Are you feeling the winter blues…and it’s not even winter yet? Winter officially starts on the 21st. There’s a great story about what the Nordic countries are doing. They’re no strangers to long, dark winters.
Norway, Sweden and Finland constantly top the list of the ‘happiest countries in the world’! Experts in these countries were asked what do they do to cope with the long, dark winter nights! Above all, they said: maintaining sleep and social habits! Have a friend join you for a walk. Get out and take in as much sunshine as you can. Or indoors – light therapy is huge in those Nordic countries.
The #1 suggestion: Look on the brightside. Embrace winter, don’t dread it. Appreciate the changing of the season. Challenge yourself to look for the brightness in the dark of winter.
