Beating the…WINTER DOLDRUMS
When the excitement of the holidays dies down and the cold weather tightens its icy grip, how can you avoid falling into a winter rut?
- Gain A New Perspective. Look at the New Year as a fresh start. Whether you make a few small changes or finally commit to one big change, a new year affords you the chance to start over. Forget past mistakes, self-defeating attitudes, indecisions and negative behaviors. Think of a new year as the adult version of a child's “do-over.”
- Get Out! Don't let the cold weather send you hibernating all winter. Fill a thermos with one of our gourmet hot cocoas or pudding shakes (they're great heated in a microwave), and take a walk to the park with your kids…or your dog! Go ice skating or skiing. Take a post-lunch walk around your office building to burn calories.
- Try Something New. Take a kickboxing class instead of hopping on the treadmill. Try our Vegetarian Sloppy Joe or Hearty Beef Stew if you've never eaten one of our entrees. Listen to jazz instead of Top 40. Read the latest bestseller instead of watching TV after dinner.
- Think SUMMER. Why wait for the summer when you can bring summer to you? Fill a vase with fresh flowers for your office desk. Go swimming in a heated, indoor pool. Install a tropical screensaver on your computer. Stir up a glass of our Strawberry Kiwi or Mixed Berry fruit drink. Buy a soothing “nature sounds” tape so you can listen to ocean waves on your morning commute…sounds good, eh?
