10 ways to stay happy in the Winter

http://www.createyourtruelife.com/

1- If its working, keep doing what your doing.

Whatever youre doing right now with your detox lifestyle that you love, keep doing it. The tendancy is to turn away from what you know and get into big hearty meals, load on sugar and slump on the sofa. Don't do it! Stay with your fab smoothies and juices for the reason why you did in the first place - they give you loads of energy and are packed with nutrition. If its not working, mix it up and research into new ways of doing things. Experiment with warming foods like ginger, cinnamon, dried fruit, Peppers, Oats, etc... More on detoxing.

2- Try Soup for Breakfast.

I know this sounds mental! but the Japanese have been doing it for centuries. Get some Miso soup or just make your own by experimenting with different combinations of veg. Use beans or lentils to thicken. Easy, warming, super tasty, nutritious and you can make batches enough for a couple of days if you like.


3- Go for walks in nature as often as possible. Get the sun on your face.

Get connected to nature at this beautiful time of year. Breathe in deeply when surrounded by trees. Top up on that vitamin D as much as possible. Supplement if you need to.

4- Keep your exercise routine up.

I know, you feel more tired when its dark - me too! But you know you feel a million times better after your workout.

5- Invest in a new coat, a snuggly blanket, a hot water bottle, new slippers and pure wool socks!

Ahhhhh! Treat yourself! These things make you feel snug and wonderful :D

6- Schedule in creative time. 

The Winter is the perfect time to get creative. Make a decoration for Christmas. Make a gift for someone. Make a pie. Whatever you fancy making, go do it. More on creativity.

7- Plan and visualise your future.

This is the perfect time to plan ahead. What would you like to achieve next year? What steps could you do to make this happen? What would love to to if time and money were no object? Dream a little....

8- Meditate

Find quiet time to breathe, centre and ground - often. You'll feel less lost and more like you.  More on meditating.

9- Do a good deed....or two!

Do something for someone that you know they'd love. It doesn't have to be a grand gesture - helping fix something for someone less able than you is a great way to show you care.

10- Embrace who you are and celebrate!

You are awesome! Just being you! Now go celebrate your awesomeness, just for the simple reason that you are alive. You're doing much better than you think.

With much love
