Middle Tennessee is a beautiful place to live, but the dreary winter weather can still get the best of us! Don’t let the overcast skies and roller coaster temps get you down. Try these tips to brighten your home environment and lighten your mood!

1. Fill your home with upbeat, feel-good music (try the Morning Motivation Spotify playlist!).

2. Brighten up your environment with additional artificial lighting, or invest in a light therapy lamp.

3. Keep your thermostat between 64F and 70F degrees.

4. Use an oil diffuser for aromatherapy (try lavender, bergamot, orange, or peppermint oil to help ease the symptoms of seasonal depression).

5. Add a new indoor plant to your home, or buy some fresh flowers.

6. Tackle a small, manageable home task for a sense of accomplishment and a serotonin boost (try cleaning out your junk drawer or organizing your refrigerator).
