How can I best fight the winter blues?
Every winter I find myself getting sad because of the weather.  How can I fight this?
Depression
<p>One theory is that instead of "fighting" your feelings, accept your sad feelings and work with them. &nbsp; Feeling sad may open many doors to reflect and make peace with the source of your sadness.</p><p>Also, I believe fighting against the natural cycle of rest and hibernation may not even be possible to succeed. &nbsp; Winter for most creatures is a time of withdrawal and slowdown. &nbsp;Our bodies and moods are part of nature as well. &nbsp;Fighting what is part of nature seems like a tiring fight which the person will lose.</p><p>Last point, there are the winter holidays to break up the dark and cold of winter. &nbsp; Maybe you can invent some of your own winter celebrations so you'll have a few gatherings to look forward to hosting.</p>
