I'm not a big fan of the cold days and dark evenings. All I really want to do is lock myself away until the warmer weather. No chance of that, though.
If Winter gets you feeling blue too, I have put a list of things together of some things that cheer me up.
Maybe you can try a few of these things too?
11 Things That Cheer Me Up In Winter:
1.) Wrapping up warm:
At night once the children have come in from school and we have all done our daily runs and had a shower, I like to wrap up nice and warm in cosy PJ's and a nice warm dressing gown and rabbit style slippers!ππ {I wrote a post here on 7 Ways To Stay Warm And Cosy.}
2.) Trying to keeping myself looking nice and tidy:
3.) Going out:
4.) Feeling fresh and taking an afternoon nap:
5.) Treating myself to something:
6.) Going to the gym:
7.) Clearing out:
8.) Baking:
9.) A break from the internet:
10.) Got the house to myself!?
11.) Watching the lighter nights appear:
2.) Trying to keeping myself looking nice and tidy:
New hair cut. π New jumper or new lipstick always cheer me up. Anything Red. LiLipstick, jumpers, a red dress. Anything nice and cheerful. Winter is so dark and dull. So anything to brightens it up a little.
3.) Going out:
Meeting a family member for lunch, coffee or even a going on a shopping trip! π
4.) Feeling fresh and taking an afternoon nap:
π€ It cheered me up no end last Friday after working hard at a spinning class. My body is always fighting colds and fever at this time of year.
5.) Treating myself to something:
Treating myself to a nice cup of coffee, cake, flowers or chocolates. πIt doesn't have to be anything much, just a couple of pounds and they make me cheerful. π
6.) Going to the gym:
It makes me feel so much better after a good workout. I am buzzing after a 45 minutes spinning class. Sometimes it is hard to make myself get out on the push bike out and go to the gym when it is cold and icy. I am always happier once I have been, though. π
7.) Clearing out:
Cleaning up my home and chucking away old things. De-cluttering things we no longer need and sorting out bags full of unwanted clothes for the charity collection. Reminds me I must put the bag out for collection tomorrow!!
8.) Baking:
How yummy are nice warm cookie. πͺWarm cookies are the best! Straight from the oven.
9.) A break from the internet:
π³ Walk away, spend a few hours apart from all social media channels. Come back refreshed. Checking Twitter, Facebook and emails can take a big chunk out your day.
10.) Got the house to myself!?
Run a nice hot bubble bath and chill. π
11.) Watching the lighter nights appear:
π Not every night as it would get boring. Ever 3 or 4 watching what time it gets dark or should I say how much longer the day light lasts for. Knowing Spring is just around the corner: I am now on the hunt for any natural signs of Spring. Come on Crocuses, it can not be too long before you make an appearance? ⚘
