HOW TO BEAT THE WINTER BLUES // 8 TIPS TO A HAPPY AND HEALTHY WINTER // CHARLOTTE GROVE FARMHOUSE

[@CatahoulaBlue-nq2ri]

Years ago our neighbor invited us to a "Blahs" party at her house with our other neighbors and none of us knew what that meant. She said it was a "winter blahs" party and she served several different soups and bread and we played board games at different tables. We laughed so hard and had the best time that night! Nothing like a bowl of warm soup on a cold winter night. We had an absolute blast!

[@lyngartin318]

That is a fantastic idea and a great way to spend a winter evening!

[@shelleywall5556]

Love this idea! Might use this idea. Thanks for sharing

[@brendabrooks9699]

My self care may be a little extreme for some people. But I go spend one day and night in a hotel. To me it is so therapeutic. I take some snacks, my crochet and books. I get there and don’t see a soul except for door dash person in the evening. I love it I’m in my pjs just relaxing no loud tv or anyone around me. I take a very hot long bath and relax also. I have no noise in my head when I’m there. I have a beautiful home and a beautiful family but sometimes I just need a break from everyone. When I go home it’s like I’m so much more rejuvenated and ready to do the things I need to do. My husband sometimes comes and stays overnight but really kicks against it but it’s fine if I’m just alone I love it. It’s just me, myself and I. There’s just something about being there about once a months that just makes me feel well and happy❤

[@DH-qz2so]

Sounds lovely! That is how Introverts "recharge" their batteries... Back in the day, I would go away for 2 nights with my Quilting Group to a cabin on a lake...we would sew in our pajamas all day, nibble, walks, drink wine.... and oh yes, Sew!

[@jennifermarie8707]

Love that

[@sandycrouse4705]

Wow! What a motivational speaker you are. This is why I always want to see your videos. You are so uplifting, interesting and so intelligent.

[@shelllombardi9124]

Tiffany you are hitting it out of the park with your videos! I love that you’re branching out with new content. You’re doing a great job with your videos. We appreciate all of the hard work that goes into creating them. It’s freezing cold and gloomy in southern Ontario. So important to not just “get through” the season but embrace and savour it. Love from Canada! 🫶❤️🇨🇦

[@jenniferramirez2039]

I love how you said everything goes through stuff, not just human! Never really thought about that!

[@browneyedgirl425]

I'm the opposite...I LOVE winter & hate the summer months. 😢 I hate the heat & hibernate until the cold weather gets here. I feel so much better in the cold, have more energy, sleep better & love the darkness 🤍❄️🩵

[@sborras12]

Agreed!!!!

[@dmr3_]

Me too! I can’t stand the heat and not being able to cool off. When Fall comes I feel like myself the most. Hot and humid weather is terrible weather for my mood.

[@jennifermarie8707]

Same!

[@brendabrooks9699]

@@browneyedgirl425 I love the cold months too. I think snow is so pretty and I hate the heat!!!

[@Mimi-qc5hd]

I guess I am an oddball, I love the winter months, I am in Minnesota and for me its relaxing to hang out in the house and not the hecticness of summer, but I understand because I have family affected by winter blues

[@thefarmhousetable3608]

Thank you so much for this video! Sometimes I feel like a get stuck in a rut especially when it is cold, dark and cloudy all of the time during the winter. You are an awesome motivational speaker! Have a wonderful day! 😊

[@Chgogal1]

Hi Tiffany I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for these ideas. I have suffered from sad since I was a kid. Back then, I didn’t know that was what it was called. These were some great tips in tips. Exercise definitely helps me in this time. I also love your little dog Charlie. I have a dog named Charlie that looks a lot like your pup.

[@heathersturdevant1825]

Thanks for this video. Great ideas, especially planning for warmer weather. Also Tiffany you look so pretty in that color of blue.

[@REBECCAMJHYMESOFFICIAL]

[@SM-kz6xu]

You are truly the best. I just love your content. Feels like a warm hug. Thank you so much.

[@sadieolsen331]

This video is just what I needed. I'm always excited for winter when I have the holidays to look forward to. But after New Years, I tend to crash. This winter where I live has been sunny but very cold, with minimal snow. I'm definitely going to start planning some garden projects to help me get through.

[@debbiemccann3711]

I also love the quietness of Jan. Nov.and Dec. are busy in my work and with Holidays Now come Feb and March for some reason get to me.I think it's because we get some really nice days that you think springs comming then we get hit with snow and cold.All your tips were great Thank you for sharing.

[@lesleythompson1824]

This is a great video! Thank you for sharing your tips and advice on this subject. It’s much needed in this world today

[@shelaghsipos7656]

I love the winter it’s my favorite time of year. I live in Maryland so my winters are not the worst but I’m definitely not in the norm

[@jennifermarie8707]

I'm the same. Also in MD

[@anniehowell3707]

Thank you for sharing absolutely love all the encouraging words ❤

[@pamstudenka1312]

That blue sweater sure brings out your blue eyes! Another video that I love! 🙂

[@lyngartin318]

For me, winter brings anxiety. I often get panicky, like something bad is about to happen. I don't get depressed, I have a pretty good reserve of energy most of the time, it's just those thoughts that drive me bonkers. I have a very large assortment of plants. Plants are proof that life remains and will return in the spring. Grow lights help me see progress, and that makes me happy! Once in a while, one of my orchids will surprise me with a bloom stem, that's always a welcome happenstance. My belief is: If you find something that brings you joy, like growing plants or knitting, watching KZbin, or whatever, then go "all in." Dig in. Learn, embrace, enjoy. Lean into what you have discovered that makes you happy and brings you peace.

[@sharonkavanagh9254]

Thanks for that, amazing advice and tips. Love your channel.❤

[@debbieherrin9982]

I take some “me” time to read to for pleasure and devotionals, use shower steamers to elevate simple nightly showers, watch KZbin videos such as yours that are encouraging, using great smelling candles/Scentsy/Wallflowers, and other things. Sometimes the little things and taking even ten minutes here and there help so much. I’ve also started putting on relaxing music from KZbin while I do housework or cook. I also have battery lights and candles on timers that come on in the afternoons for added cozy vibes. Anything to keep the mood cozy and positive in our home. It helps with any weather moods. Lol!

[@georgiabray8746]

This is awesome! Thank you so much for the great information.

[@laurahood6002]

Thank you so much! I love your channel. This helped me so much!❤

[@monicafriesen3866]

Thank you for this video. I am reading Wild Hope and just read Wintering the other day. You are inspirational and I love your wisdom and knowledge. I would love to see more of these videos from you in the winter to get us through the days of cold and isolation. I’m learning to embrace these days of resting and not wish away our time, no matter what month it may be.

[@pamelarichards6482]

Tiffany, you give such good advice and give it in a way that maybe a lot of us haven’t thought about. I really enjoy your videos and so glad I found you a few months ago.

[@maryhalliday7739]

I have hated winters for as long as I can remember..Snow is pretty and some fun... but that is far as it goes for me. I have learn to live with it..but your advice and suggestions were awesome. I tell myself all the time planning is done in the winter for the spring and summer. Great video, Tiffany. ❤😊

Tiffany love this!! Us here on East Coast struggle. Even this week I find myself dragging in my workout. Sun came out for seconds I like “aaaa”. I start my new job tomorrow it’s a 360 in schedule for me, but excitement of that is keeping me going. I use my therapy light everyday when I put my make up on the morning.

I get the summer blues. I wonder if that's a thing. I'm from So Cal and by September I am so sick of the hot hot weather makes me down..

[@Shellbelldeluna]

I have been loving the orange burst burn since you’ve introduced it… i drink it everyday almost. I can’t wait to try the other flavors 😊

[@laural1165]

Very helpful tips Tiffany. I’m in SoCal and we’re having unusually cold nights and shorter days so this was very much needed. I loved your sleeping tree analogy 😊 makes perfect sense. Happy wintering❤

[@LorettaNance]

What great information. Even in Southern California, we get cloudy gloomy days. It can hit hard.

I have summer blues. Winter is so much better for me than the summer. In Texas we have a month or two cool / cold weather and basically the rest is hot and humid.

[@browneyedgirl425]

Same for me!!! I'm in GA & dread spring & summer!!! I hibernate during the hot weather 😢 We are getting some nice cold weather & possibly snow...I'm so excited & love the winter!!! 🤍❄️🩵

[@carmenwall5220]

Amazing video. It was incredibly kind of you to freely share your knowledge and experience with those of us that do struggle during this time of year. I’m going to try a few of your tips like cutting back on the caffeine and trying a light daily exercise. I had no idea that those could help with my seasonal depression. Thank you so much for sharing.

No caffiene? Now I'm depressed! It is the one thing that gets me out of bed on the morning! I did notice yesterday, as I was food prepping for dinner, that is was lighter than usual at 4:30pm and thought, Yes! Every day will be more daylight!

[@doriskey6374]

Great video

[@pamelab1175]

I lived in Ohio and know what gloomy days are. We moved to Georgia. The weather is way better here. We do have the occasional gloomy day. But the sun shines way more here. And I’m happy for that. I don’t like cold weather. I’m ready for the 90 degree days. And it’s going to be really cold here the next few days, or night. But I do notice that the days are getting a little longer. And I’m happy for that too. I don’t use light therapy. I just turn a lot of lights in my house on. I did that today, because it was gloomy here. And when it is I don’t do much. I just ordered some workout clothes so I can exercise. I’m hoping that will motivate me to move more. I don’t do as much as I should. I’m always on the sofa with a blanket all day. We still have dandelions that are alive in our backyard. It just snowed here. And they’re still there.

[@robertam4108]

This was a great video. I need the sunlight. When it is cold outside generally that means for us the sun will shine. I would rather have that than a dreary warmer winter day. I start spring cleaning in February just to keep busy inside and get something done so once its warmer we can be outside. I like the idea of planning for warmer weather. Highly recommend this type of video each year.

There are fun non alcoholic refreshing beverages you could try... what about smoothies with fruits and greens? Lots of recipes online...

[@Champagne_Taste]

Great tips, Tiffany! I always say I get “sad” in winter, especially after Christmas. The first part of late autumn and early winter I’m busy preparing for all the festivities and enjoying every moment… then, just like that, they are over. Working out and preparing my week helps me stay on track and forces me to “do the things” I could easily stop in winter. Your natural light suggestion also helps me- one of the first things I do in the morning - I open up all the curtains or blinds.🩷

[@Suzanne9157]

Great video! Thank you
