Got the Holiday Blues?
- Exercise: A daily 30-minute walk may help prevent depression – so take a brisk stroll down a snowy path!
- Enjoy the Sunlight: As little as 15 to 30 minutes of sunlight, best in the early morning, will go a long way to alleviating the winter blahs
- Get enough Sleep: A lack of sleep can take a toll on your mood – so aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night
- Moderate Alcohol Consumption: Two glasses of wine are plenty for the holiday party – one if you’ve already had the eggnog!
- Adjust Expectations: Don’t let visions of perfection spoil everything. Learn that most things can be good enough- simple meaningful gifts, food, being mindfully present to another, etc.
