This week I’m missing sunshine, warm temps, and outdoor fitness! ⛅️
So many of my clients and friends struggle with seasonal depression, or at least a mild case of the winter blues.
Living in the Midwest, where the most popular winter activities are drinking and eating in excess, makes it harder to stick to the healthy habits we know are necessary.
My tips for making it through the winter months:
✅ Make sure the first light your eyes see are direct sunlight, not your phone screen
✅ Incorporate trips to the sauna or red light therapy 2-3/week
✅ Cold plunge or ending your shower with 2 minutes as cold as you can handle daily or 3x/week
✅ Active hobbies - it’s never too cold to bundle up for a hike, find a rock climbing gym, join a fitness class, visit a trampoline park, PLAY inside or outside.
✅ Limit your alcohol intake to 0-3 drinks/week
