Engage in indoor activities like dancing to your favorite holiday music or trying out a new fitness class. Regular exercise can boost your mood and energy levels (CDC). Ensure you get enough sleep. It’s essential for your immune system and managing stress. Aim for 7-9 hours per night (Sleep Foundation). November 13th marks World Kindness Day.
