Why does the nice weather...

Mom2Dogs — Sun, 21 Mar 2021 15:05:35 GMT

....give me (and probably others) a real good mental boost?

Yesterday was beautiful in my area. After morning coffee and the news watching, I hit the floor running...I got a lot done!!

Today is the same thing, I have a number of things on my list to get accomplished and I know they will get done

When it's winter, ugh I feel like a lump most days when I don't have to go to work.

So thankful spring is here!

@Mom2Dogs

You are not alone. On pretty days, I seem to have endless energy.

Gloomy ones get me out of sorts.

I do enjoy winter, but my body and soul are ready for Spring!

Totally understand, Same way with me, but with the opposite weather.

I get a huge boost of energy when it is cold. It's like a red bull energy shot from Mother nature. But I'm a total couch potato in the summer and get really depressed. Heat makes me miserable.

I sometimes joke that my taste bud preference comes from my Mexican DNA. I need lots of flavor and can eat jalapeños whole. But my weather preference comes from my Russian/Czech DNA.

It's like being part fire, part ice.

Oh, I understand.

Come summer, when it is hot and humid (I'm in Maryland), I feel like a wet dishrag. I'm not a hot weather person, really.

When it is cold, wet and gray outside I feel anxious. But, I do enjoy the cold temps as long as they are not below freezing

My favorite seasons are the transitional ones. A feeling of renewal in Spring and then, in the Autumn...preparing for the winter.

I'm the opposite. I love cold, rainy days. I get sick of day after day, month after month of sunshine.

I feel the same way--- the cold weather energizes me❄️ while the hot humid Texas summers make me melt and zaps all my energy.....🔥🌞🌡

I love rainy days too......🌧️

Spring isnt too bad when it stays in the 70's and the humidity stays away.....love the wild flowers.....🌷🌼

Me too! I love warm sunny (not too hot & humid) days! I hate winter when it's always cold, dreary & gray.

In spring I love seeing the burst of color with foliage, flowers and the sunshine gives me a boost of natural vitamin D!

DH and I were out in the yard...raking leaves AGAIN, cause the neighbor does not rake...grrr...

we commented glad it's not 80 degrees outside. I like to work in the yard but not in high heat, like I used to be able to do.

@Mom2Dogs It was beautiful where I live for the first day of Spring. However, you must be younger because I can have it my mind what I want to do but it rarely gets accomplished. LOL

I had the same conversation this morning with spouse!

The days have been rainy, dreary & chilly...told him I have no desire to be productive & no energy...

on sunny days I'm raring to go...full motivation mode🙂

Many people slow down in colder, darker seasons. In bright warm seasons we warm up and get more active.

This is much like hibernation and not unusual. We also gain weight! All of this is well documented.
