Beating the Winter Blahs this time of year can take a bit of extra work. After the excitement and buzz of the holiday and New Year’s celebrations, it’s easy to start feeling the blahs. Short days and dreadful cold weather can really zap your energy.
Everyone has their own way of uplifting themselves. Here are some things I do:
Tips For Beating the Winter Blahs:
- Don’t forget the importance of nutrition. Staying healthy is so important to staying well. It is hard to stay energized if your body is not getting the vitamins it needs. I find it can be challenging to consistently get the vitamins I need on a daily basis, so I use a multivitamin to fill in the gaps. One a Day Gummies helps with this, plus I like the taste of these gummies. And don’t forget about the kids, they sometimes need help beating the winter blahs too! FLINTSTONES Active Kids Gummies can help bridge dietary gaps as a source of vitamins and minerals in a convenient and tasty gummy, and are great for picky eaters.
- Brighten your scenery with fresh flowers and plants. Spring may not be blooming outside, but there’s no reason why you can’t have fresh foliage in your office and home. Studies* have shown that having flowers and plants in your workspace can increase creativity, improve your mood and even reduce anxiety.
- Hydrate. Simple thing but important and many people forget. Add more water and be sure to drink enough every day. Water is important for all the bodily functions. Make sure in the dry winter months where hair and skin take a beating that you hydrate from the inside out.
- Listen to upbeat music that makes you happy. It sounds easy, but I often forget how much music can change my mood and make a dark, cold day a little bit more cheerful. Studies show music is linked to improvements in mood and decreased anxiety when you listen to tunes that make you happy on a regular basis.
- Keep nasal cold symptoms away. Does anyone else feel like they always have at least a BIT of a cold this time of year? There’s nothing worse than walking around with a stuffed or running nose. We keep hydraSense Daily Nasal Care on hand to alleviate these nasal cold symptoms. It’s effective at relieving nasal congestion, making it easier to breathe, so you can stop sniffling all day.
- Move more. If I am having a difficult day, if I feel achy or need help beating the blues I go workout. For me that works. I do centergy which is like body flow or hit the weight machines or I go skiing, or tobogganing with kids. Believe me, the movement leads to me feeling better eventually. My energy always is much better after doing something physical.
- Find something to look forward to. Book a trip, even a short road trip or staycation. Plan something amazing for a few weeks or months down the road. A spa day, a manicure at the end of the week. Anything that makes you feel better and helps with beating the blues.
