40 Morning Affirmations For The Cold Winter Months

When it’s cold and gloomy out, it’s so easy to feel down and blue. Therefore, it’s the gloomy winter time of year where positivity and affirmations are almost needed morning, noon, and night! Also, seasonal depression is a real thing!

Lots of people have seasonal affective disorder, which is categorized by feelings of depression, fatigue, and hopelessness following a change of climate. It typically happens when the temperatures get cooler and there’s less sunlight.

Even if you don’t have season affective disorder, it’s still so easy to feel any of these things when the weather gets colder. You’re not as enticed to go out in the cold air or snow and do things; this is because you just want to stay cuddled on your couch.

It makes getting out of bed to go to work harder, especially if you have to commute in the cold, snow. It gets darker earlier, making you feel less inclined to make plans after work. I can go on and on. But I’m not.

Instead, I am going to help switch your perspective – which is ironic because I hate winter, too. So, start your winter day off by saying some morning affirmation that’ll get you hating the cold winter months a bit less.
