I had someone suggest to me that surrounding yourself with green plants and flowers and using light bulbs that give off more natural light help up your mood. Also bright colors, warm tones, like yellows and oranges help cheer you up.

Exercise and staying busy usually works for me.

I wish I knew the answer. I am with Living Doll, just get out and excersize so you can be cut like Jesus come spring

Exercise, vitamins, omega 3's. They've been helping my winter blues a LOT this season. Usually I don't stick with a regimen long enough to see if it actually works, but so far so good.

I always find that exercising puts me in a better frame of mind. Even when it's cold out I try to walk at least around the block. I also have a treadmill, so walking or jogging on that helps.

Play with toys, go walk the mall but don't buy anything. I am so glad that I don't live up north anymore.

Same thing for me. I really don't know what would help. Maybe turn up the heat and drink hot chocolate? I think that might be a temporary fix.
