Treatment for Winter Blues: Notes from people who know what helps.
I also try to spend one hour a day outside six out of seven days all year long.
One of the best things I have found that works for sad is lap swimming with goggles. Use of goggles alows you to keep your eyes open and the refraction of the water off the bottom of the pool is most helpful. I almost never miss in the fall and winter, a 6 am swim is the best way to start the day. Salie G
