Positively Speaking: Patricia's Perspective

Preparing for Winter Wellness
The coldness and early dark evening winter months in Rhode Island and New England can be tough on our bodies and minds. Many people feel down or have “winter blues” during this time. Mood changes often begin and end when the seasons change. For some, the mood changes can affect our thinking and feeling and how we handle of our daily life. If theses changes are more serious when the seasons change, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can develop, a type of depression.
On the side of prevention, here are some tips and strategies to stay healthy and happy during the winter months:
Move often. Walk, dance, play a sport, do something that rids tension from the body. When you move, serotonin is released in the brain- producing endorphins, the happy chemicals
Laugh more. Laughter suppresses the stress-related hormones in the brain, and activates the immune system. Laughter also stimulates deep breathing as well as strengthens the immune system and massages your internal organs.
Breathe for Vitality. The oxygen that the breath brings to your lungs is your life force. When you are aware of your breathing, you are focusing your mind. Breathing deeply and fully with great focus can energize and invigorate you.
Eat food that nourishes your body. This enhances your energy. Also be mindful by focusing on the eating experiences, sensations and your heightened awareness.
Sleep. Getting enough sleep is essential for helping a person maintain optimal health and well-being. When it comes to health, sleep is as vital as regular exercise and eating a balanced diet.
Be out in nature. Exposure to nature makes you feel better emotionally and contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones.
Pamper yourself. A massage, or facial can restore and rejuvenate you. Pampering can also be luxuriating in the simple beauty of your environment. These include hot baths, long walks in nature, reading a good book, watching a feel-good movie, creating a healthy gourmet meal of any choice that “fills your cup,” so you can share what’s “in your glass.”
Share with friends. Cultivate strong networks which has been shown to help you live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives
Count all your blessings. Assess what is working in your life on a daily basis.
Seek peace of mind. Peace of mind translates into good health
because so much of our disease is caused by stress and burnout.
