A lack of natural sunlight and fresh air can often lead to people feeling unmotivated, drained, and a little blue. Luckily, GiftWorksPlus has come up with a list of ways to help you get in a better headspace to tackle the coldest days of winter.
How to Combat Seasonal Blues
-
Hit the Gym: We all know that an endorphin rush can make you feel amazing. Well, when the weather has got you down, a quick 20 minute workout can help give you a burst of energy and endorphins to help elevate your mood!
-
Treat Yourself: Taking a day or even a half day off to just do something you enjoy can help you to feel a little bit more like yourself. Whether you take a spa day, go shopping at the mall, see one of your favorite teams play, or stay in and order a pizza with friends, these activities can help you remember how to have a little fun this winter!
-
Bundle Up and Get Out: Sometimes you just need to brave the elements and get a little outdoor time. Check out a local ski resort or find a good hill in your neighborhood and plan a day to get out and ski, sled, tube, or snowboard with friends. Getting some exercise, sunlight, and time with friends is sure to boost your mood!
-
Try Some Fake Sunlight: Sometimes the clouds just won’t cooperate, and you have to take other measures to get your daily dose of sunlight and vitamin D. A light therapy box, such as this one found on Amazon, can give you that same instant mood boost you get when you step outside on a sunny day!
-
Take a Mini Trip: Maybe what you’re really needing this season is to take a mini vacation. Check out a nearby city you’ve always wanted to visit, even if it’s only an hour away. Booking a nice hotel and planning a couple days away can help break up the monotony of the cold winter season.
