As the days get darker many of us notice a shift in our mood. Today we are sharing 5 tips to minimize the winter blues ❄️
1. Maximize natural light- Open curtains, sit near windows, and get outside when possible. Even 10–15 minutes of daylight can improve mood and energy levels. If this doesn’t help light therapy can be another great option to get more light, try a happylight!
2. Get moving- Movement is medicine! Try indoor exercises, stretching routines, or winter walks to boost endorphins and fight sluggishness.
3. Engage in meaningful activities and stay social- Doing things you enjoy—crafts, reading, music, volunteering, seeing loves ones—can increase feelings of purpose and joy.
4. Support your sleep hygiene- Keep a consistent sleep schedule, reduce screen time before bed, and create a restful nighttime routine.
5. Use sensory strategies- Cozy textures, calming scents, and warm beverages can help regulate the nervous system and bring comfort on gloomy days.
