If the colder weather and shorter days are causing you to feel the winter blues, you’re not alone. It’s not uncommon at this time of the year to experience fatigue, sadness, difficulty concentrating and sleep disruptions. A recent article in verywell mind offers 10 suggestions for overcoming these feelings. They include taking a break from the non-stop news cycle; adding more protein and foods high in Vitamin D to your diet; adopting sleep practices that will help ensure proper rest; engaging in physical activity; and getting sunlight.
