You CAN get higher energy levels with increased fruits and vegetables. Whole grains and lean proteins can have the same impact. So, toss the sweets (and anything heavily processed) for a week and see your energy levels soar!

Instead of sitting at the kitchen table to enjoy your favorite morning beverage, use a thermos and light up the sidewalk. Exercise is a natural anti-depressant. You'll feel better when you're done, so get out the door now!
January is no time to slouch off on gardening. You can sow indoors or in a greenhouse all these: celery, celeriac, broad beans, salad leaves, spinach, spring onions, or turnips. Sturdy, clear plastic drink cups make a good "mini-greenhouse." Use one for the soil and a slightly smaller size upside down for the greenhouse roof. Happy salad time!
Scent can lift your mood. It can also trigger positive emotions and memories. Find a scent you especially enjoy (floral, herbal, or something that reminds you of a favorite person) and infuse an item in your house with it. Then, when you are down, bring it close and inhale. Mood lifted!
When you're down emotionally (It's a winter thing!!), try foods with high magnesium. Science tells us there's a link between the two. So, bananas, brown rice, spinach, figs, avocado, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds and mackerel ... where are you? I'm heading to the market now.
