The cold-weather months can take a toll on your mental health, so it's important to carve out time for yourself.
“Our bodies respond to cold weather by tensing up,” says clinical psychologist Dr. Deborah Offner. “It’s harder to relax when you're holding your body tightly, bracing against the wind and running from place to place. So it’s important to be extra good to yourself and to create more opportunities to relax your body and mind.”
Okay, Dr. Offner, here we go:
