04 Feb Beating the Winter Blues
Here are some ideas to beat the winter blues:
• Focus on turning the winter months into a season of new adventures: explore different hobbies, take a trip, read books, watch new movies
• Start a new project
• Share your feelings with a loved one
• Embrace the cold season by dressing appropriately for the weather
• Enjoy cold weather activities such as sitting by the fire and eating warm foods
The winter blues do not have to dampen your whole season this year. Acknowledge how you are feeling and try some of these new activities to help brighten your mood. The winter blues however can be more challenging to overcome than simply changing your activities. If you have concerns about your winter blues, or the health of someone you know or care for, talk with a healthcare provider today.
