Read Time:2 Minute, 13 Second

The winter months can bring about the blues for some of us. For those of us in warmer climates, the weather can feel like a shock and we just want to curl up in a ball; For those of us who are even used to the cold, winter brings thoughts of dreaded preparation, shoveling snow, defrosting cars and expensive maintenance.

Nonetheless, we must keep our spirits up and continue our work to reach our goals. Here we made a list of Three W’s to remember or three ways to “Warm up” for a Successful Winter.

Warm Thoughts

In case you haven’t heard the old adage, your thoughts have power. Our thoughts have the literal ability to affect us physically, both positively and negatively. The good new is, YOU get to choose. Well how do you do this? You swipe away bad thoughts and replace them with good ones. Particularly warm thoughts. Think of great winter memories and upcoming events like Christmas or something as simple as your Wednesday pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks.

Warm Your Body

During the winter months, to get a move on each day, you’re going to want to warm up your body first thing during your morning routine. This gets your blood warmed up and flowing so you’re more willing to stay out of bed and get things done. You also may want to have something warm to drink just to wake up cells and get your mind more alert.

We recommend healthier options such as Yerba Mate or hot Tea instead of Coffee, if you decide you want a kick. Also it doesn’t hurt to add some great winter wardrobe pieces like an fancy looking peacoat. Just google it, if you don’t what that is and imagine how classy you’d look. Or get a scarf with your favorite sports team or some stylish boots. Anything that gives you a smile and makes you feel good.

Warmup For New Year

We like to view winter is as a warm up to the new year. As you know some mammals go into hibernation during the winter. They get their bearings, no pun intended, and rejuvenate themselves for when the warm weather returns.

Instead of viewing winter as a depressing time that will hinder your goals, think of it as bootcamp to tough it out and emerge like a butterfly when spring returns. Not to mention all your daily objectives to reach your goals, will feel easier when warmer weather comes back.

So use the winter months to prepare.
