Tips to Combat the ā€œWinter Bluesā€ ā„ļø When the days get shorter and the cold starts creeping in, it’s easy to feel your energy dip. The winter blues are real—but so is your power.

The first step to shifting your energy? Move your body. Movement is medicine, and that’s not just a cute line—it’s proven to boost your mood, fire up your focus, and steady your mindset. Here’s how I keep it a non-negotiable even when life gets loud:

1ļøāƒ£ HABIT STACK: Pair movement with something you already do and watch the excuses disappear. Here are some ideas you can start today:

  • Brewing coffee → Pushups on the counter

  • School drop-off → 5-minute power walk

  • TV time → crunches or mobility work

2ļøāƒ£ MICRO-BLOCKS: Micro-moves add up to macro shifts. Ten minutes between calls. Fifteen minutes after the kids go down. It all counts, and it all compounds.

3ļøāƒ£ SHARE YOUR GOALS: Tell your people. Loop in your squad. Accountability is a superpower.

4ļøāƒ£ MAKE IT SOCIAL: Grab a friend, your partner, or join a challenge like #3for31. Community sharpens consistency.

5ļøāƒ£ TRACK YOUR WINS: Recognition fuels repetition. Use a checkmark, a daily note, or a weekly reflection to stay honest and celebrate your momentum.

Question: I’m trying to get more fiber in my diet. What are some easy ways to add it?

- Amy

Answer: Love this question! Fiber supports a healthy gut microbiome, steadies blood sugar, promotes heart health, and keeps you full longer—basically, it’s doing the most. The easiest way to increase it? Add more plants. Fruits, veggies, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds are all loaded with fiber, and you’ll crush your daily goal just by stacking a few of these:

1 medium apple = 4g

1 sweet potato (with skin) = 4g

½ cup brown rice = 5g

½ cup black beans = 7g

1 oz chia seeds = 10g

1 cup raspberries = 8g

1 cup boiled broccoli = 5g
