This time of year many people suffer from SAD, or seasonal affective disorder, more commonly known as the winter blues. The combination of cold weather and often cloudy, gray skies can be a bit depressing. Add to that the letdown of the holidays being over and suddenly it can seem like all joy has gone out of our lives. You don’t have to suffer. Today we are going to offer some tips to help you beat the winter blues.
- Get outside. Yes, it’s cold. No, it may not be especially sunny. Any little bit of sunshine is better than none. We need vitamin D and the best source is natural light. Bundle up and take a short walk if you can. The fresh air, exercise and boost of vitamin D will all help lift your mood.
- Treat yourself. Just because the holidays are over that doesn’t mean that you don’t still deserve some treats. You may be paying off holiday bills and might not be able to afford large extravagances but you can probably find the funds for some small pick-me-ups.
- Stay in contact with friends and family. How many times have you heard someone say “I haven’t talked to that person since last Christmas.” Why do we allow these relationships to languish in between major events? Make it a priority to stay in touch. Having that extra contact can be very gratifying to both parties.
- Tackle projects. You’re not tempted to go outside much. You likely have a lull in your schedule. Now is a great time to tackle some big projects that you’ve been putting off. Curl up in your favorite spot, research your options and then jump in and start working. Not only will you be able to check some items off of your To Do but you’ll feel great knowing what you’ve accomplished.
- Start spring cleaning. Everyone talks about the importance of spring cleaning but often we are tempted to skip it, or at least scrimp on our efforts, because the beautiful weather is calling us to come outside and play. Get started now while the weather is still yucky and you’re stuck inside anyway. Save the garage, attic and other areas that might still be overly chilly, but go ahead and tackle the spare room or other interior rooms that need attention. When the warmer weather arrives you’ll be glad that you did.
