'Winter will surely be the death of me. As a matter of fact, I think the definition of winter should be 'the process of getting knocked the (bleep) out for a season...' Here are tips I’ve found along the way for making it through winter 'alive-ish.''
Make your home cozy. If you have to be stuck inside, you need to feel good about where you’re spending your time. A warm fire in the fireplace is a quick way to improve your mood, but if you don’t have a fireplace, you can also use table lamps to create a similar effect. Using table lamps feels a lot more comfortable than a light overhead, but make sure you choose bulbs that are warmer and more yellow in color, not the over-stimulating blue or white colors.Stimulate your senses.
Eat the right comfort foods. There’s a good reason we turn toward comfort foods in winter. Most of them are generally high in fatty acids, which gives us a nice little serotonin boost. We desperately need it because we have less exposure to the sun’s natural serotonin-boosting rays. I love a good bowl of mashed potatoes, but the carbs in the potato knock me out five minutes after I leave the dinner table.
