10 WINTER WELLNESS TIPS

1. TAKE A WALK, maybe only five minutes, but get up and get walking. 2. BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND; give yourself a compliment every morning. 3. WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT and make you feel good. 4. PLAY, MOVE, (EXERCISE) just 5 to 10 minutes a few times a day (during commercials sneak in some exercise). 5. DRINK WATER. Since you tend to get dehydrated during the winter months, you experience chapped lips & dry skin.

Try to drink just one more glass of water a day with a goal of 3-5 8-ounce glasses a day. 6. LEARN SOMETHING NEW; a new language, how to knit etc. Always be reading, watching and experimenting. 7. GIVE YOURSELF A STAR when you reach a goal, try something new, feel great, look great, have fun or have a good day. 8. STAND AND SIT UP STRAIGHT; it’s great for your abs and your confidence. 9. MAKE A WISH LIST, not resolutions for the upcoming year. Try to make a small change every week to make your wishes come true. 10. SMILE, even when you don’t feel like it.

It will improve your spirits.
