25 degrees… 60 degrees… 40 degrees...

Dealing with Colorado's weather is exciting and fun for some, and down rite difficult for others!  If you find yourself struggling with your mood, motivation, or energy level when the weather shifts… you may not have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD); you may just be dealing with Colorado!  Some tips on increasing your overall well-being through the colorful Colorado winter:

Mood: Try to do something that makes you smile at least one time a day; this could be as simple as admiring the beauty in the sky, being grateful for your family/job/pets/friends, being proud of something you've accomplished.  

Motivation: Create a small list of items you would like achieve each day, week, month AND Give yourself the freedom to do something spontaneous!  

Energy:  All I can say is EXERCISE and MOVEMENT!  This can be full on working out at the gym or dancing in your living room to your favorite song.  When you move, you will create energy!

Most of all, just know it's normal to experience a mood shift when the weather shifts!  Hang in there… what do they say in Colorado?  If you don't like the weather, wait 20 minutes :)
