Reducing back-to-school stress with green routines
October is when post-back-to-school fatigue hits. Schedules fill up, daylight shortens, and stress rises. Yet adding simple green routines can restore balance and energy.
Walk instead of drive
A 20-minute walk morning and evening replaces car trips, cuts CO2, and improves focus. Fresh morning air works like a natural wake-up. For longer journeys, see our tips on cycling through autumn safely.
Eat seasonal
Cooking simple dishes with pumpkins, apples, or leeks helps regain energy without overspending. Prepping in advance also reduces daily stress. Try our seasonal autumn soup recipes for nourishing meal ideas.
Disconnect in the evening
Limiting screens after 9 p.m. reduces stress and improves sleep. Reading or listening to music creates a real decompression moment.
Conclusion: These green, simple, and regular habits don't just lower your environmental footprint — they also help you move through autumn with more peace of mind. Start your day right with our autumn breakfast recipes for sustainable morning energy.
