It doesn\u2019t matter what you do, as long as you get up and start moving!<\/li>\n<li>Pleasant distractions \u2013 When you feel the wintertime blues creeping up on you, one great way to keep them at bay is to consciously plan some fun activity to treat yourself with. It could be anything from reconnecting with a friend you haven\u2019t seen in far too long, to a cup of hot chocolate from your favorite coffee shop, or anything else that will bring a smile to your face.\u00a0 Just give yourself a little treat as a distraction.<\/li>\n<li>Talk it out \u2013 A good conversation might not be able to fix all the world\u2019s problems, but sometimes, just the simple act of sitting down and having a great conversation can chase the blues away.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s a matter of perspective \u2013 When the wintertime blues start encroaching, it\u2019s all too easy to focus on what\u2019s going wrong in your life. When you feel negativity beginning to take root, press pause, take a deep breath and flip the script.\u00a0 Focus on, and take stock of the good things in your life.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing what even just a little positive thinking can do!<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you\u2019re getting enough Vitamin D! When the sun goes away for the winter, the body misses out on this important vitamin that the sun provides. This not only causes depression in some people, but it decreases the immune system\u2019s ability to fight off viruses and infections. There are multiple ways you can get Vitamin D, including vitamins, drinking milk, or eating certain vegetables!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bottom line is, you don\u2019t have to let the winter weather get you down.\u00a0 There are things you can do to improve your outlook, disposition, and mood!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-360\" src=\"http:\/\/radianthealth.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/resized-for-winter-blues-article.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>You may be surprised to hear it, but Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), is a real condition and it\u2019s not uncommon for people to get the blues during the winter months.\u00a0 If &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2533"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2533\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2539,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2533\/revisions\/2539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radianthealth.us\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
