Ten Great Ways to Beat the Winter Blues

Get a Reflexology Session - Reflexology refreshes, rejuvenates and relaxes the body, mind, spirit and soul.
Create your own spa experience with a foot soak and your favourite aromatherapy essential oil or bubble bath. Add some smooth river rocks to the water, and move your feet around to stimulate all those wonderful reflexes.

Clear Out Clutter - One of the quickest ways to generate new and fresh energy moving into my space is to clear away stagnant energies by throwing out useless materials. Tossing out trash may seem like work, but it is totally energizing once you get the hang of it.
Take a course - add to your skills. Learn basic reflexology, either in-class or by distant learning. If you are already certified then why not try adding something like Aromatherapy, Herbology or working with Crystals to widen your healing abilities. The whole idea is to get you out of a funk, right?
Become a mentor - share your knowledge with others - you'll be amazed how rewarding it can be.
Change your bed sheets - Better yet, go out and purchase a new set of colorful bed linens to brighten up your bedroom. When is the last time you changed your linens anyway? If you let your routine weekly sheet change slip by then you're certainly in FUNK territory. Crisp, clean, and colorful bed linens to curl up inside at bedtime will offer comfort when you most need it.
Go see a funny movie - Forgo the tear-jerkers and dramas at the theater this time around. You need a good belly-laugh to break that funk, viewing a comedy is your best bet. Invite a friend to go along with you and see who laughs the hardest/longest.
Volunteer at a food bank - Put yourself in a position of service to those who are less fortunate than you are. Your own worries will seem less troubling when you see firsthand the plight of others.
Spend quality time with a child - Take your niece/nephew or a neighbor's child out on a special outing to a zoo or playtime at a nearby park. Even a quick trip to get corn dogs and a root beer float will be appreciated. Children love it when adults give them special attention. Plus, you'll get the satisfaction of not only bringing about a joyful smile on a child's face, you'll be smiling too!
Pamper yourself - Do whatever it is that brings you the most joy. It might be indulging in a bubble bath, reading a saucy romance novel, or breaking out of your routine to go inline skating. Don't tell yourself that you don't deserve it. BECAUSE YOU DO!
