I find that exercising sometimes helps with seasonal depression. Do you ever go out to run or lift or anything?

Hi. Yes I do go out for walk my dog. It does help.

visiting an art museum is a good idea. If you like learning things I highly recommend domestika. they have perpetual sales. fun little courses in all sorts of things. I take advantage of cheap winter fares. Even a weekend close by helps. or a spa day... anything special. my doctor says she has patients that take or up an anti-depressant every year for just this reason. Get off the computer and tv. Find a good book instead. Reason is the light is blue and keeps you up. In the dark it is even brighter.

Thank you. These are great suggestions ❤️

Winter is my favorite season. Try to get outdoors as much as possible, just be sure to dress for the occasion. Lots of soft layering, a warm hat and good winter boots help a great deal. If your health allows, pick up a light weight shovel and clear some snow. Just shovel a small amount at a time and take it slow and easy. Best exercise ever, and you will stay warm.

Don't forget to make a snow angel. ❄️

We can't stop the winter from coming, so we need to do our best to embrace it. ☃️

Sounds nice! I too often lonely staying indoors during winters. Will try to embrace me the next winter with these ideas. Thank you!

I don't mind the cold, but we're having a lot of foggy days. I actually drove north one day and it was sunny a half hour up the road and it did help.
