How to stay happy and productive at the winter months

It’s Winter, it’s freezing, days are smaller, when we wake up it is still dark,

when we go home after work is dark again, everyone around us is sneezing and

coughing, and all we want is to stay at home with blankets and hot chocolate!

But we aren’t cuddly bears, so

we need to go to work

and be productive.

Just because it is Winter, your motivation

doesn’t need to go down.

Here are some

tips to stay on top at the Winter months.

1. Get moving

Before or after work, you can go outside and run a little or join a gym.

Moving your body regularly can reduce stress and improve sleep. If you’re really not the sporty type, don’t worry, a 20 minute

walk can do wonders to your mood.

2. Don’t be a bear

Hibernating from society at Winter may feel good at first, but after a while can

be depressing.

We are social beings, so we need to

talk and be with other people.

So instead of just send emails to your work mates,

get up and go to their

offices to say hello! And after work, get

together for a chat at the

local coffee shop

or favourite pub.

3. Don’t be a penguin

It’s really hard to work when it’s cold in the office, right?

So regulate your office thermostat

to have a comfortable work temperature.

4. Befriend the weatherman

Is it cold? Is it raining? Is it snowing? What am I

going to wear today? Yes, this little morning

drama, especially for the ladies, can make you being late for work.

So, check out the night before for the

weather reports

and choose your outfit for the next day.

If you are prepared, you will be more relaxed the next morning to start a

great day.

5. Break it

Taking a break is great, but at

Winter months don’t take long

breaks, instead opt

for several mini

breaks. This makes your

muscles move and

you’ll feel more

relaxed and focused.

6. Take care

Avoid being sick by taking good

care of yourself.

Take vitamins,

eat well, get moving and wear

warms clothes to

prevent being ill.

7. Chase the sun

If you’re really not a winter person, plan a winter vacation to

somewhere really sunny! A warmer weather trip together with your family or friends will help

recharge batteries, get natural vitamin D from the sun,

and come back full of energy.

Plan, track and relax
