The Easy Way to Fight Winter Blues

It was my first time to face the winter blues last winter.

I found that when returning from the office I was feeling more tired than usual.I was going to go to a movie with my friend at night, but was feeling anxious and decided to cancel.

When I got home from work, I felt irritated and didn't want to move at all. I ate more than what I normally eat in dinner and slept for long hours.

It was also difficult to wake up. I called my friend who told me that I could be suffering from winter blues.

He advised me to keep the lights on, do some basic aerobic exercises, wear winter clothes and go outside and get plenty of sunlight.

I wasn’t sure this would work, but did follow their advice, and found myself feeling so much better.

I guess if there is a lesson here, it is that we need sunlight all through the winter to feel mentally and emotionally well.

Even though this is an easy solution, it is one that I would have overlooked!
