Mostly because I don&#39;t see 7am anymore due to winter lethargy, and I think I need to again. <br /><br />These are all great ideas, Sarah! I&#39;ve started devoting at least 30 minutes a day to exercise (a combo of cardio, strength, core workout and Yoga), and I do feel better. I&#39;m also taking a daily vitamin (the Flintstones!) to ensure I&#39;m getting the vitamins and minerals I need.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12809397616829044745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-26696588131663304022010-01-21T10:39:02.555-06:002010-01-21T10:39:02.555-06:00Such a good idea!

We think we are solar powered :)<br />Living in a small sea-side town for our whole lives has made us addicted to the sun. Whenever it&#39;s raining things just don&#39;t seem to work as well. Then we have one day in the sun and volia we feel better :)bechttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13654662374050918676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-29330976982573459142010-01-21T01:14:57.727-06:002010-01-21T01:14:57.727-06:00I&#39;m not entirely sure, but I think you&#39;re writing this blog specifically for me.

I get into a cranky mind set every January because the world seems to stop and I like being in the middle of the year working on a million things and living. January is too slow and gives me too much time to think... my recipe for happy is <br /><br />* Exercise everyday<br />* Eat leafy greens <br />* Clean<br />* Do body maintenance - paint nails, hair treaments<br />* At the end of the day sit down with a cup of tea and your favourite chocolate and watch a crappy DVD. I can&#39;t relax unless I&#39;ve earned it first!Lady Smagglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04785404294173076986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-68881819090339416852010-01-20T19:43:25.575-06:002010-01-20T19:43:25.575-06:00Your posts always, always brighten my days. :)<br /><br />I think what I&#39;m saying is that your blog is definitely part of my prescription for happy!Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18290197769653336102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-22028356039225025922010-01-20T19:20:23.476-06:002010-01-20T19:20:23.476-06:00I think with exercise, and everything similar (rewarding but hard to start), it&#39;s good to start small. <br /><br />I started swimming by saying that I would swim every day, but not worry about distance, speed, or time. Just improve my technique, and enjoy myself. Over time I got the distance and speed anyway!<br /><br />Doing something every day, just for 5 minutes the first week, and then 10 the second, 15 the third etc, is a very good way to start a habit.Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07756723544792981390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-27151760319457477762010-01-20T14:31:16.813-06:002010-01-20T14:31:16.813-06:00lovely! just what i needed!Whittershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16313828894605218575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-62236020725975910482010-01-20T14:31:11.233-06:002010-01-20T14:31:11.233-06:00What a great idea! Thanks Sarah!<br />(Mind you it&#39;s still Summer here, but it&#39;s not always the seasons that doit to you!)<br /><br />I&#39;ll steal one of yours:<br /><br />1) 25 mins aerobic exercise 4x / wk<br />2) Jump on the &#39;jumpoline&#39; with Rose whenever she wants<br />3) Finish reading the new book<br />4) Stop worrying about work, just do it and concentrate more on enjoying the outside of work<br /><br />thanks again<br />Kate<br />http://d4rose.blogspot.comKatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09698893670378927507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-78154997116528083882010-01-20T14:21:33.154-06:002010-01-20T14:21:33.154-06:00Hello!<br />Mine would be -<br />1. Play with Johnny the cat and Mr. C ( once daily )<br />2. Walk 30 min (5x a week)<br />3. Send a handmade postcard to one friend and family member (1/week)<br />4. Dance for 30 min (2x a week)<br />5. At night list 7 good things that happened that day<br /><br />It&#39;s starting to feel a bit like summer here in Welly, Sar!

Stroking and fussing my cats daily.<br />3. Writing a little something every day.<br />4. Taking Omega 3 and vitamins every day.<br />5. Keeping up with my art and sign language classes each week.<br />6. Continuing on my journey with The Secret.<br /><br />I obviously need a slightly longer prescription than most!!<br /><br />http://sothisisthesecret.blogspot.com/Sarah_J_Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16490860689633421172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-18252336363537477602010-01-20T10:59:30.116-06:002010-01-20T10:59:30.116-06:00Alli - Wow!

As a fellow Minnesotan, I too, find this time of year to be incredibly difficult. I&#39;m coping fairly well right now, but I know once February hits, the slump will begin.

When I&#39;m feeling down I ask myself &quot;what would I be doing if I wasn&#39;t in the dumps?&quot; &amp; then I get to it.<br /><br />And dance music &amp; tickling my baby helps too :)<br /><br />danired922.blogspot.comEricahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308551343668366979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-3838207818838435862010-01-20T10:32:40.227-06:002010-01-20T10:32:40.227-06:00Excellent idea -- it is true, when I write down very specific goals, I tend to stick to them mentally!

I&#39;m pretty okay with the weather, but I&#39;m addicted to writing intense to-do lists and sometimes get overwhelmed looking at all I have to do. A few years ago, I realized that putting things like &quot;watch House&quot; or &quot;take a bubble bath&quot; on my to-do list really helped keep my stress down.That Kind of Girlhttp://notthatkindofgirl.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258898549308554189.post-71545741573329635592010-01-20T09:53:29.992-06:002010-01-20T09:53:29.992-06:00What a great idea! What does that say about us, as a culture, that we take orders to pop pills more seriously than advice to take care of our health in commonsense ways? <br /><br />My husband has a prescription &quot;sun box&quot; light for Seasonal Affective Disorder that makes any room feel like summer. <br /><br />Also...<br /><br />Wearing bright colors,<br />Eating lots of produce and taking Vitamin D supplements in winter,<br />Belly dancing to YouTube lessons,<br />Going to a sledding/tubing hill like a kid,<br />Partner showers,<br />Hanging out with people who make you laugh...<br /><br />All these work for me!<br /><br />Oh, and NEVER going to Walmart. Ever. Blech.Genie of the Shellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08971882597502010124noreply@blogger.com
