Hi Friends! welcome back to our blog! I am in the depths of snow, negative degrees, and winter blues here in Upstate NY. Since I’m feeling low energy and extremely tired of winter, I thought I would share some tips that make me feel better!
Tip #1. Move your body! even if it’s just for a few minutes, exercise almost always makes you feel more motivated and energized. So find a jump rope, or an exercise mat, or just throw on some socks and start dancing!
Tip #2. Get crafty. Being creative is a sure way to get out of your typical routine of working, cooking, chores, etc, I recommend painting, and coloring, and if you’re more advanced knitting or crocheting.
Tip #3. Speaking of knitting, Learning a new skill is great way to stimulate your brain, my boyfriend Michael has been beating the winter blues by learning Russian on Duolingo!
Tip #4. Get outside! Try going outside (if you can stand it) for just a few minutes, being in the sunlight and nature is so healing. I take my puppy for very short walks just for her to go potty and for me to see the sun.
Tip #5. Bake/Cook something new. You could lean into making cozy soups, starting your sourdough journey, or learn to bake a new dessert using our recipes 😉
Tip #6. Plan something to look forward to! A fun local event, coffee with a friend, or a call with your favorite relative.
I hope these tips help any of you who are dealing with winter dread, It will soon be Spring.
“Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” Hosea 6:3
