12 tips to kick the Winter blues and Increase Energy!
Are you struggling with low energy, sluggish, and those winter blues? If yes, friends you are not alone. This is a tougher season of the year as the holidays are over, shorter days and the colder winter weather is upon us. I do have good news though, thankfully Spring is only 60 days away. Yeah!!! Time change is
In the meantime, I want to share helpful ideas and tips during these last few weeks of winter.
Turn on bright lights in your home: Just by turning on more lights in your home, it gives you more energy.
Exercise: Be sure to get proper daily movement and exercise to reduce stress, boost energy and serotonin levels.
Eat a healthy diet with foods that include vitamin D & boost energy: These include salmon, eggs, sardines, sweet potatoes, beets, almonds, spinach, lots of greens, dark chocolate, healthy fruits like berries and bananas.
Enjoy Some Warmth: Sit by a fire, enjoy a hot tub/ sauna and get a heated blanket. I just got one the other day and it feels like a bit of heaven.
Listen To Upbeat Music: Music is known to increase joy, energy, give positive vibes, and boosts serotonin. Turn up the music and do a little dance!
Get Fresh Air and Spend Time Outdoors: Open your blinds and windows if you can to get some fresh air. Take a nature walk, run or some exercise outside. Maybe try a winter sport like snowshoeing, snowboarding, and/or skiing. Just this coming Saturday, I am going to enjoy snowshoeing. I can’t wait! Take walks on your breaks or lunch during daylight hours.
Surround yourself with positive people: Happy people help others feel more upbeat and bring energy.
Take vitamins especially Fish oil and Vitamin D Suggested Vitamin D is 5000 mg.
Manage Screen Time and Unplug: Screen time can increase sources of sadness and depression. Instead try and do something active and creative.
Get The Happy Therapy Light: Check this one out on Amazon.- and by Verilux
Plan a Vacation: This brings you excitement, hope and something to look forward to. I suggest somewhere warm and sunny! I am planning on going Arizona and that gives me so much joy knowing that is coming up.
Seek Professional Help: If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or suicidal thoughts, I suggest you reach out for help and to see a professional. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Call 1-800-273-8255 Available 24 hours everyday!
