How to survive to an ugly weather in Denmark?

Years a go, when I move here, I was so enthusiastic about the good things that you find here: biking, child friendly city, exquisite design, short distances, a quality life in general.

All this is great, but what about the weather? 

The lack of light is devastating.

 Danes are known for their resilience and positive attitude, but even the most optimistic person can find it challenging to maintain a good mood and energy up during the long, rainy,  and often grey Danish winters, even sometimes inauspicious summers. Could be sadly, touching the edge of depressing some days.

 However, there are ways to survive the weather and keep our spirits high, or just in a surviving mode. 

 First, it's important to embrace the life finding activities that can be enjoyed in any condition, outdoor or indoor.

Whether it's biking, running, or just taking a walk, getting outside and getting some fresh air can do wonders for our mood and energy levels.

Even in a cloudy day, the photons that you can absorb outside are irreplaceable, most of all, are necessary for generate the hormones for to get sleep.

 Indoor activities can also be a great way to combat the weather-related blues. Visiting museums, reading, trying to learn something, or pursuing a hobby can keep our minds engaged and provide a sense of accomplishment. 

Additionally, the Danish concept of hygge, or coziness, can be embraced by creating a warm and inviting atmosphere at home with loved ones, good food and drinks. 

Self-care is crucial in coping with the weather. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise regularly. This can help to improve overall physical and mental well-being. 

Other important factor is to get the basic micronutrients, in a regular way, like vitamin D, C , magnesium to absorb it, probiotics and spirulina, chia or maca as a great source of natural suplements.

Another key, is to stay connected with friends and loved ones. Joining a club or sports team, taking a class, or volunteering, can provide opportunities to meet new people and form social connections.

Surviving the often cold and grey weather in Denmark can be a challenge, but by embracing the weather, finding indoor and outdoor activities that you enjoy, practicing self-care, seeking social support or in the extremes cases seeking professional help if needed, you can maintain a good mood and energy throughout the year.
