7 Tips On Ditching Winter Blues

If you winter in Texas you already know that the weather can be a bit misleading. Heck, most of the winter feels like spring and then it turns cold just as you were about to unpack your t-shirts and shorts.
We have some tips for making it through that short time frame before the temps start rising and the shorts come out.
Get plenty of sun: Make sure to get outside and soak up some sunshine whenever you can. Even if it's cloudy, try to get some natural light to help boost your mood.
Stay active: Exercise releases endorphins which can help you feel better and combat the winter blues. Even if it's cold out, bundle up and go for a walk or try some indoor exercises.
Connect with friends and family: Staying connected with people you care about can be a great way to beat the winter blues. If you can't meet up in person, try having a video call or phone call with your loved ones.
Make your space cozy: This can help you feel more relaxed and content in your home. Try adding some warm-colored throws, scented candles, or your favorite home decor to make your space feel more inviting.
Listen to music: Music can be a great way to lift your mood and boost your energy levels. Create a playlist with some of your favorite songs and listen to it when you're feeling down.
Take up a new hobby: Trying something new can help you break out of your daily routine and give you something to look forward to. Try a new craft or explore an area of interest that you haven't had a chance to explore yet.
Get enough sleep: A lack of sleep can make it harder to cope with the winter blues. Make sure you're getting enough rest and aim for at least 8 hours of sleep a night.
