Communication Tip of the Month: Hope Is the Antidote for the Winter Blues

Like many people, my mood and level of motivation often change with the seasons. As the temperature drops, so does my determination in seeing my goals and objectives through. By the time those chilly November winds blow through the city, signaling another winter season, I have but to wait for another bout of the winter blues.

What is the easiest way to keep morale up when the temperature begins to plummet? For me, maintaining a high level of hope is often the best safeguard against the sudden arrival of winter and the lack of energy that comes with it.

What is hope? It is the belief that we have both the will and the means to accomplish our goals, whatever they may be and deal effectively with the challenges we inevitably encounter along the way.

Maintaining a high level of hope in the face of challenges is not only important to maintaining our motivation; it also impels us to find new and creative ways to achieve those goals and objectives. Hope helps us to remain flexible and optimistic even when the tasks ahead of us seem all but impossible.

This is important to remember when the winter weather darkens our vision with the specter of self-doubt and despair. To endure any period of difficulty, we must never question our belief in our own strength and ability. Instead we must maintain a conviction that we are fully prepared to meet any challenge and act accordingly.

Whether we’re facing another dark and dreary winter or an extended period of hard work and difficulty, the last thing we can afford to lose is the hope of seeing our goals through to a successful end.

Is hope your antidote too?
