In our country, autumn is not as cold as in other places in the world (it is no coincidence that many tourists choose Portugal as their holiday destination). Although it is not time for the beach or other activities, there is a lot to do at this time, outside the home. So, how about starting to make your autumn plans now?
Blankets, sofa and tea are a good combination. But there is much more to enjoy: a thousand and one scenes and programs in shades of brown and gold, which make us love the Sun even more. We share some ideas with you, so that your autumn is worthy of Instagram and Pinterest photos, very inspiring ones.
autumn picnic
Who said that blankets and teas only complement the sofa at home? Choose a picnic spot, a beautiful day without rain, and enjoy a meal outside with good wine (and dry leaves covering the ground). Can you imagine a warmer scenario?
Terrace in the Sun
From north to south of Portugal there are lots of terraces to enjoy the sun, and not half of them close in the coldest season. Take a book, a light jacket and enjoy a hot drink, whilst savoring the most golden sun of the year. There is nothing more relaxing than a good book at the end of the day.
Home decorations
Pinterest is full of ideas, both for decoration and Do It Yourself (DIY) projects. Many of them use natural materials, such as dry leaves and twigs or pine cones. Take advantage of one of the garden walks to collect these materials. After being inspired by decoration websites , your imagination is the limit for everything you can create to celebrate autumn, even indoors.
New sports routines
Bike rides, morning runs, walks with the dog, yoga on the beach... none of this is exclusive to autumn, but if you like mid-season days, you need to know how to take advantage of the most pleasant drop in temperature of the year. This is the best time to create new routines and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The most important...
As you ease back into your fall routine, remember not to be too hard on yourself. If you can't enjoy a day the way you had imagined, keep trying. To keep your mood up, it is essential that you follow some essential tips, namely:
- Celebrate your victories;
- Do what you really want to do, not what you believe you should do;
- Focus on what you will do, not what you won't do;
- Record all your plans and commitments in the diary.
