Is It Time to Hibernate?..............by Susan

I started feeling very depressed the day after Christmas.....I thought. I now believe I was actually extremely tired and overloaded with too much food. I felt angry and wanted to bite people's heads off. I wanted to sleep and sleep and sleep.
January and February are often very cold and dreary here in Missouri. These are the months my husband and I usually believe we are more depressed. I'm beginning to wonder if that's really true. Is it normal to slow down and want to hibernate during this time of year? According to an article I recently read, many people years ago were well known to slow down in Winter. You can read the article here: http://psychcentral.com/lib/2008/post-winter-holidays-hibernation-or-depression/
I think we will all feel better about ourselves at this time of year if we tell ourselves, "it's okay to slow down, rest, and spend time alone getting in touch again with what's important to us." After the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's we need to ponder on the events of the past year and make plans for the new one. Not resolutions, they are too easily broken and tossed aside. Plan new ways to enrich your life. Think of ways to make it easier, more enjoyable and meaningful for yourself and the others who touch your life.
