As the days grow shorter and sunlight becomes scarce, it’s perfectly normal to feel a slight drop in energy or motivation. At L’Eau Vive residence, we know that well-being also comes from the mind. That’s why we place great importance on mental health—especially as the cold season approaches. Here are a few simple habits that can make a real difference in your daily life.
Even though the sun sets earlier, spending just a few minutes in natural light each day can help regulate your mood and boost your energy. Opening the curtains in the morning, sitting by a window to read or enjoy a coffee, or taking a short walk outside when the weather allows—all are easy ways to lift your spirits. At L’Eau Vive, our bright common areas and large windows make it easy to soak up those beautiful autumn days.
Human connection is one of the best remedies for loneliness or the winter blues. Sharing a meal, joining a group activity, or simply chatting with a neighbor helps strengthen your sense of belonging and nourishes joy. The moments shared within our residence—whether during a workshop, a game, or a musical activity—are wonderful opportunities to build friendships and remember that we are never truly alone.
Daily routines can be powerful allies for mental balance. Listening to soothing music, writing a few lines in a journal, enjoying a cup of herbal tea at the end of the day, or taking a moment of gratitude before bed—these small, simple gestures bring comfort and stability. At L’Eau Vive, we encourage everyone to find their own rituals—those little moments that feel good and give meaning to the day.
Taking care of your mental health means showing yourself kindness and surrounding yourself with warmth. At Résidence L’Eau Vive, our team is dedicated to creating a stimulating, peaceful, and friendly environment. Because happiness—even in winter—is something we nurture every day, one smile, one conversation, and one ray of light at a time.
