17. 1. Keep active - Research has shown that a daily one-hour walk, in the middle of the day, could be as helpful as light
treatment for coping with the winter blues.
2. Get outside- Go outdoors in natural daylight as much as possible, especially at midday and on brighter days. Inside
your home, choose pale colors that reflect light from outside, and sit near windows whenever you can.
3. Keep Your Resolutions - Whether you've been meaning to quit smoking or get to the gym more, staying on track with
your resolutions will give you a sense of accomplishment and a goal to keep you motivated.
4. Eat healthily- A healthy diet will boost your mood, give you more energy and stop you putting on weight over winter.
Balance your craving for carbohydrates, such as pasta and potatoes, with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Good
food sources of vitamin D include oily fish and eggs.
5. See the light- Light therapy can be effective in up to 85% of diagnosed cases. One way to get light therapy at home in
winter is to sit in front of a light box for up to two hours a day. Light boxes give out very bright light that is at least 10
times stronger than ordinary home and office lighting.
6. Take up a new hobby - Keeping your mind active with a new interest. It could be anything, such as playing bridge,
singing, knitting, joining a gym, keeping a journal or writing a blog. The important thing is that you have something to
look forward to and concentrate on.
7. See your friends and family “Don’t be a Hermit”- It’s been shown that socializing is good for your mental health and
helps ward off the winter blues. Make an effort to keep in touch with people you care about and accept any invitations
you get to social events, even if you only go for a little while. It will really help to lift your spirits.
8. Keep warm- Being cold makes you more depressed. It’s also been shown that staying warm can reduce the winter blues
by half. Keep warm with hot drinks and hot food. Wear warm clothes and shoes and aim to keep your home between 64F
and 70F degrees.
9. Consider Aromatherapy - Smells can be a big source of comfort and evoke memories of happier times. If you're a big
believer in alternative medicine, or even if you're a skeptic, it's worth giving aromatherapy a shot to lift your spirits.
10. Indulge a Little - Is there anything a little chocolate can't fix? Some research suggests that dark chocolate (we're
talking 70 percent cocoa or more) helps boost dopamine levels in your brain.
