As the days get shorter and darker it can be tough to be in good spirits. Recently several of my friends have told me the weather makes them feel depressed. The following are three tips to help us all survive winter.
1) Stay active. I know it is asking the most of you. Time and time again physical activity has proven to boost mood and energy. All I am asking from you is 25 minutes three times a week. Join a run or walking group, swim, walk your dog. You can do it and you'll feel so much better. Not too mention you can enjoy those holiday treats coming up with a clear conscious!
2) Stay social or get out of your home. Make plans to either meet friends or take yourself to dinner or coffee. Make small plans that you look forward to. Of course if you can book a vacation. It doesn't have to be elaborate. Have goals for the week that involve things you enjoy with people you enjoy. These small events will help the long winter hours go by.
3) Relax. It is pouring rain, or ice rain or snowing. You are always allowed, guilt free to snuggle up and eat your favourite meal. You don't need to always be rushing around the town. It's about balance. While I do personally think you should relax in a clean house. Relaxing, getting enough sleep, drinking water and stretching are all great for your health. Relax.
Balance. Depression I think comes easily if you're too busy all the time and exhaust yourself or if you never have plans and get lonely. I hope you find your perfect balance and stay happy this winter. Thanks for reading.
As stated by Stanford Medical, It is in fact the one and ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years more and weigh an average of 19 KG lighter than we do.

BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "what"...
