When you’re in the midst of your winter blues, that’s often the hardest time to make positive changes that could help. We’ve put together a list of things that you can start now that can help you make the most of the winter months and hopefully feel less blue.

Exercise, sleep and meditation are all good for the mind and it is easiest to commit to them when you have them in your daily routine. Routines can take a couple of weeks to get going so setup a routine around these things now so by January you’ve got it down! 🗓

The best way to get your vitamin D is directly from the sun. To make sure you don’t have any excuses when the weather gets rough, go through your winter gear now and make sure you have clothing appropriate for the elements. Even 15 minutes a day can help! ☀️

Hear us out - alcohol is literally a depressant. It may make you feel better in the moment, but once that wears off you can feel extra down because it does that to our brain! So if you’ve found yourself drinking a little more than usual now is the time yo try to cut back and just be aware of how your are mentally before indulging. 🍷

Schedule a few social gatherings with yours friends. We know it might seem silly if you see friends regularly, but get some things on the calendar now. One less thing to worry about. 👯‍♂️

Getaway. You don’t have to go to some fancy hotel - you could stay with a friend or family member who lives out of town or even plan a day trip somewhere. The point is to get a change of scenery - it’s always good for the brain to be somewhere new. ⛰

Evenings can be the toughest time during the winter months because it’s so dark. Picking up a hobby that you can focus on for the next few months can make those evenings more enjoyable. 🧩

Helping people makes you feel good. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book. Set up something now that is meaningful to you. 🫂
