Mental health tips for a happy and healthy winter

Winter can be a challenging season for mental health, thanks to fewer sunlight hours and colder weather. However, there are several steps you can incorporate into your routine to promote a happy and healthy winter to stay mentally healthy:

• Add some form of physical activity to each day. Consider indoor exercise options like yoga, home workouts or joining a gym to avoid the cold weather.
• Expose yourself to as much natural light as possible. Open your curtains first thing in the morning, spend time outdoors, and sit by the window if you’re working or relaxing at home.
• Stay connected with loved ones by either chatting with them over the phone, having video calls, or meeting in person.
