We are in it - the depths of winter.  For many, the winter blues have officially set in. It happens to us all. The good news is that there are many blissful ways to experience joy and positivity even in the coldest, darkest months of winter.

As philosopher and writer Albert Camus so eloquently stated, In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

Tap into your invincible summer with these 7 joyful ways to beat the winter blues...

1. Spend time in nature

With chilly winter temperatures and fewer hours of sunlight per day, it can be challenging to get outside during the winter months. Prioritize 20 minutes a day to suit-up and head for the great outdoors. Spending time in nature has a beautiful way of lifting our spirits and infusing us with joy and optimism - not to mention the benefits of some good ol’ vitamin d. Warm sun, fresh air, perhaps even some snow-covered hills - reconnect to the many joys of nature!

Need a little motivation to get outside this winter? Try our Nature Communion, Andean orchid essence, for enhancing not only your connection to nature, but your connection to your own physical body as well.

2. Stretch out the winter blues

Physical activity is a great way to support joy and well-being throughout winter. Physical activity releases endorphins, hormones that reduce discomfort and promote feelings of joy. Take to your yoga mat and stretch out the winter blues, while simultaneously infusing your mind and body with positivity and optimism.

For added support, reach for our Yoga Mind Mouth Mist. This citrus-y mouth mist will keep your vibes high, while supporting a balanced, yet flexible body and mind. Perfect for powering through the final few weeks of winter!

3. Dance away the blues

Wiggle out the winter blues with a joyful, uplifting dance party. Whether you attend a live concert or dance wildly to your favorite tunes in your living room, a dance party is a surefire way to boost your spirit this winter. Wiggle your body, raise your vibrations, and dance away the winter blues!

4. Turn off & Tune in

Turn off from the overwhelming distractions of email, social media, news outlets, and electronic devices. Take a break from the incessant bombardment of information and tune into your own needs, wants, and desires. Create time for journaling, meditation, reading, and any other activities that allow you to turn off, tune in, and invite balance and equilibrium back into your life.

A mid-winter trip will invite excitement, anticipation, and a welcomed change of scenery to the long, monotonous months of winter. Though it can be simply divine to travel someplace warm and sunny during the winter, it isn’t necessary. Even day trips to nearby locales can lift our spirits and provide a sense of adventure throughout the chilly winter months.
