Anyone else notice their mood drops right along with the temperature? Yeah… fall hits different.”
One minute I’m crushing my workouts, and the next, it’s dark before dinner and my body’s like, “Nah, we’re done for the day.”The days are shorter, it’s cold, and honestly—my motivation to work out? She starts ghosting me. These shorter days and colder mornings
The lack of sunlight definitely messes with my rhythm. affects my mood, my mindset takes a hit and before I know it, my workouts start to feel like a chore instead of therapy.
But I’ve learned (the hard way) that this is exactly when consistency matters most — not perfection, just showing up for me.
I refuse to let the season win so instead of fighting the season, I’ve learned to flow with it. Here are 4 quick ways I fight back
🌞 Chase the light: I get my workout in before my brain realizes it’s cold, and has time to to talk me out of it — Morning movement sets the tone for my whole day
🧣 Bundle up, don’t back down: Instead of skipping workouts because it’s cold, I’ve learned to layer up and make it part of the experience — cozy hoodie, gloves, and a good playlist make a huge difference.
🔄 Adjust, don’t abandon: When my energy dips, I scale back instead of giving up — maybe a shorter , harder workout, a brisk walk instead of weights. Progress still counts!
💬 Keep the connection and stay social: I lean on accountability —I have to really push myself to get out— I force myself to play winter tennis just to keep moving and not slip into hibernation mode. 🥶🎾
The season might slow me down, but it won’t stop me. Progress just looks different right now — and that’s okay. 🍂💪
“Season of coziness got you slacking on your workouts? I’ve got you! Comment ‘I’M READY’ and I’ll help you build a plan to keep moving, stay motivated, and crush your goals 💥🍁”
