Even if you don’t have seasonal affective disorder, you may be feeling a little cooped up and blah this season. It’s chilly outside, the sky is gray and there are no festivals, open-air markets and fairs this time of year. I can empathize. My skin is dry thanks to the indoor heat and yet my face is also wind burned from the time I spend running from my car to my destination. Most people countdown to the holidays or their days off of work, I’m counting the days to warmer weather.
Until April rolls around though I know I need to keep my spirits up and my days busy so I don’t spend all of my time day dreaming about living on a beautiful island somewhere. To beat the winter blahs and for joint health, I exercise in the gym (even if I have a day where I’m not motivated, the people there motivate me), make sure I go out and socialize with others (regardless of how cold it is outside), eat a healthy diet and take my liquid vitamin D3 nutritional supplement. Until I can feel the sun shining on my skin and lightening my mood I am definitely going to do what I can to enjoy the cold days ahead.
