November<\/span> in Finland <\/span>is a month <\/span>for colder weather, rain and snow<\/span>. It is also considered as the darkest month<\/span> of the year with little of daylight. <\/span>On the bright side<\/span> however<\/span>, <\/span>November provides <\/span>several <\/span>month-related <\/span>activities<\/span>. <\/span>These activities provide an opportunity to be <\/span>active <\/span>and take care of yourself, <\/span>and <\/span>from this perspective<\/span> offer<\/span>ing<\/span> potential <\/span>benefits<\/span> for well<\/span>–<\/span>being<\/span>. These <\/span>practical <\/span>activities include<\/span> for example<\/span>:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. S<\/span>kiing <\/span>(in the northern Finland)<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Removing snow<\/span> and ice <\/span>fr<\/span>o<\/span>m outdoor surfaces<\/span> (in the northern Finland).<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. C<\/span>hanging the <\/span>winter <\/span>tires to <\/span>motor vehicles<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Sporting <\/span>activities<\/span> in indoor facilities<\/span>, the opportunities i<\/span>ncrease <\/span>when<\/span> the weather out<\/span>doors<\/span> is <\/span>challenging<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Setting up w<\/span>inter <\/span>feeders for <\/span>bird<\/span>s<\/span> to <\/span>observe<\/span> nature life <\/span>(<\/span>b<\/span>efore putting up feeders at your house or apartment, it<\/span> is<\/span> important to check the rules because in some places bird feeding is not allowed<\/span>)<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Setting up strings of lights <\/span>at<\/span> your fence, backyard, or balcony<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    While adjusting to a <\/span>new climate and <\/span>well-being <\/span>activities that November brings, <\/span>other <\/span>ways to promote well-being exist. <\/span>One <\/span>option is to enhance your knowledge <\/span>on health and well<\/span>–<\/span>being for the next year coming. This could be done by participating on <\/span>Health Promotion and Health Education studies<\/strong><\/em> (in Finnish <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Terveyden<\/span> edist\u00e4minen<\/span> ja <\/span>terveystieto<\/span> opinnot<\/span>\u201d<\/span>) <\/span>offered <\/span>as online courses <\/span>by the Department of Nursing Science<\/span> in close collaboration with <\/span>the I<\/span>nstitute of Public Health and Clinical Nutrition<\/span>. <\/span>These courses are open for <\/span>undergraduate (Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree) <\/span>students and students with continued study right (studies after graduation) <\/span>in the University of Eastern Finland, as <\/span>they are also<\/span> open<\/span> for everybody <\/span>interested through <\/span>Open University courses.
