The weather is freezing and the days are shorter and darker. We get it- winter is a pretty dreary time. With the holiday cheer behind us, it’s easy to want to hibernate this time of year. But you don’t need to wait until spring to feel renewed and rejuvenated.

There are plenty of simple and easy ways to keep your spirits up and feel ready to take on each day. Even if this winter seems like it will never end, these tips will help you make the most of each day.

Get moving

Exercise is a great way to stay positive and healthy, even if going outside in freezing cold weather is the last thing you want to do. You don’t have to go all out on that 10-mile run though. There are plenty of online workout videos you can watch, from high intensity interval training to yoga. Even taking a 30-minute walk will keep you healthy and happy.

Get outside

Speaking of taking a walk outside- go get some fresh sunlight! The natural light, especially first thing in the morning, is a great way to jump start your circadian rhythm. Make sure you stay warm with a hat and scarf of course. Be sure to use these Macy’s coupons, offers and deals to get some new winter accessories.

See friends

While it maybe tempting to cancel all your plans, keep your appointments. Continue to see people and make dates with friends. Staying social and connected to your community will keep you happy. You can even host a cozy winter party at your home, with warm drinks and good company. Make sure everyone stays warm with some scented candles to keep a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. You can use these Yankee Candle coupons, offers and deals to purchase vanilla, coconut or ocean breeze scents.

TLC

Make the most of the comforts of your home and have a self-care day. Take time to meditate, write, read, listen to music- whatever you want to do. Just take time to yourself and to relax.

Eat healthy

It’s harder to eat healthy in the winter when all we want to do is curl up with a bowl of mac ‘n’ cheese. But you can make recipes that are still comforting and good for you. Try roasting vegetables like carrots, parsnips, beets and brussels sprouts with garlic. Need a good roasting pan?
