If you are like me, you are ready for winter to be over and spring to arrive. I wish I could get on the next thing smoking and head to a beach somewhere, but I can’t. So how do I beat these winter blues? I went on -line and here are a few tips that I found:
1. Exercise
Many stay-at-home moms have used the term “cabin fever” to describe similar symptoms. Keep physically active throughout the winter months. Indoor swimming, ice skating or sledding can be useful stress busters. Physical exercise may release hormones and neurochemicals that restore our body’s balance!
2.Get as much natural light as possible
Sit near a window to absorb natural light while working inside. (I work in a classroom with no windows… so that’s not gonna work for me!)
3.Reduce stress
Keep schedules as simple as possible to avoid rushing. Down time is important for all of us. Structure relaxation into your day, with music, quiet time and plenty of rest.
4.Regular sleep and a balanced diet
Experts recommend keeping your sleep cycle as regular as possible and avoiding excess sugar and carbohydrates. (This is the time of the year when I crave sugar!!)
5.Paint your room in a bringht color like red or yellow
What do you suggest?? I need your advice too!
