The Winter Blues: "Stick to the Plan, Not the Mood"

As we enter what many consider the hardest stretch of the year (January through March) we’re talking about the winter blues. In this episode, we break down the difference between Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the more mild version of seasonal heaviness that so many people experience. We explore some eye-opening statistics, unpack why this season can feel especially challenging, and share practical, realistic ways to support yourself through it.Instead of fighting winter, we’re choosing to reframe it. This season, we’re leaning into what winter offers, such as rest, reflection, and a slower pace. We find ways to optimize our routines, mindset, and energy along the way. Sip of the Week: London Fog (Earl Grey Tea steeped in water with a dash of vanilla extract, topped with steamed milk & a hint of cinnamon)Follow the pod!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takeithomepod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takeithomepodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578799063992Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeItHomePodFollow your Hosts!Marisa: https://www.instagram.com/marisanahas/https://www.tiktok.com/@marisanahasNoelle:https://www.instagram.com/noellecornelius/https://www.tiktok.com/@noellecornelius
