Is this winter giving you the blues?  Are you lacking motivation to do your normal routine?  Well let’s face we all get stuck in a rut every once in while.  But this winter seems to worse than other.   Did you know that January 25th is considered to be the most depressing day of the year?

Citizen Watch wants to help eliminate those blues and help you Get The Most Out of Light.   Beat the Monday blues and make today a little bit brighter.

Some tips I learned on how to brighten your mood.

  1. Open the curtains in you home to let the natural sunlight in your home.
  2. Invest in a light box such as Happy Light, Scientists have demonstrated that bright light therapy can act like daylight to restore balance, mood and energy.
  3. Even when it is really cold out, go outside for a quick walk.  We get used to staying in when it is cold but the fresh air does make a difference.
  4. Eating smarter can make a huge impact on how you feel.  Don’t forget to add some fruits and vegetables into your diet.

While at the Citizen Watch Flagship store in Times Square I was introduced to their latest technology of Eco drive.  I love that their watches do not require a battery to run.  A win for the environment too.

How great is it that your watch can still keep time when stored in a dark place for a period of time.

I have several watches that I don’t wear because I need to replace a battery.  My citizen watch that I received last year has only need to change the time for Daylight savings.

As styles have changed over the years so has their technology.

  1. We fight the winter blues by opening all the blinds during the daytime and letting the sunlight in. While the windows may let some cold in with the blinds open, to combat that, we bought the heavy duty cutains that keep out cold, heat, and light. We cut them in half and only put them in the top half of the windows between the window and the blinds to keep out the colder air. It works great and looks just fine.

  17. Fall & winter r my favorite seasons, so I don’t get the blues. But, I always open my shades & I have string lights throughout my house.

  18. I try to go our everyday to get the sunshine. I also decorate with lights on my fireplace, I lookup and they make me happy.

  21. I am eliminating my winter blues by heading south tomorrow for two weeks of warm weather and sunshine! Usually I make sure I exercise outside in the sun as it seems to lift my mood.

  26. I make sure to open the blinds throughout the house first thing every morning. I also try to get out of the house whenever possible and spend some time outdoors each day possible.

  31. I try to remain active and outgoing as much as possible. It’s when that stops that I seem to get in a rut!

  40. I live in Southern California so I get lots of sunshine, but I do get the blues..just not winter ones. I find that if I surround myself with life (animals and plants) and color (in my house and in my clothes) that really helps me. Also the best (I know!) way to beat the blues is intense exercise. When I lost a loved one, I started to train for a marathon and it really helped me feel better.

  46. I watch HGTV Beachfront property, Caribbean life which always helps me feel better. I love seeing the ocean and the palm trees. I also do a lot of cooking and baking to enjoy the time when we are inside for winter.

  48. We open all the curtains. My husband has an old dresser mirror, and he moves it around the yard, reflecting the sunlight into the house. Yes, he is retired.

  49. Winter Blues are definitely an issue here, it is overcast until mid morning here even during the summer months. I try to get outside every day even in the coldest weather and feel better when I do consistently.

  50. I left a comment as Melissa S on the Success with the Jenny Craig Starter Kit at Walmart post.

  51. We fight the winter blues by embracing the cold. We have movie nights snuggled under covers and enjoy hot homemade soups.

  53. To help ward off those winter blues I try to keep a positive outlook. I also am eating healthier and your tip of going for a brisk walk does a world of good for me, even at times when it can’t be for very long it helps.

  56. If I cant go outside I open my big picture window which gets lots of bright light during the day.

  64. I usually just make sure the curtains are open and the heater is turned up. If it doesnt feel like summer outside, Ill make it feel that way inside

  65. I go for a run first thing after breakfast – it’s still dark out but halfway through my run the sun comes up so I get to see a beautiful moon then a beautiful sunrise all before 7am 😀

  71. I work out at the gym and go to yoga sessions. It’s not the same as being outside but at least it keeps me active.

  72. Luckily I live in a sunny place year round. I leave the blinds open at night to let the light come in the morning.

  73. To help myself with the winter blues I start doing my spring cleaning already at the end of January, this can take days to do so it helps the days pass faster for me.

  74. I commented on this non-giveaway post; New Video Clips for Zootopia in Theaters March 4th

  75. I also commented on this non-giveaway post; Pete’s Dragon Trailer – In Theaters August 2016

  77. I love to fill my home with flowers and plants! And open the curtains to let in natural light of coarse. 🙂

  90. I try to stay outdoors as much as possible while the sun is out. The #1 thing I always do is go out for a walk during lunch. It doesn’t matter if its a raining or snowing. I need to be outside to make the workday go quicker.

  94. Commented on post Success with the Jenny Craig Starter Kit at Walmart.

  97. I think that being forced to walk my dog every day- even in Winter- keeps most of the blues away.

  99. I have never really noticed having any ‘winter blues’ , and I make the most of the light by making certain that I get outside on sunny days and making certain that whatever light possible gets into the house through the windows.

  101. Whenever my hubby’s around during the winter, I love when he builds a fire in our fireplace…it makes it so much cozier & warm-feeling! And I like to light candles, too!

  109. I keep my blinds WIDE OPEN during the day to let light flood the house and make sure that we take at least a 10-15 minute walk everyday to get some fresh air and sunshine (weather permitting).

  112. By continuing to do my daily exercise whether indoor or outdoor. I will eat & drink smarter & healthier

  119. I open the blinds to make the house brighter with natural light. I appreciate any sunny days we get where I live.

  120. I sit outside on the patio and do my blogging. It’s an excellent way to get natural light and pep.

  121. I do my best to get up with the sunlight and go to bed a little early during the winter months! I also leave my curtains open more to let in the natural sunlight!

  124. I commented on the Marvel’s Captain America Civil War in Theaters May 6th (Trailer) post as Melissa S.

  125. I’m lucky that my office gets a lot of natural light! But on cloudy days, I use a small light machine!

  126. I do try to get outside regardless if it’s winter or not. I appreciate my dog because he inspires me to get out there and play ball or take walks! ☺I keep the blinds open as well!

  129. I don’t really get the winter blues. I like being inside my comfy, warm home on a blustery winter day. Thank you for the great giveaway.

  130. I eliminate the winter blues by opening up my curtains/mini-blinds and letting in lots of natural sunlight in my home.

  133. I never get the Winter blues because I live in Florida. I love going for walks outside when it is nice and cool out.

  134. I get a lot of morning sun so I make sure to have the blinds wide open as soon as the sun goes up. When it’s cloudy for too long, I have one of those personal blue lights.

  138. For me, living in Las Vegas, Fall/Winter/Spring are really the best times to be out! So getting out into the sun and going to the park, going shopping, really just getting out of the house helps with winter blues!

  145. Luckily we have mild winters with plenty of sunshine, so my wife & I usually are able to go for a walk / run most days to stay active i.e. regular exercise can help with mood disorders !
