January Blues: The funk you enter when the holiday season is over. An unpleasant time featuring returning to school, crappy weather, Spring being far away, and all the movies are lousy.Motivation to go outside, get fresh air (Which is great for your lungs because it cleans out dust from indoor air) and exercise is slim to none when its cold, snowy, and dark. Take advantage of the light days. Go outside in your snowpants, boots, hats and mittens to build a snowman, go winter disc golfing, create a snow fort and have a snowball fight. Snow angels are scarce nowadays. Play!
I finally was able to go play in the snow, run after my disc, sled down hills, and let the kid in me out. Its amazing what getting out and trudging through tons of snow will do for your body, mind, and spirit. I am no longer restless, can focus on homework, clean my room, and write. Next time you have a headache, bundle up and play. The outdoors have so much more to offer than you can imagine
