Grey weather tips

First off, be active! Play pickleball, badminton, or hockey or take the shuttle to Dakota Ridge for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Or go for a walk in the rain and focus on how much you’ll enjoy your hot shower afterwards.

Second, be social! Schedule one-on-one coffee dates, join a group dance class, or drop-in to a casual sports night.

Third, eat healthy! Fresh food is like good medicine to your mind and body.

Fourth, learn something new by finding a YouTube channel which focuses on a hobby that you want to explore. Watching someone else be productive may motivate you to take on that project that you’ve been putting off.

The key is to be active and social. Invite your friend or neighbour out for a walk or for a coffee. Afterall, they’ll be grateful that you've helped them get out of their winter funk.
