• Up your light bulb wattage to make dreary days brighter
• Limit sugary foods
• Don’t over sleep – keep sleep schedule normal

• Brew a daily cup of tea (green tea for day/chamomile for evening)
• Indulge in a couple bites of dark chocolate
• Pack fruits in a bag for mid day pick-me-ups
• Add the following foods into your diet to reduce anxiety and winter blues: bananas, strawberries (frozen is handy), blueberries (frozen works too), nuts (walnuts & cashews), seeds (pumpkin & chia), oranges, apple, pineapple, tomatoes, broccoli, pumpkin, spinach, sweet potatoes, peppers, beans, garlic (roasted or added in other recipes), oatmeal, grains (lentils & quinoa), lean proteins (turkey, chicken breasts, fish, lean cuts of beef & pork)
