With the holidays ending, New Year's resolutions beginning, and the colder, darker days continuing for the next few months, Soul Care & Mindset Coach, Nicole Manning, is offering a new options to the 'new year, new me' list.

The 'winter blues,' is not a medical diagnosis, and usually seasonal, melting away in late spring or summer. Seasonal depression, however, is a mental health condition triggered by the changing of the seasons and should be treated by medical health professionals. Researchers for the National Institues of Health have spent nearly four decades studying 'the winter blues' in both mild and clinical forms, to find a cause for the condition, and treatments to help it. Although shorter days seem to be a main trigger for the winter blues, much still remains unknown about these winter-related shifts in mood, that are fairly common for those living in the north. 

Shining some light on positive thinking, Manning says mindfulness can be key to resetting your internal clock's circadian rhythm. Although not a replacement of medical treatment for serious depression, The Soul Relaunch is offering a free 21-day mindfulness challenge starting January 3. 

Starting out her day each morning, Manning creates daily live videos for her clients, with pep talks focused on keeping them present to better advance their goals. 

Becoming a certified life coach, meditation facilitator, clinical hypnotist and energy healer, Manning said the work has not only changed the lives of her clients, it's also given her own life a 360 turn as well.
