Are you Ready??
It got me thinking about all the fun that comes with snow. Sleding, snow ball fights, making a snow-man with the kiddos.. But then I thought- Hmm. I know some folks who get aalittle "blah" during the grey sky, cold night season.. I conjured up some pretty interesting tips on how to fight that dreaded state, and when all else fails, put on your snow suit and re-live those childhood experiences! Your neighbors may think your strange but they may love you for it too! (Think snow angels people! )
Here are some great tips to give you cheer during the cold season ahead.
1. Wear colorful clothing!
Think about it: Don't you feel more cheery when you wear that yellow sweater than when you put on that gray sweatshirt? Clothing that's bright will instantly put you in a cheerful mood and even make others around you feel merry as they visually absorb your brightness. That means you help cheer up others, too.
2. Paint your home or office.
Give your home or workplace an inspiring, lively ambiance with a new coat of bright paint. Vibrant colors such as yellows or oranges will fill a room with excitement and warmth, while dark colors like grays or browns create a boring, monotonous feeling.

Yellows and oranges promote joy and laughter and also aid in improving focus. The more surrounded you are with rich colors, the happier you are! Pastel colors, such as lavender and pinks, can help you manage stress because these soft, soothing colors foster calm feelings
3.Accesorize with bright hues.
Maybe painting is out of the question at this time. That is okay! Pick up a bright throw pillow or blanket, or how about a fun area rug. Fun bouquets of bright sunflowers and tulips can do alot to liven up your space too!
Yum..During these winter months, we often resort to comfort foods, such as mashed potatoes, heavy soups and pastas, which are brown and tan-colored, and not as uplifting as the colorful, fresh foods we eat in the summer months. Stick with the rich-colored foods in the winter so you feel more joyful and fill your plate with more nutrient-dense foods.
Hope you find this informative!! In the least now you have an excuse to reward yourself (and your spirit) with a new coat or a snazzy new comforter for your bedroom!Why not!
