler months.
