Winter Blues

It's that time of year when the holidays are over, the kids are back at school, and winter has settled in. When fortunate souls are able to get away for sun and fun in the tropics. I understand why so many of us become depressed and disillusioned as we battle against the cold. Its the lack of light, for those of us living in the northern hemisphere, and the parties are over from the holidays. Bummer.

It's time to face all those new year resolutions we've made. Will we manage to keep our commitments to ourselves? Why does this seem so hard? Is it because we have become accustomed to our routines and human beings resist change? We like to stay at our present comfort level. Play it safe. We must be willing to feel uncomfortable for a time in order for things to change. If not, all will remain the same. If we want things to be different, we have to be different. Start with your head and your thoughts. What are you focusing on everyday? What is the running mantra or recurring theme played over and over. Start there, become aware of your thoughts, you might be surprised what you'll find.

Hi Ring, Thank you for your comment. I'll have to find a translator.
