Do you feel like the same person in February as in June? For most people, the answer is a resounding no.
During winter, your energy tends to dip, your immune system takes a hit and you may feel less social. Research finds that people are less inclined to stick to a workout routine in winter.
In contrast, spring’s longer days can make you feel like you’re coming alive with energy, with summer reported as the most active and social of the seasons.
And depending on what part of the world you live in, your energy in February or June will be very different from family members and colleagues in the opposite hemisphere.
