Did You Know? Winter Blues Are Common ❄️
Shorter days, colder weather, and less sunshine can sometimes lead to the “winter blues,” especially for seniors. Feeling a little low, tired, or less motivated during winter months is more common than you might think—and there are simple ways to feel better!
🌞 Ways Seniors Can Boost Their Mood in Winter:
• Enjoy natural light by sitting near windows or going outside on brighter days
• Stay socially connected with coffee hours, games, and friendly chats
• Keep moving with gentle exercise like stretching, walking, or chair yoga
• Listen to music, read, or enjoy favourite hobbies
• Eat warm, nourishing meals and stay hydrated
• Stick to a daily routine for comfort and structure
💛 A little sunshine, movement, and connection can go a long way. Remember—you’re not alone, and brighter days are ahead.
