Plus, if getting to the gym is just not in the cards for you right now, there are so many ways to reap the benefits of working out right in your own home. Visit YouTube and throw on a pre-recorded Zumba class. You can also try out a new yoga flow, stretch, or simply dance around your apartment to your favorite tunes.
Finally, remember to take your vitamins– Vitamin D especially, since a lack of sunshine exposure can lead to a deficiency. And remember to prioritize your interests during this time of year.
The winter may be depressing for many people. But, without the extra social and travel expectations of summer, it can also be a great time to invest in yourself and finally delve into a new hobby. Maybe you have always wanted to learn sewing, or you are really interested in baking.
Whatever it is, just go for it. Most people are going straight home after work and hanging out at their houses anyway. So, I can assure you that you are not missing out on much and can really capitalize on this time to practice some good ol’ self-care.
It is also important to remember that you are not alone, and these coping mechanisms are not an end-all solution. So, if you are struggling, you can always reach out to a professional for help. Sometimes, even just having someone to talk to can make navigating the winter blues a lot less overwhelming.
