Welcome Winter


Winter is upon us!  Welcome snowmen, icicles, snow covered trees, and slippery roads.  Winter can be tough for those folks with low body weight.  It can get darn cold out there.  And here in Cleveland, it can get rather dreary.   Here are a few suggestions to help you stay warm this season:

Thermal reflective lining jacket

A new pair of fun mittens

Electric blanket

Personal heater

Warm baths

A mug of hot cocoa or decaf tea

A bowl of hot soup

Cuddle with a person or furry friend

Stop commenting on the weather (What’s the point?)

Notice the beauty of the season

If you find yourself suffering from SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder, consider a light box.  There is now even a light box that is mounted to the underside of a baseball cap.  You will need at least 30 minutes/day, preferable in the morning.  Then go change all your yellow light bulbs to white.  It helps, really!

Try one or all of these suggestions.  They won’t change the temperature outside or make the sun come out, and they will make your day a little brighter and warmer.  Much of your present condition is dictated by our state of mind.  And you can change your state of mind.

Stay present and enjoy!
