The Homestretch Spring
There is still time of the year. We're stuck in a lull between the excitement of a brand new year and warmth awaited spring and its promise of long summer days. Maybe you are not so enthusiastic that the New Year's resolution or are just tired of the cold and gray February. These last few weeks always seem to drag, but there is good news! Spring is just a few weeks!
You can beat the winter blues by finding what works for you. Try to stay away from the frequent indulgence in temporary solutions as hypersomnia (we know, warm blankets are the best!) Skimping on physical activity, drinking lattes loaded with fancy sugar, shutting out the world for Netflix, and fill yourself to the brim with comfort foods. We are all guilty of at least one of them, and we should be, life is about balance and occasional moments "treatment-yo-self". However, by constantly giving in winter hibernation activities, you will feel zapped in the long term. By keeping your habits or health to return to their for the rest of the winter, you can be equally inspired, healthy and happy you are the rest of the year. Remember: the end (of winter) is close
Use some strategies right to improve your mood we make the final push in the spring.

- Just look out the window is enough to drain your motivation. Motivate yourself to try new things! Whether specific to the season as ice skating, or a new routine of treadmill you find on Pinterest, adding variety can warm a winter's day.
- Chilly agencies sometimes seek hot chocolate, whipped cream topped sugar bombs, simple and carb comfort foods. Indulge without spikes and energy accidents accordingly by tweaking recipes. Try to reduce the added sugar / using stevia, and replacement of things like white bread and pasta, with alternating whole wheat, and sour cream, mayonnaise and butter with Greek yogurt, avocado and sauce apples. You can alleviate almost any dish by googling a recipe plus the word "light"
