FiS Wellness

Cold weather and shorter days can cause some "winter blues." It's common to feel sad, overwhelmed, or unmotivated but practicing good self care will help. Instead of committing to one large thing, try the 10x10x10 rule. For example, if your goal is to walk 30 minutes a day, divide the time into three 10 minute sessions morning, noon, and night.
