Movement Energizes


If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

What's the problem? Sometimes we have a generalized sense that something is not right, without not knowing the true problem. This is especially common when the weather is cold and gray, the days are short, and we are housebound.

If you are feeling the "winter blahs," try...

1. Get more physical exercise, even if it's on the treadmill.

2. Crank up the lights around you.

3. Focus on projects that keep you mentally and physically active and interacting with others.

4. Grant yourself both hot-chocolate-and-a-blanket times and get-out-of-your-chair-and-get-active times.

Movement energizes.
- Mary Anne Radmacher
