Here are some simple ways to keep moving, even when the weather isn’t great. 1. Try Indoor Workouts:  If it's freezing rain, bring your workout indoors. You can follow workout videos online, do yoga, or try simple exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, and jumping jacks at home. 2. Walk Indoors: If you can't walk outside, try walking in larger stores or other indoor spaces. Even just pacing during phone calls in your house can add up! 3. Make it Social: Invite family or friends to join you in your workout. Play an active video game, have a dance party, or go bowling to keep it fun.

To balance out the dark, cold, windy, and dry qualities of winter, here are some tips to keep your body, mind, and spirit thriving: Move every day in a way that you enjoy; walk outside and get some winter sun, try yoga at home, swim at the local indoor pool, cycle, etc. Cook seasonal vegetables, make soups and stews, eat a warm breakfast like oats, and incorporate healthy oils like olive oil or ghee into your meals. Keep warm colors around you to combat the winter "blues". Orange, gold, deep reds, encourage a cozy feeling. Cover up with a hat and scarf not only keeps you warm but also provides a sense of safety and calm when it's cold and windy.

Winter can be a good time to reflect on yourself. Try something new! Get creative and pick up a new hobby, book, puzzle, something that excites you...
