3 Inspiring Ways Out Of The ‘Winter Funk’

The ‘winter funk’ is something we’re all familiar with. As the sun prefers the other half of the planet for around three months, the lack of vitamin D we feel can lead to a lack of positive mood. People are much more likely to get depressed and feel lethargic around winter, and that can lead to a number of issues. Everyone will experience a winter funk at some point in their lives, but that doesn’t mean it’s something to be relied on.

While getting out of bed in the morning is surely that little more difficult when it’s cold outside and your bed is so comfortable and warm, that doesn’t mean the rest of your day should feel as rough as those first few minutes. We’re offering five memorable tips to keep you out of the winter funk feeling, so you can achieve and feel wonderful all winter long, as you hope to.

Festive Plans

Christmas is the time where people who are alone feel their loneliness much more acutely. For this reason, it’s important to make solid festive plans with your friends and family. If you have neither friends or family, you can be sure that your local church or community hall will have something on. If you contribute to a hobby outside of your four walls, you have an excuse to leave the house around Christmas. Just getting out and social with people can help you to no end in the first instance, so it’s important to consider that here and make sure you try your best to nurture connections well in advance.

Walk

If your normal day includes getting up, driving to work, sitting all day in an office, coming home and then repeating the process, you aren’t actually enveloping yourself in the winter cold. Avoiding outside is relatively simple to do when the nights are cold, and there’s seemingly little to do outside. Getting in nature, even though it’s dying is important to do here.

Staying within four walls might be warm, but it rarely affords you any satisfaction. If that means walking partly to work in the crisp morning to wake you up, or attending cold sports events in the evening, feeling the cold can be healthy for your system and shock you into being aware and less lethargic.

Make-Over

It’s no lie to say that getting a makeover could help you in a wonderful way. Sometimes, we feel in a funk because we believe our life is not moving at the pace it should be, and it demotivates us. When we’re demotivated, we look at ourselves in a certain way. Over time, we start to become insecure, and maybe even pay less attention to the way we look. This can lead to a whole host of issues, as it’s a slippery slope.

If this sounds like you, it might be time for a makeover. Purchase some new fine threads, ones that make you feel wonderful, are in fashion and fit your frame well. This will help you physically show yourself that you are worthy of such clothing. Wearing it will make you feel fantastic, and you’ll look wonderful. It’s amazing how great you can feel when you look fresh and updated.

Hopefully, these tips will help your winter funk either stay prevented, or stay short-lived.
