| Bring the outdoors inside with bright cheerful house plants |
It’s SAD (seasonal affective disorder) season and apparently today is Blue Monday - saddest day of the year. While I don’t subscribe to labelling days I think it’s always a good idea to have a good list of things or steps we can take, as moms (and humans in general) to get out of a bad funk. Here are 22 things that can help you go from SAD to GLAD. Hope it helps 💜
1. Cook/Eat Happy Foods (like dark chocolate, oats, bananas, berries etc. Even better if you make a happy smoothie)
2. Get Sunshine or Vitamin D ☀️
3. Improve your lighting indoors
4. Clean/Tidy/Organize your home
5. Bring nature inside with a plant 🌱
6. Circulate fresh air in your space daily
7. Fill your space with pleasant scents
8. Rest (when you can and when you must)
9. Healthy Inner Conversations
10. Meditation
11. Journaling
12. Sing/Dance to some music
