Beat the Autumn Blues

9/23/2016

Have you ever noticed your mood going down drastically just before the winter?  The autumn blues (dreadfulness) can be effectively bypassed by introducing just tiny changes in our daily lives.  It’s quite natural to feel a lack of energy when winter approaches. Nature is preparing for rest and probably has the same intentions as us.

If you are sick and tired of being in a bad mood and worn down, try some these methods for bypassing the autumn blues.

1) When you can, catch some sun
2) Make a list of your most popular songs and record them on a disc
3) Every night, before you go to sleep, write down on a piece of paper three things you can be      grateful for that day
4) Have a meal that is not on your weekly menu
5) Surround yourself with cheerful and energetic people
6) Regularly upgrade you knowledge
7) Go to the movies, listen to an exciting audio book, or go to the spa
8) Volunteer or do a good deed
9) When thinking “What if...?” focus on positive outcomes
