10 Ways to Beat the Winter Blues

10 Ways to Beat the Winter Blahs

1. Live in Florida – This year, we have had a very mild winter and unlike a lot of places, our winters are very short.  However, since not everyone can live in Florida, I will complete the list below: 
2. Splurge on a floral arrangement weekly to bring some freshness and color into your life.
3. Go outside.  Even when it is chilly out, nothing chases the blues away like the feeling of warm sunshine.
4. Paint your house with bright colors.
5. Use scent to activate your senses.  You could use citrus fruits, candles or essential oils.
6. Spend time with friends and family.
7. Plan for the holidays.  If the holidays get you psyched, you could start planning now.
8. Spring clean early. Open your windows and let in some fresh air.
9. Get out a notebook/sketchpad and start planning your garden.
10. When you start feeling blue dance, sing, paint, or get creative in your own way.
