Embark on a wellness journey this winter with Anna Scheller, the CEO and Founder of Capri Temporary Housing. In this exclusive interview, Anna shares her expert advice on maintaining well-being, both mentally and physically, during your temporary stay. Whether you’re here for a work assignment, a relocation, or a life transition, winter can feel isolating without the right routines in place.
Tips for Winter Wellness
Discover essential tips from Anna Scheller to ensure your winter stay is a time of well-being and balance.
- Mindful Moments: Incorporate moments of mindfulness into your daily routine.
- Indoor Exercise: Explore indoor exercises to stay active during the colder months.
- Nutritional Balance: Maintain a balanced and nutritious diet to support your overall health.
Mindfulness doesn’t have to mean a formal practice. Even five minutes in the morning before you check your phone, or a few deep breaths before bed, makes a difference over time. For exercise, Capri’s on-site gym takes care of the indoor workout side — no need to brave the cold or find a local fitness center. Consistency matters more than duration, so start small and let it become a habit.
Creating a Cozy Haven
Anna Scheller provides insights into transforming your temporary space into a cozy and nurturing haven.
- Warm Ambiance: Add cozy elements like blankets, cushions, and warm lighting.
- Personal Retreat: Carve out a space for relaxation and personal time.
- Nature Connection: Bring in elements of nature to enhance your well-being.
Small changes go a long way in a temporary space. A soft throw on the couch, a candle, or even a small plant by the window can shift how the space feels at the end of a long day. The goal is to make it feel like yours, even if it’s just for a few months. You don’t need to redecorate, just add two or three things that make the space feel intentional.
Nourishing Your Body
Explore tips from Anna on nourishing your body during the winter season.
- Healthy Eating Habits: Make mindful food choices to support your well-being.
- Warm Beverages: Enjoy a variety of warm beverages for comfort and hydration.
- Immune Boosters: Incorporate immune-boosting foods into your diet.
Capri’s fully equipped kitchens make it easy to eat well without relying on takeout. Stock a few staples at the start of the week — soup ingredients, oats, citrus fruits — and you have the foundation for simple meals that actually support your energy levels through the colder months. Having ingredients on hand removes the decision fatigue that usually leads to ordering out.
Mind-Body Balance
Anna Scheller emphasizes the importance of maintaining a harmonious mind-body balance.
- Relaxation Techniques: Explore relaxation methods such as meditation or deep breathing.
- Quality Sleep: Prioritize restful sleep for overall well-being.
- Holistic Wellness: Consider holistic approaches like yoga or aromatherapy.
Sleep tends to be the first thing people sacrifice when they’re away from home and out of routine. Keeping a consistent bedtime, even on weekends, helps your body adjust faster to a new environment. If you’re new to meditation or breathing exercises, a free app like Insight Timer is a low-commitment way to start. Even ten minutes of quiet before bed, without screens, can noticeably improve how rested you feel in the morning.
In this guide, Anna Scheller invites you to prioritize your well-being during the winter months. The season doesn’t have to mean sluggishness or stress. With a few small, intentional habits, your temporary stay at Capri can become a genuine reset. Better sleep, warmer meals, a little movement, some quiet time for yourself. With Anna’s tips as a starting point, you have everything you need to make this winter feel less like something to get through and more like something to actually enjoy. Here’s to a season of wellness and tranquility!
