How do you stop winter blues from taking over your life?

Rebecca and Seth Greene tackle winter survival mode in this fun episode of Whinypaluza on Wednesday! Rebecca dishes on her winter struggles (she's clearly not Buffalo's biggest fan this time of year) and shares all her personal hacks for making it through until spring. From cozy blanket nests to unexpected winter pick-me-ups, this conversation is packed with real-life ways to boost your mood when the cold weather's got you down.

Key Takeaways:

→ Get cozy and embrace it! Wrap yourself in blankets with a hot drink, good book, or movie - Rebecca swears by this as her top winter survival strategy.

→ Move your body, even when it's freezing. Rebecca forces herself to walk outside, saying the fresh air and endorphins are worth bundling up for.

→ Change up your space! The Greenes repainted their walls from bold red/orange to calming blue/gray, and Rebecca says the peaceful vibes made a huge difference.

→ Cook up some comfort. Winter is prime time for kitchen therapy - the activity keeps you busy, and the delicious smells are instant mood boosters.

→ Light it up! Rebecca's all about brightness to beat the winter darkness - more lamps, twinkle lights, and even special light therapy can make a big difference.

"I want you to get cozy, and think about it - what better time than winter to get cozy on your couch with a blanket, a hot coffee, and a good book or movie?" - Rebecca Greene

"The cold therapy is actually a thing... going out in the cold and moving in the cold creates even more endorphins that make you happier." - Seth Greene

Rebecca invites everyone to join the Whinypaluza Mom Facebook group for more support. She's also excited about Friday's podcast with Diane Sorenson on her "Beautiful Behavior Blueprint."
