Is the cold outside keeping you from exercising? Do you feel down, or anxious, or stressed?

In this episode, we’re going to tackle why exercise is so important to keep up even in the winter and how that boosts your mental health!

Winter’s shorter, darker days can impact mood, energy, sleep, and stress—regardless of where you live. Exercise is one of the most powerful tools to combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Outdoor movement mimics light therapy, boosts serotonin and endorphins, lowers cortisol, improves sleep, enhances brain function, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system for stress management. Even indoor movement helps. Combined with eating well, Mediterranean diet recipes, strength training, and good time management, regular winter exercise supports both mental and physical health and builds resilience through the colder months.

In this season, is the possibility of having an hour long quiet time with Jesus just a wishful dream? How about 10 minutes? What do you do in a situation where you have zero time for your self care and zero time to carve out to spend with Jesus?

In this episode, we’re going to look at the routines we do already and find a way to repurpose that time to carve out self care time in the middle of all the Christmas rush.
