Wishing Winter Away
We were talking about ways to banish the winter blues. Getting outside and enjoying the snow or cold sunshine is a great idea, if you can step out during your lunch break or whenever you feel like it, if you work-at-home like me.
Find ways to love yourself. This means you look in the mirror and find at least a couple of things you really like about yourself. Be thankful for your “haves”, and work on the good things about you. If you take pictures, set up a studio for this. If you are real good with crafts, change a room over in your house to make a workshop. I recently started working on crocheting blankets for the disabled veterans and it has really motivated me to complete projects that might otherwise have languished in the “pile of the unfinished”.
Keep your life and time balanced. If you are a hopeless workaholic, just say no. Put an end to dragging your “briefcase full of blues” home at the end of everyday and weekend and spending all your time working. For those with leisure time, balance your work stuff with fun stuff and get outside instead of sitting in front of a computer screen or tv set all day and night.
Winter will be over before you know it. Enjoy the holidays with your family and friends.
