If you find yourself dreading the rapid approach of winter this year, or you are reading this article during the winter, then you must be someone who suffers from the winter blues, since that is what the title of this article is about. The winter blues can be everything from just a general lack of energy or desire, to full blown depression. One of the major culprits that cause the winter blues is folks often find themselves stuck inside on the them cold winter days with nothing to do.
First of all, a person with nothing to do, is what I would consider a very lucky person, but that's just me thinking that way. I often wish there was a lot more hours in the day, to get things done, and so don't most other people, in fact a lot of us don't have time to get the winter blues.
If you do find the winter blues creeping in your life this season, why not take up an activity to help beat it, reading out loud. Now, reading a book and reading out loud are two different things that cause a lot different actions and outcomes. If your alone during the winter when you get the blues, reading a book to yourself mentally can very easily make you tired and even more depressed then you were. In fact a lot of folks, put themselves to sleep at night by reading.
Reading a book out loud is something that I do every day, I do it in the early morning when I sit, alone. I read the Holy Bible, and I love doing it. The reading out loud helps me relax, and I try to picture the biblical events as they must of happened when I read. Also, I have never been great at public speaking or even talking very plain, reading out loud helps me to relax and concentrate on pronouncing my words properly.
Now, if you don't want to read the Holy Bible, that's up to you, just grab a favorite magazine or book that is on a subject you like and read away. You can read out loud anytime you find yourself getting bored in the winter. If you have children around, when your stuck inside, grab a favorite book and read it to them, that way you all can have a great family time together. Reading out loud not only broadens the mind but it's a great, fun way to help beat the winter blues.
