Hi there!

 

 

Winter, the coldest season of the year in the northern hemisphere, is really long, with the shortest daylight hours to be between November and February.

During these cold and dark winter months, most people who stay indoors, even those who feel naturally optimistic, usually, feel tired, irritable, and melancholic   —   with some people even overeating. 

Certainly, there are some steps you can take in order to feel more comfortable, relaxed, and pleasant, if you choose to stay indoors.

The following suggestions will help you handle better all these dark and very hard days of the cold and dark winter months:

a)          You can write:      A blog, a journal, a book, in a magazine, or anything that inspires and stimulates you.

b)          You can read:      A romantic novel, a detective story, a classic book, or something you are interested in learning.

c)          You can write to a person you like and value:      An email, or a normal letter.

d)          You can research on the internet:      Cooking recipes, health issues, leisure activities, or anything else you are really interested in following.

e)          You can make various plans for the near future:      A day out, inviting a friend, eating out, grow plants, or anything else you like doing.

f)          You can listen to inspiring music, sing, and even dance to it.

g)          You can watch a film on the television:      A comedy, a romantic story, a detective story, or an action film.

h)          You can take as much time as you need for self care:      Take a warm bath, go for a walk in the park, walk in the beach, look after yourself. 

i)          You can cook your best recipe, or bake your favourable dessert. 

j)          You can clear your wardrobe, or cupboards.  

k)          You can redecorate specific areas in your house.

 

Do consider, that after February spring is in the air, and the days are getting longer and brighter, the flowers start blossoming, and the trees fill up with fresh leaves.

If you have different goals to achieve, a purpose and a mission in your life, you will certainly manage to come out of the winter months strong, determined, optimistic, and enthusiastic.
