As every year with the approach of winter, the cold arrives and the motivation disappears. The days are getting shorter, we hardly see the light of day anymore and the only thing we want to do is to wedge under a plaid in front of a movie. That's why we're going to explain how to keep smiling despite everything.

Taking care of yourself

With the onset of cold weather, our immune system must be even more reactive in order to defend itself against the microbes around us. But not to mention runny nose or headache, our body in general is weakened by temperatures. That's why it's necessary to take care of yourself. In addition, it is good for our mind and our mental health to stop thinking about classes, work, and simply focus on ourselves for a moment. So set yourself an evening, a day, a weekend even to pamper yourself. Take a warm bath, make yourself a mask for your face and hair. Watch your favorite movie by putting polish on your nails. Do not forget to hydrate yourself as much as possible and wash your hands regularly to avoid getting sick. Enjoy what you love to do and make yourself feel good about yourself and in your head and be ready to face the rest of the world the next day. 

Sleep

It may sound silly, but our body needs to sleep in order to rest and rebuild. This is related to the first tip: the less you sleep, the less good you will feel and the more you will be the perfect target for germs. This is why it is necessary to sleep 7 to 8 hours a night to be in good shape the next day. For this, do not take your phone with you to sleep, the Instagram posts of your friends can wait until the next day. Maybe you don't need two hours in the morning to get ready, try to shower in the evening, you'll save time and sleep. Even if you manage to save only a few minutes, these can be very useful for the next few days to come. 

Sorting

Many talk about spring cleaning, but we think an autumn cleaning wouldn't hurt either. Indeed, sorting through your clothes, your kitchen, your papers allow you to take control of your life. You can very quickly feel overwhelmed when exams are fast approaching or when you have an endless list of missions to do at work. So, taking time to reorganize gives us the opportunity to reduce stress and, precisely, regain control. When you have clear ideas at home, professional life will follow. So throw the cans that date from 2015 in the back of your closets, sell your old clothes that you kept "just in case" and go buy that beautiful sorter that made you eye to store all your bills. You will feel much better to face the rest of the winter. 

Sometimes it is necessary to recall the most obvious and easy to apply tips because with morale at zero, we can quickly forget. Autumn and winter can be as enjoyable as summer, you just have to prepare well in advance.
