holding onto piles of paper that serve
no purpose? Do you have more little
black dresses than you could ever
wear? Are there medications and
cosmetics in your closet that expired
in the last millennium? Getting organized can be empowering and can
help you devise a game plan for moving forward into spring.
3. Color Your World: You don’t
have to dress in bleak colors just
because it’s cold and dark outside. Put
on a bright sweater, break out your
most dazzling jewelry (even if it’s costume jewelry), or buy a colorful hat
to warm you up. Add some color to
an otherwise cold winter’s day. Don’t
limit yourself to your black wardrobe
just because there’s a temperature
dip!
4. Sleep Date: Winter is a great
time to catch up on sleep and to exercise good sleep hygiene. Think calm!
It’s a good idea to avoid watching the
evening news prior to bedtime. There
aren’t too many calming stories being
told in the media. Instead, listen to
soothing music, visualize peaceful
settings, or read excerpts from uplifting books. You may find that spraying
your pillows with a lavender scent
might help you drift off into a peaceful sleep.
5. Be a Trailblazer: Engage in
sports that are ideal in winter wonderlands. Take hikes; ski; ice skate;
make snowmen (and women); or
take brisk walks in the park. Get your
body in gear and it will perform at
maximum capacity. If you’re a member of a gym, take advantage of classes, such as yoga, aerobics, Zumba,
and free-weight classes. Splurge on a
personal trainer who can tweak your
current workout regimen to accelerate your results.
