7 Tips To Get Out of a Winter Slump

A case of the winter blues can have you feeling dragged down, underwhelmed and even feeling a little depressed.

Here are 7 tips that can help:

1

Exercise daily. You don't have to go to the gym, even a 20-30 minute walk can boost your mood.

Get outside. The sun gives us Vitamin D and a mood boost.

2

Make plans with family and friends. Calling a friend, going to visit family, all can be so uplifting and so good for the mind and soul.

3

Adapt. Sometimes it’s best to learn to adapt during this time of year and specifically plan ahead of things you can do to keep busy and to stay upbeat.

5

Stimulate the senses. Believe it or not, tasting, smelling and seeing something vibrant can be SO uplifting.

6

Go somewhere sunny. If budget allows, take a trip somewhere where the sun shines most days of the year.

7

Read or write. Reading a book can give you so many different emotions but this also stimulates your brain in a really positive way.

We’ve all been here before, but it doesn’t have to be this way each winter. Make the most of it and utilize these tips along the way.
