Welcome to December!
In many places where it’s still not too cold, we started this month with an onslaught of rain.
Whether it’s chilly or overcast (or both), sometimes the winter blues and emotional downs are hard to get over.

Perhaps it’s the lack of someone to cuddle up with, or the fact that the cold weather is just beginning and we have many months ahead before it gets warm again. Maybe it’s even the beginnings of flu-season that have worn down immune systems and caused the need for more rest. Perhaps it’s something else entirely, but it’s still difficult to overcome the sadness and unexplainable blues that are felt.

Well, the weather itself is impossible to overcome, as are some of the other circumstances that are simply out of our control. However, there are some things that remain in our hands and there are still measures we can take that help bypass any negative emotions!
So what are these miraculous solutions???

Here is a short list of things you can do to battle the winter and rainy blues:

1) Take immune-system strengthening supplements. Way too often our diets just aren’t enough when it comes to keeping the proper nutrient levels in the body. Great go-to supplements that I use year-round (and that help me stay healthy) are Vitamins C and D. Other great ones are A, E, and Zinc. If you seek natural energy-boosters, Vitamin B compounds work wonders! It’s possible to find these supplements in large quantities at any supermarket, but opt for the ones that are additive-, and gluten-free.

2) Change up your routines! Begin a new book, or go on a new type of adventure. Explore some place you’ve been wanting to go in nature, or just take yourself out to an exciting movie! If you don’t have a partner, don’t hesitate to take yourself out to lunch or dinner!!

3) Look into new hobbies that are immune to weather! The sense of accomplishment you’ll get from creative projects is sometimes hard to beat. It might even be as simple as rearranging the furniture in your house, or reorganizing your stuff.

4) Use this season to get rid of any garbage (literally) that may have piled up in your life. There’s no need to have physical junk laying around in your peripheral, making you feel even more down or off-center.

5) Finally, find any reason to smile. The positive energy that smiling sends to your brain is a natural buzz that you should be allowing yourself to enjoy many times a day!!!

I hope you find some of these tips useful, and that you begin to perceive the winter season as much more cheerful!
