Battling the Winter Blues

February is a peak time for people who suffer winter blues.
By this time of year, we are completely fed up with the cold and the dark and the damp of winter. It is time to do things to break the frustration. Here are some ideas!

Bring some light into your life!
Lighting your space up with extra light, opening the curtains or adding a couple extra candles to your altar will do just that. You can also start by changing the color of your clothing. Shift the shades to something lighter and brighter!

Cleanse out the negative!
Purge the clutter and banish he unused/unusables from your home and life. Start that spring cleaning EARLY! That way, by the time March comes, you will be ready for SPRING! Take a cleansing bath (we suggest our Men's or Women's Spiritual Cleansing bath salts). Do a sage smudging around your home and open all the windows for an hour. This will cleanse the negative as well as the old winter air from your home.

Bring in joy!
This time of year we see florists and garden centres bringing out their spring flowers. Daffodiles, crocuses, hyacinths are bright and playful flowers to bring into your home. They are just blooming. Hyacinth will also bring a light fresh and floral scent to make you smile! Buy and eat oranges or burn orange or citrus or sweet scented incense in your home. Listen to music that inspires you to write, draw, sing or dance. Get your body moving! Joining a gym to ready your self for summer fun is another great idea. Better yet, get your friends involved and go together! Do something completely random and fun!!
