Exercise
Exercising can help fight off the winter blues. Yes, it may be difficult to get motivated to go out in the chilly weather but the benefits outweigh the cost of dealing with the cold. When going out for a run, you will notice your mood change. The natural environment will provide positive energy. This positive energy helps fight the negatives. You do not have to exercise outdoors to receive positive energy. Any actions involving movement will make a difference.Healthy Diet
Along with exercising, a healthy diet will help with those winter blues. That means throwing away all the stocked up junk food and foregoing take out and fast food. When eating those foods your body is not receiving proper vitamins. To combat the feeling of sluggishness, eat whole foods. Adding vegetables and fruits to your daily diet will help.Sun
Lastly and most important, sunlight. Take the time to go out and enjoy the sun. Our bodies require sunlight to produce vitamins and minerals. In the winter months we are limited in sunlight and the cold gloomy weather is no fun. When the weather allows it go outside and enjoy lunch in the courtyard to soak in the sunlight. A little bit of sunlight will help you fight feelings of depression. Remember in a few weeks the days will be longer and the weather a little warmer. The first day of spring is March 20. There is no shame in asking for help.
