I hate winter...

During winter, i'm very weak, anti-social and get easilly cold. I feel very demotivated to try anything and i sleep for long hours....plus i get sick all the time and i always start my year very badly with anxiousness about nothing significant. I also feel very demotivated to hit the gym. Basically, i waste 4 months of my life every year doing nothing but sitting warm in my bed.
Winter just sucks for me even though my country does not have the coldest winds.
How do you guys go through winter?

Winter is the best time to go really hit the gym consistently.

Keep in shape, in the winter I usually get vitamin b shots, they give me enough energy and I try not to think about the cold too much. I also have friends that keep me busy. I know some people who get sick in the winter no matter what they do....you might just be one of those people. I say dont get flu shots, they usually make you sick. If you can migrate south for most of the winter.

Get some really strong lamps. You can get some that simulate daylight.
In Scandinavia some spas have these light benches where you can lie down and soak in good light (not like tanning beds). For many it's the darkness that really gets to them.

Andreas,
Where are you located? Your name sounds Scandinavian. Anyways that you can live part of the year or even relocate completely to a warmer location? I also hate winter and spent last winter in Thailand and the Philippines and loved every second of it. And this is the only way to go really. Work towards achieving that.

I love winter. I grew up with long winters my whole life though so I'm pretty biased. Try picking up a new winter hobby such as skiing or snowboarding or try something indoors like racquetball.
As a kid I would play pond hockey every night until it got dark. Christmas season always puts me in a great mood as well.
If relocating isn't an viable option, keeping it positive and finding something to look forward to once winter rolls around will make all the difference.

I pull better in the winter. My wardrobe is always tighter than it's summer counterpart. The cold gets me wound up, and I like the romantic aspect of fireplaces, ski lodges, ect. It helps escalate physically when a girl squeezes next to you in a bar or wraps around your arm when walking.
It's nice to see a chick in a bikini but you see what you're getting beforehand. I like the element of surprise when undressing a girl wearing long boots, sweaters, and coats. Kinda like unwrapping a present.
Winter is a great time to travel to avoid the touristy prices and competition. The local girls are where they're supposed to be, and the exotic factor is greater for you. In short, my best pulls have come from the winter months.

Agree with Ali, I can alo dress much better in Winters, So many variations one can do with Sportscoat/Suits/Overcoats/Scarfs etc.
Like other posters said, Hit the GYM, I see a substantial increase in the amount of good looking girls that are at the GYM during winters.
To the OP, you said you get sick alot during winters, Do anything to boost your Immune system, Take Vit C, Vit D, Vit B , Hell just take a Multivitamin, Keep well Hydrated, Take lots of Citrus Fruits , Plenty of sleep , You are good to go Man.............

Andreas, I feel your pain buddy. I live in the Northeast US and winter is fucking brutal.
I don't know how much a lack of sunlight is a factor during the winter in Cyprus, but I recently purchased this: (Search amazon for Philips goLite blu, I can't post links until I have 10 posts) and have been blasting my face with light for 30minutes first thing in the morning.
Gets me going and ready to fuck shit up at work like none other. There's definitely a noticeable benefit in my mood and energy levels. Good luck dude.
Also, hitting the gym hard and consistently is extremely helpful, as other people have mentioned.

I find medietations helps you get your center and into a good "zone" everyday before you sleep or after you wake up try to mediatate for a good 15-20 minutes and if done uninterrupted then you should feel a lot better.

It's the bird flu and you're gonna DIE houston. Naw I'm just kidding. Make some matza ball soup with leftover beer butt chicken and you'll get over it quick.
This is TOTALLY my unscientific opinion. I believe it is healthier to live in a climate with 4 season changes. Can't explain why but I always feel better in that environment.

Cyprus huh.
I live in Toronto, you're pretty lucky. Last winter we had a day with -30 F wind chill. I had to walk to school in that kind of temperature. Its fucking brutal, especially because I live near the lake and its windy as hell. I even went to sarge downtown in that kind of weather with a brutal 20 minute walk to the station.

Too bad... But I can't understand your pain, since I never had a real winter and I never seen the snow.
Deixa que essa fase é passageira, amanhã será melhor você vai ver a cidade inteira seu samba saber de cor!

Its been snowing here for about 2 weeks and I just heard the weather forecast for the next few days in my area, Saturday the HIGH is -19C, it'll probably dip down to -25 or so, and its only mid-November!!! For sure they'll see -35 to -40 this winter in Alberta, good thing I"m getting the f**k out for a few months!
