Are you feeling tired and down? Dark and gloomy days can lower your mood-regulating serotonin, which may mean that more stress and less energy. This state can lead to seasonal affective disorder. If you are feeling or experiencing these kinds of emotions, try these pick-me-ups for the winter.

Hit the pavement — a brisk walk for at least 10mins can elevate the mood for up to 2hrs. Lighten up — sitting by the window helps as the sun can boost serotonin. Brighten up — decorate with mums. Orange can trigger cheery feelings.

If the above tips don’t help, consult your doctor. ;)
