During the winter months, I’ve found that helping others has been a huge boost to my mood. I started volunteering at a local food bank, and it’s given me a sense of purpose and connection. The cold weather can feel isolating, but when

[@NadiaBlair-q3p]

I’ve realized that winter is a good time for reflection. I used to dread the cold, but now I see it as an opportunity to slow down, take a breather, and focus on myself. I’ve started journaling more, especially about the things I’m grateful for, and it’s really shifted my mindset.

[@RachelRees-y1u]

I find that getting outside for a run or walk, even if it’s freezing, gives me such a boost. Cold weather doesn’t have to stop you from staying active, and it’s a HUGE mood lifter for me!!!

[@BradleyLawson-f8r]

Winter has always been tough for me, but I’ve learned that a solid self-care routine can really make a difference. I try to light candles in the evening, read a book with a warm drink in hand, and stay in touch with family and friends. I also take the opportunity to binge-watch my favorite shows, and even though it sounds lazy, it’s been great for my mental health. Finding that balance between rest and being social has really helped me manage the seasonal blues

[@KyraBrowning-q1b]

Even though it’s cold outside, staying in touch with friends virtually or in person has kept my spirits up!!

[@JanineDelaney]

Yep, that’s what friends are for

[@KeiraElliott-o8b]

I’ve noticed that writing down a few things I’m thankful for each day helps me stay grounded and fight off the darker days

[@EmmaCarr-n7u]

I’m out there helping others, it reminds me how much we can all give back, no matter the season

[@JanineDelaney]

🙏

[@Courtneylovesfood122]

You are so luck you moved to Florida. I want to so bad but can’t because of my job. I definitely think the cold weather in Chicago contributes to putting me in a bad mood all winter 😡

[@JanineDelaney]

I totally understand!

[@EmmaGray-d4h]

a comfy blanket, candles, and a good book make all the difference in staying positive

[@DexterHawkins-y2m]

making time for hobbies during winter keeps me feeling productive and happy

[@JanineDelaney]

Facts

[@AspenRoss-z3s]

I’ve struggled with feeling sluggish and low during the winter months, but I’ve started taking 15-minute breaks throughout the day to walk around, even if it’s just to the kitchen and back. It helps clear my head and keeps me from feeling completely drained. I’ve also been working on setting small goals each day-whether it’s finishing a book, learning a new recipe, or catching up with a friend-which helps me feel accomplished, even on the grayest days

[@JakobSloan-b6z]

I totally understand how difficult winter can be for mental health. I started a new hobby this year - painting - and it’s been such a positive way to express myself and beat the winter blues 😀👏

[@JanineDelaney]

I love that, painting is such a great outlet!

[@ShannonHoughton-p3x]

Winter has always been my least favorite season, but after incorporating regular workouts into my routine, I’ve noticed that I feel much more energized and focused. Exercise has been key for me this winter!!

[@JanineDelaney]

Such a smart idea and very proactive I love it

[@NicoleHolmes123]

Last winter, I felt totally stuck-everything felt like a blur of gray days. But this year, I’ve started adding something small to my routine every morning to bring me joy. I try to make breakfast something special, like avocado toast with a poached egg, or even a nice warm bowl of oatmeal with fruit 🙏

[@JanineDelaney]

That's so great, I love starting my day with something special too!
